Yveltal: Rarity & Collectibility
Yveltal 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 #046/072 of the Shining Fates 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?
In 2026, a Near Mint Yveltal (Ultra Rare, Shining Fates #046/072) changes hands at roughly $1.70, 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 $1.70, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.70. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.70, Lightly Played $1.21, Moderately Played $1.02, Heavily Played $0.49, Damaged $0.70 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Yveltal is valued near $45.00 — about 26x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Yveltal: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Yveltal, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Yveltal sits around $45.00 — roughly 26x 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 $13.61, CGC 10 $60.00, CGC 9.5 $3.25 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Yveltal
As an Ultra Rare, Yveltal carries genuine chase status — exactly the card whose pull keeps a set desirable for years. Collect it for completeness and the joy of the hunt; its appeal is the set, not the ceiling. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Yveltal on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
