The odds

Lt. Surge's Electabuzz is a Rare in Gym Heroes — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 23 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 34 packs.

Rare67%23 cards

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 200 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1014.5%$115.00
PSA 935%$40.00
PSA ≤850.5%$14.00

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.
