The odds

Team Rocket's Nidoking ex is a Ultra Rare in Destined Rivals — the pack's hit slot lands on Ultra Rare 10% of the time, split across 45 ultra rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 452 packs.

Ultra Rare10%45 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)64.6%2,220 of 3,436
PSA 930.6%1,053 of 3,436

Gem Mint 102,220
Total graded3,436

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 3,199 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1064.5%$57.00
PSA 930.7%$20.00
PSA ≤84.8%$12.00

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

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote.
