Slugma (99): Rarity & Collectibility
Slugma (99) 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 #099/144 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 Slugma (99)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Slugma (99) (Common, Skyridge #099/144) changes hands at roughly $42.50, 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 $42.50, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $42.50, Lightly Played $22.49, Moderately Played $17.59, Heavily Played $8.99, Damaged $5.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Slugma (99) is valued near $325.00 — about 7.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Slugma (99): 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) Slugma (99) sits around $325.00 — roughly 7.6x 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 $99.00, CGC 10 $37.00, CGC 9.5 $44.99 — 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.
