Donphan: Rarity & Collectibility
Donphan in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #40/123 of the HeartGold SoulSilver 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 Donphan?
In 2026, a Near Mint Donphan (Uncommon, HeartGold SoulSilver #40/123) changes hands at roughly $1.40, 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 $1.40, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.20. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.40, Lightly Played $0.98, Moderately Played $1.00, Heavily Played $0.50, Damaged $0.20 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
