Slowking ex #238 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Sept 2026Related Slowking ex & chase cards
Tap to open
Slowking ex is one of those Ultra Rares from Paldea Evolved that collectors keep coming back to, partly because 5ban Graphics gave it such a striking, almost regal look, and partly because card #238 has built a quiet reputation since the set launched in 2023. It's not the flashiest chase card in the set, but plenty of people search Slowking ex value just to see where it sits today. The honest answer is that raw copies are cheap and easy to find, while the graded market tells a very different story.

The collector's take on Slowking ex
Is Slowking ex worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting: a raw Slowking ex sits at $8, but a PSA 10 trades at 38.1 times that, which is a serious jump for a card that costs pocket change ungraded. A Grade 9 actually comes in at $328, higher than the PSA 10 figure of $286, which is a good reminder that grading markets don't always move in a straight line, sometimes the near perfect copy gets chased just as hard as the flawless one. Before you send this one off, weigh the grading fee and the wait against what you'd actually pocket, and remember gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card this age, centering and edges from pack pull condition rarely line up perfectly.
How rare is Slowking ex?
Right now there are 921 total graded copies of Slowking ex on record, and 404 of those have come back as PSA 10. That's a decent chunk landing at the top grade, which tells you the card isn't brutally hard to grade well, but the overall population is still modest compared to the mainstream chase cards from the same era. Scarcity like this keeps the PSA 10 price propped up even though the raw card stays affordable, because supply of graded copies is limited even if demand is fairly quiet.
Where can you pull Slowking ex?
We've tracked 7 pulls of Slowking ex across the pack sites we monitor, lastpack and packs among them, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $900, which shows just how much a lucky rip can swing in value. It's turned up in packs like rookie, trainer, and Johto Safari, so it's out there, but it's not a card you should expect on every break. Most people end up buying this one on the secondary market rather than pulling it themselves, and that's just the nature of packs: the odds favor the house, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Slowking ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Slowking ex is valued at $8, which makes it an easy card to pick up if you just want it for a binder or deck. Graded copies are worth a lot more, with PSA 10s sitting at $286 and Grade 9s actually a bit higher at $328. So the real Slowking ex value depends entirely on whether you're holding it raw or graded.
Is Slowking ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 38.1 times the raw price, which is a meaningful jump. But grading costs money and time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, especially with 921 total graded copies already out there and only 404 hitting that top grade. If your raw copy has sharp corners and clean centering, it's worth considering, but go in knowing it's a gamble, not a guarantee.
What set is Slowking ex from?+
Slowking ex #238 comes from Paldea Evolved, the Ultra Rare release from 2023 with artwork by 5ban Graphics. It's part of the wave of ex cards that gave the set its chase appeal, and it's still one collectors search for when checking Paldea Evolved prices today.
