Dragonite: Rarity & Collectibility
Dragonite in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #5/20 of the Dragon Vault 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 Dragonite?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dragonite (Holo Rare, Dragon Vault #5/20) changes hands at roughly $15.80, 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 $15.80, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.65. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.80, Lightly Played $11.20, Moderately Played $5.43, Heavily Played $2.98, Damaged $2.65 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Dragonite is valued near $987.41 — about 62x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Dragonite: 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) Dragonite sits around $987.41 — roughly 62x 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 $63.84, CGC 10 $162.50, CGC 9.5 $51.00 — 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.
