Empoleon: Rarity & Collectibility
Empoleon in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #4/130 of the Diamond and Pearl 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 Empoleon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Empoleon (Holo Rare, Diamond and Pearl #4/130) changes hands at roughly $11.44, 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 $11.44, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $11.44, Lightly Played $5.49, Moderately Played $3.40, Heavily Played $1.68, Damaged $1.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
