Slowking ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Slowking ex 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 #086/193 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 Slowking ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Slowking ex (Rare, SV02: Paldea Evolved #086/193) changes hands at roughly $1.07, 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 $1.07, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.07, Lightly Played $0.94, Moderately Played $0.86, Heavily Played $0.59, Damaged $1.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Slowking ex is valued near $65.25 — about 61x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Slowking ex: 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) Slowking ex sits around $65.25 — roughly 61x 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 $8.00, CGC 10 $11.75, CGC 9.5 $9.99 — 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.
