Tap to open
Shining Genesect is one of those cards that stops people mid-scroll, the shimmering foil treatment on that insect-like Mythical Pokemon just has a presence the standard art doesn't. It came out of Shining Legends back in 2017, an Ultra Rare pulled from the artwork of Hitoshi Ariga, and it's held a steady spot on collector want lists ever since. If you're pulling up a Shining Genesect value page because you found one in a binder or you're eyeing a copy online, the short answer is it's a modest but genuinely collectible card, not a jackpot, but not nothing either.

The collector's take on Shining Genesect
Is Shining Genesect worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Shining Genesect sits around $13, while a PSA 10 pulls in $163, which works out to about 12.5 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of spread that gets people reaching for a grading submission. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on this card. Foil surfaces like this one show every little print line, edge ding, or centering wobble under a grader's light, so plenty of raw copies that look perfect to the naked eye come back as a Grade 9 instead, which lands closer to $36. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're really only betting on that PSA 10 outcome. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe with clean corners and centering, it's worth considering. If it's got any visible wear, save yourself the fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Shining Genesect?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 5,062 graded copies of Shining Genesect on record, and of those, 1,592 have come back as PSA 10. That's a meaningful chunk earning the top grade, which tells you this card can be pulled and graded cleanly when the copy is right, it isn't some impossible unicorn. But it also means the field is real: thousands of collectors have already put their copies through grading, so a fresh PSA 10 isn't rare in the sense of nonexistent, it's rare in the sense that you're competing against a known, sizable population when you go to sell.
Where can you pull Shining Genesect?
PackSpy has tracked Shining Genesect being pulled 12 times across tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded hit landing at $185. We've seen it turn up in Pokemon Premium Pack, Tilt Treasure, Pokemon Ultimate Pack, and Pokemon Expert Pack, so if you're chasing this one by opening packs, those are the mixes where it's actually shown up in real, recorded rips, not just theoretical odds. That said, 12 pulls is a small number in the grand scheme, this isn't a card that falls out of every box. Most people who end up owning a Shining Genesect buy it directly on the secondary market rather than pull it themselves, and that's worth knowing going in: opening packs for this specific card is a gamble, and the honest data says the odds favor buying the card you want over chasing it blind.
Questions people ask
How much is Shining Genesect worth?+
A raw, ungraded Shining Genesect is worth around $13. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting near $36 and a PSA 10 reaching $163. So how much is Shining Genesect worth really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Shining Genesect worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 12.5 times the raw price. But gem mint is genuinely tough on foil cards like this one, and plenty of copies come back as a Grade 9 instead of a 10. If your copy has clean edges and centering, it's worth a shot, but go in knowing grading has a real cost and no guaranteed outcome.
What set is Shining Genesect from?+
Shining Genesect is card number 9 from Shining Legends, an Ultra Rare released in 2017 with artwork by Hitoshi Ariga. It's one of the set's standout shiny-foil cards and remains popular with collectors today.
