The collector's take on Team Rocket's Nidoking ex
Is Team Rocket's Nidoking ex worth grading?
So is Team Rocket's Nidoking ex worth grading? Let's look at the numbers honestly. A raw copy sits around $5, a Grade 9 climbs to $21, and a PSA 10 sits at $60, which works out to 13.3x the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's tempting. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: it's genuinely hard to hit, since even a tiny whitening on the edge or a slightly off-center print can knock a card down a grade. Add in the grading fee and the wait time, and you're taking on real risk for a shot at that top payout. If your copy already looks sharp under a light and has clean corners, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Team Rocket's Nidoking ex?
As an Ultra Rare pull from Destined Rivals, Team Rocket's Nidoking ex already sits in a tier that's harder to land than your average pack hit, and that scarcity is baked right into the price gap between raw and graded copies. We don't have official population figures to lean on here, but the jump from $5 raw to $60 for a PSA 10 tells its own story: clean, gem mint copies simply don't turn up often. For collectors, that scarcity is the whole appeal. A card that's easy to find in perfect condition rarely holds value the way this one does.
Where can you pull Team Rocket's Nidoking ex?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. Team Rocket's Nidoking ex has been recorded 25 times across lastpack and packs, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $5. We've seen it turn up in starter, EX Stampede II, and Catch 'em All - Destined Rivals, so if you're chasing this one, those are the packs worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come out ahead financially, so treat it as a fun search rather than an investment plan.
