Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, it's a Rare card that carries real presence on the shelf, the kind of pull that makes you stop and look twice. For anyone checking Tyranitar value today, a raw copy sits at $63, which tells you it's respected without being priced out of reach.

The collector's take on Tyranitar
Is Tyranitar worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Tyranitar runs $63, but a PSA 10 is valued at $1,825, which works out to 29.0x the ungraded price. That's a serious jump, and it's exactly why people ask if Tyranitar is worth grading in the first place. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, centering, edge wear, and surface flaws from 2005 packaging all work against you, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait aren't nothing. A Grade 9 still lands at $405, which is a solid outcome if perfect centering doesn't happen for you. If your copy already looks clean under a loupe, sending it in can make sense. If it's got soft corners or a shadow of whitening, you might just enjoy it raw and save the fee.
How rare is Tyranitar?
Delta Species wasn't a small print run set, but Rare status still means Tyranitar isn't sitting in every binder, and pulling one in genuinely gem condition is a different challenge entirely. Older cards like this one picked up handling wear over the years just from being loved, traded, and stored before slabbing was common practice, so high grade copies naturally thin out compared to what was originally printed. That gap between what's out there and what survives in top shape is a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw number.
Where can you pull Tyranitar?
We've tracked 19 recorded pulls of this Tyranitar across pack sites, all coming through mnstr, with sightings turning up in Pack 2 and Pack 5. The biggest pull we've logged came in at $223, a nice reminder that even a Rare from an older set can land a real hit when the right buyer's watching. That said, most pack openings don't end in a card like this, it's a numbers game and the odds favor the house more often than not, so treat pulling one as a nice surprise rather than a plan. If you'd rather skip the gamble entirely, buying raw or graded on the secondary market gets you the card without the variance.
