Should you grade it?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 21.8% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case −$5); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Dark Magcargo is a Rare in Neo Destiny — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 19 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 28 packs.
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 | $69.50 | $71 | −$5 | 19.7× |
| PSA 9 | $26.50 | $70 | −$47 | 7.5× |
| PSA 8 | $19.50 | $70 | −$54 | 5.5× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 87 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 21.8% | $70.00 |
| PSA 9 | 36.8% | $27.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 41.4% | $4.00 |
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 22% of 87 PSA-graded Dark Magcargo copies are a gem-mint 10 (19 of 87) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Dark Magcargo 10 is harder to pull.

Evolves from Slugma.
As long as Dark Magcargo is your Active Pokémon, whenever a player puts a Baby Pokémon or Basic Pokémon onto his or her Bench from his or her hand, this power does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power stops working if Dark Magcargo is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
You may discard a Fire Energy card attached to Dark Magcargo when you use this attack. If you do and if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 20 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
