Rattata #61 value & price

Tap to open
Rattata #61 is one of those small, familiar faces from the original 1999 Base Set, a Common illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita that plenty of us pulled without thinking twice back in the day. It will never be the chase card of the set, but there is something genuinely charming about how many collectors still come back to check the Rattata value just for nostalgia's sake. If you are wondering how much is Rattata worth right now, the short answer is it stays affordable, but the story behind the numbers is more interesting than you might expect.

The collector's take on Rattata
Is Rattata worth grading?
Raw, a Rattata #61 sits around $2, and a PSA 10 brings $85, which works out to about 50.0x the ungraded price. That is a real jump for a Common, but it comes with a catch: gem mint is genuinely hard to land, even on a card this simple, since sharp corners and clean edges from 1999 printing are not a given. Grading has its own cost and turnaround, and you are paying that fee before you know what grade you will get back, so treat it as a bit of a gamble rather than a sure thing. If you already own a crisp copy and love the process, it can be worth sending in, but if you are buying raw copies purely hoping to flip a 10, know the odds are working against you.
How rare is Rattata?
There are 1,877 graded copies of Rattata #61 on record, and of those, 387 have earned a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a meaningful slice of the graded population, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price sits where it does rather than climbing much higher. For a Common from Base Set, this kind of population tells you collectors are grading these more for completeness or nostalgia than pure investment, and the price reflects that steady, unglamorous demand rather than scarcity driving it sky high.
Where can you pull Rattata?
Across the pack sites PackSpy tracks, we have logged 52 pulls of Rattata #61, mostly showing up on courtyard and collector-crypt. It has turned up in packs like the Wildcard Starter Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Pokémon Master Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it tends to ride along in starter-style and mixed gacha packs rather than premium ones. The biggest pull value we have on record for this card is $541, a reminder that even a modest Common can occasionally land in a lucky slot. Still, opening packs chasing a specific card is a gamble more often than a win, and most rips will not beat what you would pay buying the card outright on the secondary market.
Questions people ask
How much is Rattata worth?+
A raw, ungraded Rattata #61 from Base Set typically runs around $2. Grading pushes that up, with a Grade 9 valued at $35 and a PSA 10 reaching $85, so condition makes a real difference even on a Common card.
Is Rattata worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 50.0x the raw price. But with only 387 PSA 10s out of 1,877 graded copies, gem mint is not guaranteed, so weigh the grading fee and risk against what you would actually gain.
How much is a PSA 10 Rattata worth?+
A PSA 10 Rattata #61 is valued at $85, a solid jump from the $2 raw price. It is a nice example of how even a Common Base Set card can carry real value once it hits gem mint condition.
