Shiinotic #194 is one of the illustration rares from Surging Sparks, the 2024 set that gave us some genuinely gorgeous artwork, and matazo's take on this glowing mushroom Pokemon is a quiet standout on collector want lists. If you're trying to nail down Shiinotic value, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $4, which makes it an approachable card to chase, but the story gets more interesting once grading enters the picture. It's the kind of card that doesn't shout for attention but rewards you for looking closely.

The collector's take on Shiinotic

Is Shiinotic worth grading?

Here's where it gets fun: a raw Shiinotic runs about $4, but a PSA 10 sells for $77, which works out to roughly 19.3 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, and it's the reason so many collectors ask whether Shiinotic is worth grading. The honest answer is it depends on the copy in your hand. Gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to hit, centering and surface quality on illustration rares can be unforgiving, and grading fees plus turnaround time are real costs you're taking on before you know the outcome. A Grade 9 still nets you $22, which softens the risk a bit if your card is strong but not flawless. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners clean, centering even, it's a reasonable gamble. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off keeping it raw or selling as is.

How rare is it?

Across all grading services combined, there are 1,581 graded copies of Shiinotic on record, and of those, 536 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That's actually a fairly healthy chunk of the population landing in gem mint, which tells you the card isn't brutally hard to find in top condition, but it also means the ones with lower grades or heavy wear are the true rarities in a strange, backwards way. For a set as popular as Surging Sparks, a population like this puts Shiinotic in a comfortable middle ground: scarce enough to matter, common enough that patient collectors can still find a nice copy without breaking the bank.

Where to pull it

We've tracked Shiinotic being pulled 4 times across pack opening sites in our records, including lastpack and packs, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $476. It's shown up in starter packs, Alola Safari, and Catch 'em All - Surging Sparks, so it's not tied to one single product, but it's also not something you should expect to pull on demand. That's the honest truth about pack openings in general: they're a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid in. If your goal is specifically owning a Shiinotic, buying a graded or raw copy on the secondary market is the more reliable path. Chasing it through packs is more about the fun of the process than the certainty of the outcome.
