Iono: Rarity & Collectibility
Iono 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 #269/193 of the SV02: Paldea Evolved 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 Iono?
In 2026, a Near Mint Iono (Ultra Rare, SV02: Paldea Evolved #269/193) changes hands at roughly $53.64, 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 $53.64, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $37.09. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $53.64, Lightly Played $46.07, Moderately Played $42.37, Heavily Played $41.28, Damaged $37.09 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Iono is valued near $146.63 — about 2.7x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Iono: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Iono, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Iono sits around $146.63 — roughly 2.7x 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 $59.97, CGC 10 $99.99, CGC 9.5 $40.37 — 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.
