Lucario: Rarity & Collectibility
Lucario in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #174/091 of the SV: Paldean Fates 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 Lucario?
In 2026, a Near Mint Lucario (Rare, SV: Paldean Fates #174/091) changes hands at roughly $15.62, 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 $15.62, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.24. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.62, Lightly Played $13.71, Moderately Played $10.36, Heavily Played $4.00, Damaged $7.24 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lucario is valued near $74.00 — about 4.7x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Lucario: 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) Lucario sits around $74.00 — roughly 4.7x 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 $26.20, CGC 10 $120.00, CGC 9.5 $13.50 — 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.
