The collector's take on Tapu Koko ex
Is Tapu Koko ex worth grading?
So is it worth sending Tapu Koko ex off to get graded? Here's the honest math: a raw copy is $20, a Grade 9 comes in at $30, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $175, which works out to 8.8 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But special illustration rares like this one are notoriously easy to knock down a point on centering or a tiny edge ding, gem mint copies are genuinely hard to hit, and grading fees plus shipping and the waiting game eat into your margin fast. If you already own a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, it's worth a shot. If you're buying raw specifically to gamble on a 10, go in knowing the odds aren't guaranteed and treat it like the gamble it is.
How rare is Tapu Koko ex?
We don't have official population figures to lean on here, but the story is told by the price spread itself. A jump from $20 raw to $175 for a PSA 10 tells you gem mint copies are the exception, not the rule, for a card this detailed. Special illustration rares carry a lot of fine artwork and foiling that's unforgiving to print and handling flaws, so even without exact pop numbers, you can trust that a true 10 is the rare outcome, and that scarcity is exactly what keeps the graded price so far above raw.
Where can you pull Tapu Koko ex?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we actually track real pulls across pack sites rather than just estimating. Tapu Koko ex has been pulled 124 times across courtyard, packs, collector-crypt, and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $103. We've seen it turn up in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Catch 'em All - Journey Together, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, noobie, and Wildcard Starter Pack. That said, pulling one yourself is never a sure thing, opening packs is gambling by nature and most rips don't beat what you paid, so if you just want the card in hand, buying it outright on the secondary market is usually the steadier path.
Questions people ask
How much is Tapu Koko ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Tapu Koko ex is worth $20 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $30 and a PSA 10 reaching $175, so condition makes a real difference to what it's worth.
Is Tapu Koko ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 8.8 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are hard to land with special illustration rares, and grading costs money and time, so it's really only a strong bet if your copy already looks perfect.

Tapu Koko ex #247 comes from Paradox Rift, released in 2023. It's a special illustration rare illustrated by Jerky, one of the standout chase cards from that set.
