Xerneas #12 value & price
Related Xerneas & chase cards
Tap to open
Xerneas #12 comes from Celebrations, the 2021 set that Pokemon put out to mark 25 years of the franchise, and it is one of those cards that just feels good to pull thanks to Akira Egawa's artwork. As a Rare, it is not the rarest chase card in the set, but it still gets people asking what Xerneas is worth, and the honest answer is that it sits at a modest but real value depending on condition. Raw copies trade around $1, which tells you this is a card collectors chase more for the nostalgia and the art than for a big payday.

The collector's take on Xerneas
Is Xerneas worth grading?
Here is where it gets interesting. A raw Xerneas is worth $1, a Grade 9 climbs to $13, and a PSA 10 sits at $93, which works out to 66.6 times the raw price. That is a real jump, no question, but grading only pays off if the card actually comes back gem mint, and with only 2 copies graded in total across all grading companies, we simply do not have much data on how often this card hits a 10. Grading fees and shipping add up fast, and a card that comes back a 9 instead of a 10 might not even cover what you spent to send it in, so weigh the cost against how sharp your corners and centering really look before you commit.
How rare is Xerneas?
With just 2 graded copies known to exist, Xerneas is genuinely scarce in graded form, whether that is because collectors have not bothered submitting it or because clean copies are hard to come by. Either way, a population this small means every graded copy is something of an unknown quantity in the market, and it also means a single new PSA 10 submission could shift the picture. For now, scarcity at the top end is more about mystery than proven rarity, and that keeps the PSA 10 price sitting well above the raw card even without a deep sales history to back it up.
Where can you pull Xerneas?
PackSpy has tracked 74 pulls of this Xerneas across packs, Collector Crypt, and Courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $575, which shows just how much variance there is in what a single pull can bring depending on the copy and the moment. On the pack side, it has turned up in the Celebrations Pack itself along with several starter-themed products like the Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, and Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack. If you are opening packs hoping to land one, remember that pack odds are a gamble and most rips do not turn a profit, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan, and if you would rather skip the risk entirely, buying a known copy on the secondary market is the more predictable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Xerneas worth?+
A raw, ungraded Xerneas from Celebrations is worth around $1. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $13 and a PSA 10 reaching $93, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Xerneas worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. The PSA 10 price is 66.6 times the raw value, which sounds appealing, but with only 2 graded copies on record there is not much history to lean on, and grading fees can eat into any profit if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10.
What set is Xerneas from?+
Xerneas #12 is from Celebrations, the set Pokemon released in 2021 to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary. It is a Rare card illustrated by Akira Egawa.
