Metagross: Rarity & Collectibility
Metagross 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 #95/168 of the SM - Celestial Storm 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 Metagross?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metagross (Holo Rare, SM - Celestial Storm #95/168) changes hands at roughly $1.19, 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 $1.19, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.90. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.19, Lightly Played $0.80, Moderately Played $0.90, Heavily Played $0.50, Damaged $0.90 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Metagross is valued near $40.00 — about 34x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Metagross: 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) Metagross sits around $40.00 — roughly 34x 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 $30.00, PSA 8 $3.00 — 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.
