Is Butterfree worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 29.9% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$25); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Butterfree is a Uncommoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.
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 | $97.00 | $71 | +$25 | 63.8× |
| PSA 9 | $29.00 | $70 | −$43 | 19.1× |
| PSA 8.5 | $8.00 | $70 | −$64 | 5.3× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 164 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 29.9% | $97.00 |
| PSA 9 | 46.3% | $29.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 23.8% | $3.00 |
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 30% of 165 PSA-graded Butterfree copies are a gem-mint 10 (50 of 165) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Butterfree 10 is harder to pull.

Evolves from Metapod.
If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. (Do the damage before switching the Pokémon.)
Remove a number of damage counters from Butterfree equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance) (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Butterfree has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
