Question 1

Is Seismitoad worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Seismitoad runs $244, a Grade 9 barely nudges that to $258, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $2,651, which works out to about 10.9 times the raw price. That gap tells you everything about why people grade this card, gem mint copies command a real premium. But getting a 10 is not guaranteed, illustration rares like this one can show print lines or edge wear that keep them out of gem mint territory, and grading fees plus turnaround time are a real cost whether or not you hit. If your copy already looks flawless under a loupe, it's worth the shot. If it's got soft corners or centering issues, you might be paying to confirm what you already suspected, that it grades out at a 9 or below, where the value barely moves.

Question 2

How rare is Seismitoad?

Accepted Answer

Across every copy submitted so far, only 5,933 Seismitoads have been graded at all, and of those, just 1,053 came back a PSA 10. That's roughly one in six making the top grade, which isn't impossibly rare but isn't easy either. It's enough scarcity that a true gem mint copy stands out from the pack, and it's a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures. Population reports like this matter because they show you exactly how many perfect copies are actually out there competing for buyers.

Question 3

Where can you pull Seismitoad?

Accepted Answer

PackSpy has tracked Seismitoad being pulled twice across the pack sites we monitor, showing up in Pokemon Current and Best of Scarlet & Violet openings, with one of those rips recorded at a striking $27,593. That's a real number from a real pack, not a guess, and it's the kind of insight you won't find in a static price guide. Two recorded pulls tells you this card doesn't show up often, so most collectors who want one end up buying on the secondary market rather than waiting on a rip. Worth remembering too, opening packs chasing a card like this is a gamble, most openings don't come close to that kind of number.

Question 4

How much is Seismitoad worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Seismitoad #105 currently sits at $244. Grade 9 copies are close behind at $258, but a PSA 10 changes the picture entirely, trading at $2,651. So the honest answer depends a lot on the grade you're holding or buying.

Question 5

Is Seismitoad worth grading?

Accepted Answer

If your copy is sharp and clean, grading can make sense, since a PSA 10 sells for about 10.9 times the raw price. Just know that only 1,053 of the 5,933 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it's not a sure thing, and grading costs money whether you get a 10 or not.

Question 6

What set is Seismitoad from?

Accepted Answer

Seismitoad #105 comes from the Black Bolt set, released in 2025. It's an illustration rare featuring artwork by Shinji Kanda, which is a big part of why collectors chase it beyond just the numbers.
