Swellow: Rarity & Collectibility
Swellow in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #41/106 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 Swellow?
In 2026, a Near Mint Swellow (Uncommon, Emerald #41/106) changes hands at roughly $9.99, 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 $9.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.99, Lightly Played $10.40, Moderately Played $7.99, Heavily Played $3.44, Damaged $3.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
