The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

VerdictWorth grading

The odds

Plusle is a Holo / V / ex in Dragon — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 21 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 64 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%21 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)14.1%46 of 327
PSA 934.3%112 of 327
PSA graded so far327
Gem Mint 1046
Total graded327

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 327 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1014.1%$1,684.00
PSA 934.3%$380.00
PSA ≤851.7%$92.00

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 — every grade, with gem rates

Only 14% of 327 PSA-graded Plusle copies are a gem-mint 10 (46 of 327) — the rest grade lower.

Card textAttacks, abilities, weakness / resistance / retreat
Chain of EventsPoké-Body

As long as Plusle is your Active Pokémon, whenever your other Active Pokémon, if any, attacks, you may use Cheer On after the first attack (you still need the necessary Energy to use Cheer On). You can't use Cheer On more than once in this way even if your other Active Pokémon has the Chain of Events Poké-Body.

Remove 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon (including Plusle).
