Tap to open
Yveltal is one of those cards that just feels important the moment you see it, a legendary Pokemon rendered in that striking Red Flash style, and this 1st Edition #42 printing carries the extra weight of being an early run from the set. If you're checking Yveltal value right now, the short answer is that it trades modestly raw but climbs fast once it's graded, which is exactly the kind of card collectors keep an eye on. It's not a card that dominates headlines, but for anyone chasing 1st edition Japanese cards, it's a quietly satisfying one to own.

The collector's take on Yveltal
Is Yveltal worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Yveltal sits at $4, while a PSA 10 sells for $53, which works out to 13.3 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and on paper it looks tempting to send every copy you own straight to grading. But gem mint is genuinely hard to land, especially on 1st edition cards where print lines and centering issues are common, and grading fees plus the wait time eat into your margin fast. If your copy already looks sharp under a light, corners clean and centering tight, it's worth considering. If it's got any soft edges or print roughness, you're better off holding it raw or selling it as is rather than gambling on a Grade 9 result that only fetches $17.
How rare is Yveltal?
Only 8 copies of this card have been graded in total, and 6 of those are PSA 10. That's a tiny population by any measure, and it tells you two things: first, that this card doesn't get submitted for grading very often, and second, that when it is submitted, it tends to grade well. That combination keeps the PSA 10 price elevated relative to the raw card, since gem mint copies are scarce enough that anyone chasing a top grade Yveltal for their collection has very few options to choose from.
Where can you pull Yveltal?
We've tracked 91 recorded pulls of this Yveltal across lastpack, collector-crypt, and courtyard, so it does show up if you're opening the right packs, think noobie, the Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokemon Pro Pack, and plain old starter packs. The biggest single pull we've logged came in at $275, which shows how much variance there can be depending on the condition and buyer demand at the moment it hits the market. Just remember that pulling from packs is a gamble in the truest sense, most rips don't come close to that number, so if you're specifically hunting Yveltal, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is usually the steadier route.
Questions people ask
How much is Yveltal worth?+
A raw, ungraded Yveltal 1st Edition #42 is valued at $4. Grade it and the number changes quickly: a Grade 9 brings $17, and a PSA 10 sells for $53, which is 13.3 times the raw price.
Is Yveltal worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 is worth 13.3x the raw card, but gem mint copies are rare, only 6 of the 8 total graded copies have hit that top grade. If your card looks clean and well centered it's worth a shot, but grading costs and turnaround time mean it's not a guaranteed win.
Why is the Yveltal 1st Edition #42 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st edition printings are typically produced in smaller numbers and released before the standard run, which makes them more sought after by collectors who care about print history. That added scarcity and desirability tends to push value above what you'd see on a later, standard printing of the same card.
