Slowking is one of those cards that quietly rewards a closer look, a psychic-type gem from the 2005 Delta Species set with artwork from Kagemaru Himeno that gives it a bit more presence than your average Rare. If you are searching for Slowking value, here is the short version: the reverse holo #28 print currently sits at $45 raw, and that number is the anchor for everything else on this page. It is not a chase card in the flashy sense, but for Delta Species collectors it is a genuinely satisfying one to own.

The collector's take on Slowking

Is Slowking worth grading?

So is Slowking worth grading? A PSA 10 currently brings $64, which works out to about 1.4 times the raw price of $45, and that is a real jump if you can hit it. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies are actually fetching $73 right now, higher than a perfect PSA 10, which is a good reminder that grading markets do not always move the way you would assume. Before you send one off, remember grading has a cost and a wait attached to it, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. If your raw copy already looks clean under a loupe it can be worth the gamble, but plenty of submitted cards come back at Grade 9 or lower, so go in with your eyes open.

How rare is Slowking?

Across every grading company combined, only 324 copies of this card have been graded, and just 80 of those hold the coveted PSA 10 label. That is a fairly tight population for a card that has been around since 2005, and it tells you gem mint Slowkings do not turn up often. When a card has a low population at the top grade, prices tend to hold steadier over time simply because there are so few perfect copies chasing collector demand, and that scarcity is a big part of what keeps this card relevant to serious Delta Species collectors.

Where can you pull Slowking?

This is where our data actually helps rather than just repeats a price guide. PackSpy has recorded Slowking pulled just 1 time across the pack sites we track, that single hit coming from collector-crypt inside a Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, with a recorded value of $190 on that pull. That tells you plainly this is not a card you should expect to open your way into, it is far more often bought on the secondary market than pulled fresh from a pack. If you are opening packs hoping to land one, treat it like the long shot it is, most rips do not pay off, and Slowking's rarity in our tracked data backs that up.

Questions people ask

How much is Slowking worth?+

A raw or ungraded Slowking Reverse Holo #28 is currently valued at $45. Graded copies climb from there, with Grade 9 sitting at $73 and PSA 10 at $64, so the price really depends on the condition and grade of the specific copy you have.

Is Slowking worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 1.4 times the raw price of $45. That said, only 80 of the 324 graded copies on record have hit that gem mint grade, so it is worth weighing the grading cost and risk against how sharp your copy actually looks before you submit it.

Why is the Slowking Reverse Holo #28 print worth more than the standard one?+

Reverse holo prints carry that shimmer across the card frame instead of just the artwork, which collectors tend to favor, and it is reflected in the numbers here, from the $45 raw value up through $73 for Grade 9 and $64 for PSA 10. With only 324 copies graded across all conditions, the reverse holo version stays a more sought after pull within the Delta Species set.
