PSA has graded 84 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 11.9% of copies reach a 10, which is why the top price is the wrong number to plan around. Weighting each grade’s PSA price by these odds, a submission is worth $58.36£43.92€51.40 on average against $103.99£78.27€91.58 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $45.63£34.34€40.18, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Nidoking worth?
A PSA 10 Nidoking from XY - Steam Siege sells for $165.33. 12.0% of the copies PSA has graded came back a 10, so that price is the best case rather than the one a submission should expect.
Is Nidoking from XY - Steam Siege worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $61.12 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $4 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $42.87.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $165.33£124.44€145.60. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
