Tyranitar #29 comes from the Expedition set, the very first English expansion Pokemon ever released back in 2002, and that alone gives it a special kind of nostalgia. Illustrated by Kimiya Masago and sitting at Holo Rare status, it's the kind of card that shows up in a lot of childhood collections and a lot of adult 'what's this actually worth now' searches. If you're trying to pin down Tyranitar value today, the short answer is that condition changes everything, and we'll walk through exactly how much.

The collector's take on Tyranitar

Is Tyranitar worth grading?

Here's the honest version of the grading conversation. A raw, ungraded Tyranitar sits at $229, a Grade 9 jumps to $1,719, and a PSA 10 commands $14,113, which works out to roughly 61.6 times the raw price. That's a genuinely steep climb, but it's not a guarantee. Out of 2,181 graded copies on record, only 90 have made it to PSA 10, so gem mint status is far from a coin flip. Grading costs money and time regardless of the result, and a card that comes back a 9 instead of a 10 is a very different financial outcome. If your copy already looks sharp under a light, with no whitening on the edges or print lines through the holo, it's worth considering. If it's a card you love but know has soft corners, it might be better loved as is.

How rare is Tyranitar?

Scarcity here is worth sitting with for a second. Of the 2,181 copies that have been graded, only 90 have earned that top PSA 10 grade, which tells you gem mint Tyranitars are genuinely uncommon rather than just expensive on paper. That population gap between total graded copies and true 10s is exactly why the price jumps so hard at the top end. When a card is over two decades old, keeping it pack fresh all the way to a perfect grade is its own kind of achievement, and the market pays for that.

Where can you pull Tyranitar?

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing. We've recorded Tyranitar pulled 121 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and mnstr, with the biggest single recorded pull value hitting $925. It's shown up in packs like Pokemon Platinum (Spicy), Pokemon Ultra (Spicy), the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, the Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, and the Pokemon Basic Pack. That said, it's worth saying plainly: pack opening is gambling, and most rips don't cover their cost. Tyranitar shows up often enough to be a realistic pull, but plenty of collectors end up buying their copy on the secondary market instead, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Questions people ask

How much is Tyranitar worth?+

A raw, ungraded Tyranitar #29 from Expedition is valued at $229. Graded copies climb fast from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,719 and a PSA 10 reaching $14,113, so the grade on the slab makes a real difference to Tyranitar price.

Is Tyranitar worth grading?+

It can be, but go in with clear eyes. The PSA 10 price of $14,113 is about 61.6 times the raw value, which sounds great, except only 90 of the 2,181 graded copies have hit that grade. If your card is genuinely clean, grading can pay off, but it's never a sure thing.

How much is a PSA 10 Tyranitar worth?+

A PSA 10 Tyranitar is valued at $14,113, making it by far the most valuable version of this card. That's compared to $229 raw and $1,719 for a Grade 9, which shows just how much gem mint condition matters here.
