Erika's Ivysaur: Rarity & Collectibility
Erika's Ivysaur in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #041/132 of the Gym Challenge 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 Erika's Ivysaur?
In 2026, a Near Mint Erika's Ivysaur (Uncommon, Gym Challenge #041/132) changes hands at roughly $10.35, 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 $10.35, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.81. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.35, Lightly Played $7.12, Moderately Played $5.29, Heavily Played $3.73, Damaged $2.81 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Erika's Ivysaur is valued near $205.00 — about 20x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Erika's Ivysaur: 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) Erika's Ivysaur sits around $205.00 — roughly 20x 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 $27.00, CGC 10 $34.00, 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.
