Basculin: Rarity & Collectibility

Basculin in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #35/114 of the Black and White 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 Basculin?

In 2026, a Near Mint Basculin (Uncommon, Black and White #35/114) changes hands at roughly $1.42, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors.

Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.42, Lightly Played $1.11, Moderately Played $0.45, Heavily Played $0.40, Damaged $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
