The odds

Magneton is a Holo / V / ex in Evolutions — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 25 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 90 packs.

Holo / V / ex27.9%25 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)0.3%9 of 3,327
PSA 956.1%1,866 of 3,327

Gem Mint 109
Total graded3,327

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 3,327 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 100.3%$92.00
PSA 956.1%$22.00
PSA ≤843.6%$2.00

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.
