Slowbro #24 Value
Dark Explorers · Card 24/111 · Uncommon · 2012
Slowbro #24 comes from the Islands Await You set, a Japanese release from 2012 that still turns heads with Kouki Saitou's artwork. It's an uncommon card, not flashy on paper, but it's exactly the kind of steady, well-loved piece that collectors circle back to when they're checking Slowbro value years later. If you're wondering what your copy is worth right now, raw copies sit at $15, and that number tells a bigger story once you look at graded prices.

Slowbro — collector's take
Is Slowbro worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Slowbro price jumps: a raw copy is $15, a Grade 9 sits at $46, and a PSA 10 lands at $90, which works out to 5.9x the raw price. That's a real jump, no question, but gem mint 10s are hard to land. Centering, edge wear, and print quality on cards from this era can knock a copy down a grade fast, and grading fees eat into your profit if you don't land the top grade. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand with clean corners and solid centering, it's worth considering. If it's got soft edges or a hint of whitening, you might just keep it raw and enjoy it for what it is.
How rare is it?
We don't have hard population numbers to lean on here, but Slowbro's uncommon rarity tier tells its own story. Uncommons from 2012 Japanese sets weren't printed with the scarcity of a full art or secret rare, but they also weren't churned out like commons, so clean, well-centered copies from this era do take some hunting. That in-between status is part of why the price gap between raw and PSA 10 exists at all: it's common enough to find, but genuinely tough to find in gem mint condition.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep. We've recorded Slowbro pulled 95 times across sites like collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, packs, and rip-fun, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $800. It's shown up in packs like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Water Pack, Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that $800 high. If you're chasing Slowbro specifically, buying a known copy on the secondary market is usually the steadier route, but if you love the rip, at least now you know where it's actually been showing up.
Questions people ask
How much is Slowbro worth?
A raw, ungraded Slowbro #24 is worth $15 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $46 and a PSA 10 reaching $90, so condition makes a real difference to Slowbro value.
Is Slowbro worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 5.9x what a raw copy goes for. But gem mint grades aren't easy to hit, and grading costs money regardless of the result, so it really depends on how clean your copy looks before you send it in.
What set is Slowbro from?
Slowbro #24 is from the Islands Await You set, a Japanese release from 2012. It's an uncommon card illustrated by Kouki Saitou, and it's held onto steady collector interest ever since.
