Slowpoke has always been one of those Pokemon everyone smiles at, and this printing, card #79 from the Chinese 151 Collect set released in 2023, is a nice little snapshot of that affection. It's a Common card illustrated by OKACHEKE, so it was never going to be a chase card, but plenty of collectors still want to know their Slowpoke value before they buy or sell. If you're asking how much is Slowpoke worth, the short answer is it starts modestly and grows the better the condition gets.

The collector's take on Slowpoke
Is Slowpoke worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Slowpoke sits around $2, a Grade 9 moves up to $15, and a PSA 10 in gem mint condition lands at $39, which works out to about 16.0x the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10. Common cards like this one often get overlooked for tiny centering or print flaws that keep them out of gem mint territory, so before you send one off, ask yourself honestly if the copy in your hand looks sharp enough to make the multiplier worth chasing. For a lot of collectors, grading Slowpoke only makes sense if the card is already close to perfect.
How rare is Slowpoke?
Slowpoke's Common rarity tells you most of what you need to know here. Cards at this tier print in much higher numbers than the Rares and Secret Rares of a set, so raw copies are easy to come by, and that keeps the everyday Slowpoke price grounded. The real scarcity shows up higher on the grading scale, where fewer copies manage to come back flawless, and that's exactly why a PSA 10 commands so much more than the raw version even for a Common card.
Where can you pull Slowpoke?
We've tracked Slowpoke getting pulled 200 or more times across a spread of pack sites including tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and packs, so this isn't a card that hides from openers. It's shown up in Novice Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Rookie Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack, which tells you it's the kind of card that turns up in lower-cost, higher-volume packs rather than the premium ones. The biggest recorded pull tied to Slowpoke sits at $700, a reminder that even a Common card can land in a lucky box. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble at heart, and most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat pulling for value as fun first and profit second.

Is Slowpoke worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. Grading can push the value from $2 raw up to $15 at Grade 9 or $39 at PSA 10, but grading costs and the chance of missing gem mint mean it's only worth it if your card already looks close to perfect.
How much is a PSA 10 Slowpoke worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint Slowpoke is valued at $39, which is about 16.0x the raw card's value. That gap shows just how much condition matters once a card leaves the pack.
