The odds

Beedrill is a Rare in Base — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 16 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 24 packs.

Rare67%16 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)21.2%416 of 1,966

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.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 1,966 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1021.2%$157.00
PSA 935.1%$47.00
PSA ≤843.7%$6.00

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.
