The odds
Darmanitan is a Rare in Emerging Powers — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 61.2% of the time, split across 21 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 34 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 | $45.17 | $70 | −$26 | 69.5× |
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. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates
Only 0% of 1 PSA-graded Darmanitan copies are a gem-mint 10 (0 of 1) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Darmanitan 10 is harder to pull.
