Dusknoir: Rarity & Collectibility
Dusknoir in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #53/147 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 Dusknoir?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dusknoir (Holo Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #53/147) changes hands at roughly $0.30, 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 $0.30, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.05. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.30, Lightly Played $0.34, Moderately Played $0.28, Heavily Played $0.31, Damaged $0.05 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
