Tropius: Rarity & Collectibility

Tropius in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #5/101 of the Plasma Blast 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 Tropius?

In 2026, a Near Mint Tropius (Uncommon, Plasma Blast #5/101) changes hands at roughly $1.14, 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 $1.14, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.23. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.14, Lightly Played $0.44, Moderately Played $0.30, Heavily Played $0.15, Damaged $0.23 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
