Ho-Oh ex (Holo): Rarity & Collectibility
Ho-Oh ex (Holo) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #017/017 of the POP Series 3 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 Ho-Oh ex (Holo)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ho-Oh ex (Holo) (Ultra Rare, POP Series 3 #017/017) changes hands at roughly $199.99, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $199.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $41.59. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $199.99, Lightly Played $165.00, Moderately Played $59.73, Heavily Played $47.03, Damaged $41.59 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
