Should you grade it?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 8.3% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case −$23); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Huntail is a Uncommoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.
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 | $48.81 | $70 | −$23 | 51.9× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 12 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 8.3% | $49.00 |
| PSA 9 | 41.7% | $20.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 50% | $1.00 |
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 8% of 12 PSA-graded Huntail copies are a gem-mint 10 (1 of 12) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Huntail 10 is harder to pull.

Card textAttacks, abilities, weakness / resistance / retreat
Evolves from Clamperl.
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack or retreat during your opponent's next turn.
If Huntail has any Darkness Energy attached to it, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage and discard a Special Energy card, if any, attached to the Defending Pokémon.
“It lives deep in the sea. With a tail shaped like a small fish, it attracts unsuspecting prey.”
