Answers about Snorlax #XY179 from XY Black Star Promos — live market value, pull rates, PSA grading returns and tournament legality.

Over the last 30 days, an ungraded Snorlax has moved down 0.6% to $25.02. PSA 10 copies are unchanged over the same period.

Snorlax #XY179 is a Promo, one of the higher rarity tiers in XY Black Star Promos.

At $25.02 raw, you need a PSA 10 to profit. A PSA 10 sells for $2,842.88, giving a net return of +$2,420.29 after grading costs and selling fees. PSA 9 returns +$190.67 and PSA 8 returns −$10.94, so a PSA 9 or 10 can profit, while anything below that loses money on this card.

PSA have graded 1,105 copies of Snorlax #XY179, of which 39 came back as PSA 10. That is a gem rate of 3.5%, or roughly 1 in 28 graded copies.
