Alt-art Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX #205 and Greninja & Zoroark-GX #201 are the best Unbroken Bonds cards to grade for PSA 10. Pack-fresh rainbow Reshiram & Charizard-GX #217 and base Lucario & Melmetal-GX #120 are also worth grading when they look flawless. Grading means a service checks authenticity and scores condition from 1 to 10, with 10 as gem mint.
TAG TEAM GX means two Pokemon share one card. The Pokemon Company International released Sun and Moon Unbroken Bonds worldwide on May 3, 2019, according to its press site. Its press site lists over 210 cards and seven TAG TEAM GX.

Why alternate arts lead
Fanatics Collect reports an alternate-art Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX #205 PSA 10 sold for $3,600 with buyer's premium on Oct. 5, 2026 Fanatics Collect sale record. The auction drew 13 bids.
That bidding depth makes clean copies the set's top grading target. Sports Card Investor tracked Greninja & Zoroark-GX alternate-art #201/214 PSA 10 at about $1.53K average, per its June-July 2026 data Sports Card Investor price history. Those Sports Card Investor records show recent sales at $1.75K to $1.77K. PSA data put the estimate at $1,587 with 1,460 PSA 10 copies.
Does rainbow Charizard still pay?
CardCodex calculates rainbow Reshiram & Charizard-GX #217/214 at $234.64 raw and $695.72 in PSA 10 CardCodex value breakdown. Raw means ungraded. Its model leaves about +$342 net after fees for a PSA 10. That CardCodex model shows PSA 9 loses about $103, so only a likely 10 should go.
PokeInsider reported Sept. 11, 2026 about 4,143 graded copies with 1,651 PSA 10s. That PokeInsider report listed raw at $225.44, PSA 10 at $653.95 to $713.24 and PSA 9 at $178 to $233. PokeInsider notes rainbow rarity retired since 2023, which supports collector interest.
Which mid-tier TAG TEAM still works?
PSA certification data values Lucario & Melmetal-GX base Ultra #120 PSA 10 at about $203 to $215. That PSA data shows population near 1,400. It suits collectors who cannot chase alt-arts but want a TAG TEAM slab.
It sells well below the alt-arts, so condition matters more. Submit only centered copies with clean edges and no print defects. Use it to round out a set run rather than as a flip.
When should you skip grading?
Sports Collectors Daily reporting on PSA's September 2026 menu lists Standard at $59.99, Priority at $79.99 and Express at $199 Sports Collectors Daily PSA menu report. Those menu details list turnarounds at 20 to 100 business days. Fees erase gains on average copies, especially at Express.
CardCodex reports only a 39.5% gem rate on rainbow Charizard, so pre-screen centering, corners and print. Skip grading when you see these issues. Send only pack-fresh copies with near-perfect centering and clean surfaces. Keep marginal copies raw and sell them ungraded.
- Off-center borders front or back
- Soft corners or white edge wear
- Print lines, scratches or surface haze
