Araquanid: Rarity & Collectibility
Araquanid in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #15/147 of the SM - Burning Shadows 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 Araquanid?
In 2026, a Near Mint Araquanid (Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #15/147) changes hands at roughly $0.29, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.29, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.13. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.29, Lightly Played $0.28, Moderately Played $0.24, Damaged $0.13 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
