Slowbro: Rarity & Collectibility
Slowbro in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #49/145 of the SM - Guardians Rising 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 Slowbro?
In 2026, a Near Mint Slowbro (Uncommon, SM - Guardians Rising #49/145) changes hands at roughly $0.88, 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 $0.88, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.24. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.88, Lightly Played $0.56, Moderately Played $0.36, Heavily Played $0.10, Damaged $0.24 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Slowbro is valued near $29.99 — about 34x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Slowbro: 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) Slowbro sits around $29.99 — 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 $49.99 — 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.
