Skarmory: Rarity & Collectibility
Skarmory 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 #097/144 of the Skyridge 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 Skarmory?
In 2026, a Near Mint Skarmory (Common, Skyridge #097/144) changes hands at roughly $48.43, 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 $48.43, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.94. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $48.43, Lightly Played $35.00, Moderately Played $16.79, Heavily Played $3.64, Damaged $2.94 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Skarmory is valued near $241.00 — about 5.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Skarmory: 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) Skarmory sits around $241.00 — roughly 5.0x 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 $86.00, CGC 10 $65.00, PSA 8 $45.00 — 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.
