Golisopod GX: Rarity & Collectibility
Golisopod 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 #17/147 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 Golisopod GX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Golisopod GX (Ultra Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #17/147) changes hands at roughly $1.28, 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 $1.28, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.71. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.28, Lightly Played $1.41, Moderately Played $1.11, Heavily Played $0.98, Damaged $0.71 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Golisopod GX is valued near $59.99 — about 47x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Golisopod GX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Golisopod GX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Golisopod GX sits around $59.99 — roughly 47x 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 $17.00, PSA 8 $9.61 — 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.
