Combusken: Rarity & Collectibility
Combusken in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #27/109 of the Ruby and Sapphire 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 Combusken?
In 2026, a Near Mint Combusken (Uncommon, Ruby and Sapphire #27/109) changes hands at roughly $15.11, 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 $15.11, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.11, Lightly Played $7.32, Moderately Played $4.34, Heavily Played $2.97, Damaged $1.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Combusken is valued near $449.95 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Combusken: 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) Combusken sits around $449.95 — roughly 30x 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 $37.55, CGC 9.5 $59.99, PSA 8 $31.00 — 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.
