From 34 completed sales recorded between May 7, 2026 and Aug 6, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

The odds

Empoleon is a Rare in Majestic Dawn — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 20 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 30 packs.

PSA 10 (gem mint)0%0 of 16

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.

PSA 10$112.00$71+$3978.3×
PSA 9$100.00$71+$2869.9×

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.
