Clauncher: Rarity & Collectibility
Clauncher in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #205/198 of the SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set 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 Clauncher?
In 2026, a Near Mint Clauncher (Ultra Rare, SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set #205/198) changes hands at roughly $6.26, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $6.26, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.23. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.26, Lightly Played $4.93, Moderately Played $4.33, Heavily Played $1.50, Damaged $2.23 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Clauncher is valued near $175.00 — about 28x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Clauncher: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Clauncher, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Clauncher sits around $175.00 — roughly 28x 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 $12.21, CGC 10 $39.99, PSA 8 $9.00 — 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.
