The collector's take on Rocket's Scyther

Is Rocket's Scyther worth grading?

So is Rocket's Scyther worth grading? It depends on what you're holding and what you're willing to risk. A raw copy runs $57, a Grade 9 brings that up to $189, and a true PSA 10 sits at $1,095, which works out to about 19.3 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but gem mint isn't easy to land on a card from 2000. Original Gym Heroes stock has had two decades to pick up whitening, print lines, and edge wear, so a lot of raw copies simply won't grade out perfectly no matter how clean they look in your hand. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you send one in, and only submit copies you'd bet on being flawless under a loupe.

How rare is Rocket's Scyther?

Rocket's Scyther carries the Rare Holo tag from Gym Heroes, a set that's now old enough that surviving copies in top condition are genuinely harder to come by than they once were. There's no wide population data to lean on here, but the general rule holds for cards this age: the pool of high grade survivors shrinks every year, simply because these cards were opened and played with, not preserved in slabs from day one. That natural scarcity is part of why PSA 10 pricing sits so far above raw, and why patient collectors treat a clean holo from this era as worth holding onto.

Where can you pull Rocket's Scyther?

This is where PackSpy's tracking actually tells you something a price guide can't. We've recorded Rocket's Scyther pulled 12 times across sites like collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $650. It's shown up in packs like the Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs for a specific card is gambling, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid. But if you're chasing this one, those are the pack types where it's actually turned up in real, recorded pulls, not just theoretical odds.

Questions people ask

Is Rocket's Scyther worth grading?+
