The collector's take on Totodile
Is Totodile worth grading?
So is Totodile worth grading? Let's talk numbers. A raw copy runs about $2, a Grade 9 jumps to $29, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy sits at $96, which works out to roughly 48.6 times the raw price. That's a real jump, no denying it. But here's the honest part: hitting a PSA 10 on a common from this era isn't automatic. Print lines, centering issues, and surface wear from being handled or stored casually back in 2005 all work against you. Grading fees add up fast, and if your copy comes back a 7 or 8 instead of a 9 or 10, you can easily end up with less than what you paid to send it in. If you've got a card that looks sharp under a loupe, corners crisp, centering dead on, it might be worth the shot. If it's just a nice-looking pack pull you love, sometimes the better move is just enjoying it raw.
How rare is Totodile?
Totodile sits in the common rarity tier, which means it was never scarce by design. Commons were printed in high numbers across Unseen Forces to fill out the set, so this isn't a card you'll struggle to find on the secondary market. What actually drives the value gap here isn't how many exist, it's how many survive in gem mint condition two decades later. A card printed in bulk back in 2005 wasn't exactly babied by every kid who pulled one, and that's exactly why a clean PSA 10 commands $96 while a played raw copy sits at $2. Scarcity for a card like this is less about the print run and more about condition surviving the years.
Where can you pull Totodile?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we don't just guess at this stuff, we record real pulls across pack opening sites. Totodile has shown up 65 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and rip-fun, and the biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card sits at $473, likely a graded or exceptional copy catching a collector's eye. You'll typically find it turning up in Pokémon Basic Pack, Water Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack style openings. Worth remembering though: opening packs is gambling at the end of the day, most rips don't turn a profit, and Totodile landing in your pack is a fun surprise rather than a payday. If you specifically want this card, buying raw off the secondary market is often the more sensible route than chasing it through packs.
Questions people ask
How much is Totodile worth?+
A raw or ungraded Totodile from Unseen Forces is worth about $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $29 and a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaching $96, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Totodile worth grading?+
It depends on the copy in hand. The PSA 10 price of $96 is about 48.6 times the raw value of $2, which sounds tempting, but gem mint commons from 2005 aren't guaranteed, and grading fees plus the risk of a lower grade can eat into any profit. If your card looks pack-fresh with sharp corners and good centering, it might be worth the gamble.
What set is Totodile from?+
Totodile #78 comes from the Unseen Forces set, released back in 2005. It's a common card illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, and it's popped up in various themed packs including Water Pack and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack based on our tracked pull data.
