Alakazam (No Rarity Symbol)Grading odds
PSA has graded 59 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 50.8% 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 $71.52£53.33€63.97 on average against $104.65£78.03€93.61 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $33.13£24.71€29.64, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 4 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

What is a PSA 10 Pupitar worth?
A PSA 10 Pupitar from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $103.25. 59.4% 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 Pupitar from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $76.35 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $4.66 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $28.30.
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 $103.25£76.99€92.36. 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.
