Nidoking (24): Rarity & Collectibility
Nidoking (24) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #024/147 of the Aquapolis set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Nidoking (24)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nidoking (24) (Rare, Aquapolis #024/147) changes hands at roughly $35.00, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $35.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $18.52. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $35.00, Lightly Played $69.00, Moderately Played $24.75, Heavily Played $13.49, Damaged $18.52 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
