The collector's take on Wailord
Is Wailord worth grading?
So is Wailord worth grading? The jump from a raw $16 card to a PSA 10 at $192 is real, that works out to roughly 12.4 times the raw price, and a Grade 9 still fetches $27 if you land just under gem mint. That said, hitting a true PSA 10 is never guaranteed, illustration rares like this one can show soft printing or edge wear that keeps them out of gem mint territory even when they look sharp to the naked eye. Grading costs money and time regardless of the outcome, so it only makes sense if your copy is already centered well and free of visible flaws, otherwise you may want to sell or keep it raw and let someone else take that gamble.
How rare is Wailord?
As an illustration rare, Wailord sits in a tier that is intentionally harder to pull than your standard holo, which is part of why the price holds up even without huge population numbers to point to. What we can say is that PackSpy has tracked this card being pulled 200 or more times across the sites we monitor, which tells you it is out there in real numbers, just not falling out of every box. That kind of scarcity within the illustration rare tier is exactly what keeps raw copies at $16 stable and pushes graded gem mint copies toward that $192 mark, since demand for a clean copy always outpaces the clean copies actually available.
Where can you pull Wailord?
This is where PackSpy's live tracking actually earns its keep, because we have recorded Wailord being pulled across courtyard, tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $220. On the pack side, it has shown up in the Pokémon Starter Pack, the Pokemon Mini Pack, the Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it is not tied to one single product. If you are opening packs hoping to land a Wailord, just go in with clear eyes, most rips do not beat what you paid, and this card is a nice bonus rather than something to chase your budget around.
Questions people ask
How much is Wailord worth?+
A raw, ungraded Wailord from Journey Together sits around $16 right now. Grade it and get a 9, and it moves to $27, while a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $192, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Wailord worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 12.4 times the raw price of $16. But grading costs money upfront and gem mint copies are never guaranteed, so it is really only worth it if your copy already looks clean and well centered.
What set is Wailord from?+
Wailord #162 comes from the Journey Together set, released in 2025. It is an illustration rare, featuring artwork by Katsunori Sato.
