The odds
Volcanion is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.
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 8 | $31.86 | $70 | −$43 | 7.4× |
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.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates
Only 5% of 19 PSA-graded Volcanion copies are a gem-mint 10 (1 of 19) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Volcanion 10 is harder to pull.

Card textAttacks, abilities, weakness / resistance / retreat
Search your deck for a Fire Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. If you go second and it's your first turn, instead search for up to 3 Fire Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck.
If you have at least 4 Fire Energy in play, this attack does 60 more damage.
