The collector's take on Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex
Is Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex worth grading?
So is it worth sending Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex in for grading? A PSA 10 currently brings $833, and a PSA 10 is worth about 2.2 times the raw price of this card, so the jump is real and it's not a small one. But here's the honest part: gem mint 10s are hard to hit, especially on illustration rares where the smallest print line or edge wear on the black border can knock a card down to a 9, which lands at $410, a much smaller premium over raw. Grading costs money and takes time regardless of what comes back, so weigh that against the raw price of $384 before you commit. If your copy already looks clean under a loupe, it's worth considering. If it's got soft corners or surface scuffs, you might just be paying to confirm what you already suspected.
How rare is Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex?
We don't have official population figures to point to here, but special illustration rares as a category are intentionally scarce by design, they're the chase cards in a set, not the commons you're swimming in. That rarity tier is exactly why a card like this holds a meaningfully higher price than standard holos, and why the PSA 10 premium exists at all. Scarcity at the top grade is really what drives that $833 number, because collectors know clean copies don't come around often.
Where can you pull Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex pulled 200 or more times across real pack openings on sites like courtyard and collector-crypt. That's actual pull data, not a guess, and it tells us this card does show up if you're opening in the right places. It's turned up in the Wildcard Starter Pack, the Pokémon Starter Pack, the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, with the biggest recorded pull value on this card coming in at $295. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.
Questions people ask
How much is Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex is valued at $384. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $410 and a PSA 10 reaching $833, so condition makes a real difference to what this card is worth.
Is Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at roughly 2.2 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off, and grading fees eat into any profit if your card comes back a 9 instead, so only send in copies that look sharp to begin with.
What set is Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex from?+
Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex comes from the Ascended Heroes set, released in 2026. It's a special illustration rare featuring artwork from Mitsuhiro Arita, which is a big part of why collectors chase it.
