Nidoking: Rarity & Collectibility
Nidoking in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #58/116 of the Plasma Freeze 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 Nidoking?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nidoking (Rare, Plasma Freeze #58/116) changes hands at roughly $8.55, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $8.55, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.54. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $8.55, Lightly Played $5.86, Moderately Played $3.70, Heavily Played $0.60, Damaged $1.54 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
