Metapod: Rarity & Collectibility
Metapod in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #46/123 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 Metapod?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metapod (Uncommon, HeartGold SoulSilver #46/123) changes hands at roughly $7.07, 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 $7.07, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.45. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.07, Lightly Played $3.77, Moderately Played $1.90, Heavily Played $1.25, Damaged $0.45 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
