Flareon: Rarity & Collectibility
Flareon in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #12/108 of the Dark Explorers 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 Flareon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Flareon (Uncommon, Dark Explorers #12/108) changes hands at roughly $15.31, 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 $15.31, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.26. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.31, Lightly Played $8.82, Moderately Played $7.61, Heavily Played $5.40, Damaged $1.26 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Flareon is valued near $300.00 — about 20x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Flareon: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Flareon sits around $300.00 — roughly 20x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $100.00, PSA 8 $39.99 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
