Sold prices, not asking. Near Mint estimate from 8 completed sales of this exact card, each adjusted for the condition it sold in. A typical copy fetches about $10 because most that trade are played, not mint. Updated 6 September 2026. Estimate, not an appraisalhow we price →

Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$41.79+42%
Recent sold median 7 completed sales$12.00−59%

TCGplayer's figure is what sellers are asking on their marketplace, not what copies sold for — an asking price sits above a completed sale because it is the start of a negotiation, not the end of one. Our price comes from those same completed sales, adjusted to Near Mint — the median below mixes every condition together, and most copies that change hands are played rather than mint.

Is Skarmory-EX worth grading?

$24

Raw $29.50 → graded PSA 9$76.56, after ~$70.76 grading fee → 2.6× the raw value.

The odds

Skarmory-EX is a Ultra Rare in XY — the pack's hit slot lands on Ultra Rare 10.2% of the time, split across 6 ultra rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 59 packs.

Ultra Rare10.2%6 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)2.1%6 of 281
PSA 931%87 of 281
PSA graded so far281
Gem Mint 106
Total graded281

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

PSA 9$76.56$71$242.6×
PSA 8$53.00$71$471.8×

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 2% of 281 PSA-graded Skarmory-EX copies are a gem-mint 10 (6 of 281) — the rest grade lower.

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 6 slab of this card sells for about $25 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
