Darkrai GX: Rarity & Collectibility
Darkrai GX in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #88/147 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 Darkrai GX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Darkrai GX (Ultra Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #88/147) changes hands at roughly $5.04, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $5.04, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.65. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.04, Lightly Played $3.43, Moderately Played $2.93, Heavily Played $1.78, Damaged $1.65 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Darkrai GX is valued near $125.00 — about 25x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Darkrai GX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Darkrai GX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Darkrai GX sits around $125.00 — roughly 25x 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 $24.50, CGC 9.5 $9.50, PSA 8 $14.50 — 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.
