Growlithe: Rarity & Collectibility
Growlithe in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #045/110 of the Legendary Collection 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 Growlithe?
In 2026, a Near Mint Growlithe (Uncommon, Legendary Collection #045/110) changes hands at roughly $124.00, 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 $124.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $34.32. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $124.00, Lightly Played $99.58, Moderately Played $46.33, Heavily Played $59.99, Damaged $34.32 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Growlithe is valued near $1,225 — about 9.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Growlithe: 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) Growlithe sits around $1,225 — roughly 9.9x 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 $542.00, CGC 10 $499.00, CGC 9.5 $47.00 — 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.
