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 #054/110 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 Metapod?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metapod (Uncommon, Legendary Collection #054/110) changes hands at roughly $1.91, 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 $1.91, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $24.74. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.91, Lightly Played $61.15, Moderately Played $40.13, Heavily Played $34.33, Damaged $24.74 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Metapod is valued near $564.39 — about 295x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Metapod: 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) Metapod sits around $564.39 — roughly 295x 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 $243.50, CGC 10 $227.75, CGC 9.5 $105.02 — 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.
