The odds

Charizard ex is a Secret / Rainbow in Paldean Fates — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 14 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 563 packs.

Secret / Rainbow2.5%14 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)41.1%16,123 of 39,269
PSA 946.6%18,289 of 39,269
PSA graded so far39,269
Gem Mint 1016,123
Total graded39,269

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 39,269 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1041.1%$889.00
PSA 946.6%$300.00
PSA ≤812.4%$295.00

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
