Grovyle (38): Rarity & Collectibility
Grovyle (38) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #38/99 of the Arceus 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 Grovyle (38)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Grovyle (38) (Uncommon, Arceus #38/99) changes hands at roughly $1.67, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.67, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.67, Lightly Played $0.80, Moderately Played $0.92, Heavily Played $0.99, Damaged $1.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
