Suicune V is one of those Evolving Skies pulls that makes you sit up a little straighter when it lands face up, an Ultra Rare from 2021 with artwork by Ayaka Yoshida that captures the water dog legend mid-stride. If you're checking Suicune V value before buying, selling, or just sizing up your binder, the short version is that it's a modest but very real piece of value, sitting at $10 raw with real upside if you send it off for grading. It's not a chase card that breaks banks, but it's one collectors genuinely enjoy owning, and that counts for something.

The collector's take on Suicune V

Is Suicune V worth grading?

Here's the honest math on Suicune V price at each grade: raw copies run about $10, a Grade 9 sits around $20, and a true PSA 10 climbs to $85, which works out to roughly 8.5 times the raw value. That jump looks tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card like this, Evolving Skies holos are notorious for edge wear and print lines that keep otherwise clean copies out of the top grade. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you submit, and only send in copies that look sharp under a light, centered borders and clean edges matter more than you'd think. For a $10 card, grading can pay off, but it's a calculated bet, not a guarantee.

How rare is it?

We don't have hard population numbers to lean on here, but Suicune V's rarity tier tells its own story: as an Ultra Rare in a heavily opened set like Evolving Skies, it was never going to be scarce in raw form, plenty of copies exist. What is scarce is the flawless stuff, cards that survive years in binders or repeated shuffling without a whitened corner or surface scuff. That gap between common raw supply and rare gem mint condition is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the ungraded price, condition does the heavy lifting on value here, not print scarcity.

Where to pull it

We've tracked this card being pulled 34 times across pack sites like courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded hit landing at $221, well above typical market value for a lucky rip. Suicune V has turned up in a real mix of products too, including the Pokémon Pro Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Ultra Pack. That spread tells you it's not locked to one specific product, it shows up often enough that pack openers have a genuine shot at it, though as always, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost. If you'd rather skip the odds entirely, buying a graded or raw copy on the secondary market gets you the card without the variance.

Is Suicune V worth grading?+

It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sells for around 8.5 times the raw value. Just know that gem mint copies are tough to pull off with this card's finish, so weigh the grading fee against the real chance your copy grades lower than hoped.
