Best Paldean Fates Chase Cards and Current Values

By TCG Emporium Editorial Team · Published 18 October 2026 · Updated 18 October 2026

Mew ex 232/091 is the Paldean Fates chase card, and it sits well above the rest. Four raw sales on 16 October put it at about £574, though they ran from £112 to £814, so that figure is a rough guide only. The second card, Charizard ex 234/091, comes to about £186 on four sales of its own.

All figures are English, single-card eBay completed sales from 12 to 17 October 2026, converted at £0.7499 to the dollar (16 October 2026). Where a card has only four or five sales we show the middle figure and the sale count rather than a range. Last checked 18 October 2026.

Mew ex 232/091

The shiny blue Mew at the top of the set. USGMEN draws Mew as a soft, flat-coloured figure curled inside a bubble, with a grassy hill and a pond below and small Pokémon dotted around the edges. It is a gentler, more storybook card than the other two at the top.

There were only four raw sales, all on 16 October, and they ran from £112 to £814. Four sales spread this wide make about £574 a rough guide only, and a fifth sale could move it a long way. Check recent listings of your own before paying anything near that figure.

Graded copies are plentiful. PSA has graded more than 16,000 at 10, and PSA 10 sales have a median of £2,250, about four times the raw figure. With a population that deep, a 10 is not scarce.

Charizard ex 234/091

The dark one. AKIRA EGAWA shows a black Tera Charizard with its wings spread against shards of red, pink and purple, which is why it stands out in a binder beside the paler cards in this set.

Four raw sales between 15 and 16 October ran from £151 to £217, which gives about £186. That is thin evidence, so read it as a rough guide too. A PSA 10 has a median of £578, around three times a raw copy, and over 16,000 copies hold that grade.

Gardevoir ex 233/091

The best-evidenced card in the top three. Kuroimori sets Gardevoir in a blue-green forest glade, arms raised, white gown streaming out behind. It is the only one of the three special illustration rares with seven raw sales behind it, between 15 and 17 October, which ran from £78 to £112 once the single highest and lowest were set aside.

A PSA 10 has a median of £281, under three times a raw copy. Over 9,500 have been graded 10.

Pikachu 131/091, the grading outlier

Raw, Pikachu 131/091 sells for £43 to £63. A PSA 10 has a median of £525, about ten times a raw copy. For a card with a PSA 10 population of 1,294, that is a wide gap.

That gap tells you a flawless copy is worth far more than an ordinary one. It does not tell you that grading one will pay. Fees, postage both ways and the chance of a 9 rather than a 10 all come off the top. Our UK grading guide walks through those costs.

Further down the list

  • Snorlax 202/091 by Shigenori Negishi shows Snorlax mid-leap with its arms in the air, and sells for £34 to £43 raw. A PSA 10 has a median of £265, around seven times a raw copy.
  • Ditto 201/091 by 0313 is a smiling blue Ditto, raw £24 to £42. Its PSA 10 median of £319 is about ten times the raw middle, much like Pikachu above.
  • Mew ex 216/091 by aky CG Works is the Shiny Ultra Rare Mew, a full-art Mew against a field of sparkles, at £26 to £31 raw. It is the second Mew ex in the table.
  • Mimikyu 160/091 by Nelnal sells for £28 to £41 raw.
  • Charmander 109/091 by sowsow sells for £27 to £30 raw.
  • Iono 237/091 by hanabushi is the fourth Special Illustration Rare in the table, at £15 to £21 raw.

How we priced these cards

We read the most recent raw eBay completed sales for each card, up to ten, from CardTrack's sold-sales ledger, which covers the UK, US and other eBay sites. With six or more sales we drop the single highest and lowest, then quote the range of the rest. With four or five sales we quote the middle figure and say how many sales it rests on, and a card with fewer than four is left out. Dollars are converted at £0.7499 (16 October 2026).

PSA 10 figures are the median of PSA 10 completed sales, shown only where at least 500 copies hold that grade. The population figures are PSA's own counts as recorded in the ledger. The full method is in our guide on how to value Pokémon cards.

A note on pull rates

We do not publish pull rates for Paldean Fates. There are no official odds, and community estimates vary with sample size and product. Our guide to pull rates explains why.

Collector notes

  • Two cards called Mew ex. 232 is the Special Illustration Rare and 216 the Shiny Ultra Rare. Their recent sold prices are far apart, and the number is the only quick way to tell which one a listing means.
  • Five of the ten cards are Shiny Rares. Pikachu, Snorlax, Mimikyu, Ditto and Charmander share the same sparkle-and-star artwork frame. Our rarity symbols guide explains how the rarity names map to the marks on the card.
  • The top two figures are thin. Mew ex 232 and Charizard ex 234 have four raw sales each, so a single odd sale moves them. Compare several current listings before you pay near either.
  • Mimikyu shows dashes for PSA 10. Its PSA 10 population is 498, just under the 500 we need before quoting a PSA 10 figure.
  • One illustrator, two cards. Shigenori Negishi drew Snorlax 202 and also Maushold 210, which sits just outside this table.
  • Finish matters when comparing listings. Our guide to holo and reverse holo cards shows how finishes differ.
