Yveltal (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Yveltal (Japanese) 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 #117/190 of the S4a: Shiny Star V 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 Yveltal (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Yveltal (Japanese) (Ultra Rare, S4a: Shiny Star V #117/190) changes hands at roughly $0.83, 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 $0.83, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $0.76. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Yveltal (Japanese) is valued near $26.71 — about 32x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Yveltal (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Yveltal (Japanese), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Yveltal (Japanese) sits around $26.71 — roughly 32x 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 $22.89, CGC 10 $12.44, CGC 9.5 $9.09 — 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.
