The odds

Rayquaza VMAX is a Secret / Rainbow in Evolving Skies — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 34 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 1,367 packs.

Secret / Rainbow2.5%34 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)74.5%4,407 of 5,916
PSA 918.4%1,086 of 5,916
PSA graded so far5,916
Gem Mint 104,407
Total graded5,916

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 5,916 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1074.5%$345.00
PSA 918.4%$115.00
PSA ≤87.2%$126.00

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 74% of 5,916 PSA-graded Rayquaza VMAX copies are a gem-mint 10 (4,407 of 5,916) — the rest grade lower.
