Ivysaur: Rarity & Collectibility

Ivysaur in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #2/73 of the Shining Legends 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 Ivysaur?

In 2026, a Near Mint Ivysaur (Common, Shining Legends #2/73) changes hands at roughly $0.82, 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 $0.82, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.23. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.82, Lightly Played $0.60, Moderately Played $0.74, Heavily Played $0.99, Damaged $0.23 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ivysaur is valued near $23.38 — about 29x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Ivysaur: 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) Ivysaur sits around $23.38 — roughly 29x 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 $12.89, CGC 9.5 $12.01, PSA 8 $19.95 — 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 Ivysaur

As a Common, Ivysaur earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. 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 Ivysaur on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
