Electrode: Rarity & Collectibility
Electrode in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #27/106 of the Emerald 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 Electrode?
In 2026, a Near Mint Electrode (Uncommon, Emerald #27/106) changes hands at roughly $23.65, 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 $23.65, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $23.65, Lightly Played $26.71, Moderately Played $18.88, Heavily Played $8.05, Damaged $3.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Electrode is valued near $153.69 — about 6.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Electrode: 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) Electrode sits around $153.69 — roughly 6.5x 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 $65.00, CGC 10 $125.00, CGC 9.5 $20.00 — 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.
