Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #033/171 of the SM: The Best of XY 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 Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese) (Common, SM: The Best of XY #033/171) changes hands at roughly $38.00, 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 $38.00, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $29.38. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese) is valued near $120.57 — about 3.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese): 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) Raikou (Mirror Holofoil) (Japanese) sits around $120.57 — roughly 3.2x 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 10 $29.99, BGS 9.5 $78.35 — 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.
