Azumarill: Rarity & Collectibility
Azumarill 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 #35/147 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 Azumarill?
In 2026, a Near Mint Azumarill (Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #35/147) changes hands at roughly $0.35, 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 $0.35, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.53. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.35, Lightly Played $0.40, Moderately Played $0.29, Heavily Played $0.53 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Azumarill is valued near $60.00 — about 171x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Azumarill: 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) Azumarill sits around $60.00 — roughly 171x 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 $28.00, CGC 9.5 $7.50 — 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.
