Is Swalot worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 4.3% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$21); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Swalot is a Holo / V / ex in Arceus — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 18 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 55 packs.
Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | $96.47 | $71 | +$21 | 23.4× |
| PSA 9 | $28.84 | $70 | −$46 | 7.0× |
| PSA 8 | $10.06 | $70 | −$64 | 2.4× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 94 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 4.3% | $96.00 |
| PSA 9 | 41.5% | $29.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 54.3% | $9.00 |
Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates
Only 4% of 96 PSA-graded Swalot copies are a gem-mint 10 (4 of 96) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Swalot 10 is harder to pull.

Card textAttacks, abilities, weakness / resistance / retreat
Evolves from Gulpin.
Put damage counters on the Defending Pokémon until the Defending Pokémon has the same remaining HP as Swalot. (If the Defending Pokémon has the same or less remaining HP as Swalot, this attack does nothing.)
You may do 50 damage plus 30 more damage. If you do, this attack does 30 damage to 1 of your Pokémon, and don't apply Weakness and Resistance to this damage.
