Question 1

Is Raticate worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Raticate worth grading? A raw copy runs $31, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $264, which works out to about 8.5 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint is a tough bar to clear, especially on older cards like this where centering and edge wear tend to creep in over the years. Grading fees, shipping, and the waiting time all add up, and there's no guarantee you'll pull a 10 instead of a 9. A Grade 9 lands at $424, so even a near perfect copy has genuine value, but the honest answer is that grading is a bit of a gamble on top of a gamble. If your copy already looks sharp in hand, it might be worth the shot. If it's got visible flaws, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling ungraded.

Question 2

How rare is Raticate?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading submissions, there are 1,206 graded copies of Raticate on record, and only 300 of those have earned a PSA 10. That's roughly a quarter of graded copies hitting the top grade, which tells you gem mint isn't rare in some extreme sense, but it's far from guaranteed either. This kind of population data is exactly why prices sit where they do: enough copies exist to keep the card accessible, but the PSA 10 population is small enough to keep that top grade meaningfully more valuable than the rest.

Question 3

Where can you pull Raticate?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. We've recorded Raticate pulled 97 times across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $663. It's shown up in packs like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack. Worth remembering though: opening packs is gambling, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost. If you're chasing this specific card, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is often the steadier route, but if you like the thrill, those are the packs where it's actually turned up.

Question 4

How much is Raticate worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Raticate #6 from Southern Islands is valued at $31. Graded copies are worth quite a bit more, with a Grade 9 at $424 and a PSA 10 at $264, so condition makes a real difference here.

Question 5

Is Raticate worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the copy you have. A PSA 10 is worth about 8.5 times the raw price, jumping from $31 to $264, but gem mint isn't easy to hit and grading costs money and time regardless of outcome. If your card already looks clean and well centered, it's a reasonable bet.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Raticate worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Raticate is valued at $264, which is about 8.5 times the raw price of $31. Only 300 of the 1,206 total graded copies have reached that top grade, so it's a meaningful step up from the rest of the population.
