Torkoal: Rarity & Collectibility
Torkoal is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #010/017 of the POP Series 1 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 Torkoal?
In 2026, a Near Mint Torkoal (Uncommon, POP Series 1 #010/017) changes hands at roughly $10.75, 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 $10.75, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.38. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.75, Lightly Played $7.11, Moderately Played $4.50, Heavily Played $6.00, Damaged $3.38 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Torkoal is valued near $199.99 — about 19x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Torkoal: 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) Torkoal sits around $199.99 — roughly 19x 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 $54.95, CGC 10 $20.50, CGC 9.5 $7.99 — 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.
