Basculin: Rarity & Collectibility

Basculin in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #30/99 of the Next Destinies 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 Basculin?

In 2026, a Near Mint Basculin (Uncommon, Next Destinies #30/99) changes hands at roughly $0.67, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors.

Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.67, Lightly Played $0.41, Moderately Played $0.43, Heavily Played $0.18, Damaged $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
