Groudon: Rarity & Collectibility
Groudon in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #049/131 of the SV: Prismatic Evolutions 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 Groudon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Groudon (Rare, SV: Prismatic Evolutions #049/131) changes hands at roughly $0.16, 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 $0.16, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $0.14. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Groudon is valued near $49.99 — about 312x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Groudon: 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) Groudon sits around $49.99 — roughly 312x 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 $8.50 — 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.
