The collector's take on Team Skull Grunt
Is Team Skull Grunt worth grading?
So is Team Skull Grunt worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown. A raw copy runs about $8, a Grade 9 sits at $20, and a PSA 10 commands $81, which works out to roughly 10.6 times the raw price. That's a meaningful jump on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on cards from this era, corners and centering tend to give copies away, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into your margin fast. If you've got a copy that looks clean under a loupe, it can be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or edge wear, you're probably better off keeping it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Team Skull Grunt?
We don't have official population numbers on this one, but as an Ultra Rare from the Sun & Moon set, Team Skull Grunt sits in a print run that was never scarce in the way a modern low-print chase card is. That said, Ultra Rares from this era get opened, traded, and handled a lot, so truly gem mint survivors thin out over time even without a big print run to start. That natural attrition is a big part of why the PSA 10 price climbs so far above raw and Grade 9.
Where can you pull Team Skull Grunt?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually helps, because we log real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing from price guides. We've recorded Team Skull Grunt pulled 3 times, all logged at courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $87. It's shown up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack, so if you're chasing it, those are the openings worth watching. Just keep in mind that pack opening is gambling by nature, most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any pull like this as a nice bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Team Skull Grunt worth?+
A raw, ungraded Team Skull Grunt is valued at around $8 right now. Grading can push that higher, with a Grade 9 sitting at $20 and a PSA 10 reaching $81, so condition makes a real difference to what it's worth.
Is Team Skull Grunt worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 is worth about 10.6 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off, and grading costs and wait times mean it only really pays off if your copy is sharp to begin with.
How much is a PSA 10 Team Skull Grunt worth?+
A PSA 10 Team Skull Grunt is currently valued at $81, well above the $8 raw price and the $20 Grade 9 price. That's the ceiling for this card in its best possible condition.
