Team Skull Grunt: Rarity & Collectibility

Team Skull Grunt in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #133/149 of the SM Base Set 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 Team Skull Grunt?

In 2026, a Near Mint Team Skull Grunt (Uncommon, SM Base Set #133/149) changes hands at roughly $0.26, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors.

Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.26, Lightly Played $0.23, Moderately Played $0.14, Heavily Played $0.10, Damaged $0.07 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
