The odds

Politoed is a Holo / V / ex in Neo Discovery — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 17 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 52 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%17 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)1.5%20 of 1,296
PSA 920.8%269 of 1,296
PSA graded so far1,296
Gem Mint 1020
Total graded1,296

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 1,296 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 101.5%$987.00
PSA 920.8%$250.00
PSA ≤877.7%$73.00

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 2% of 1,296 PSA-graded Politoed copies are a gem-mint 10 (20 of 1,296) — the rest grade lower.

Frog SongPokémon Power

Whenever Politoed's attack damages the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), if there are more than 3 Poliwags, Poliwhirls, Poliwraths, and/or Politoeds in play (including your opponent's), that attack does 40 more damage (no matter how many heads you get). This power stops working while Politoed is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
