Metapod: Rarity & Collectibility
Metapod in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #2/147 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 Metapod?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metapod (Uncommon, SM - Burning Shadows #2/147) changes hands at roughly $0.26, 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 $0.26, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.11. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.26, Lightly Played $0.19, Moderately Played $0.29, Heavily Played $0.11 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
