Grovyle: Rarity & Collectibility
Grovyle in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #28/106 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 Grovyle?
In 2026, a Near Mint Grovyle (Uncommon, Emerald #28/106) changes hands at roughly $75.00, 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 $75.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $9.28. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $75.00, Lightly Played $20.48, Moderately Played $17.38, Heavily Played $0.57, Damaged $9.28 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Grovyle is valued near $978.00 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Grovyle: 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) Grovyle sits around $978.00 — roughly 13x 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 $142.50, CGC 10 $80.00, CGC 9.5 $69.88 — 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.
