Slowking ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Slowking ex 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 #238/193 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 (Ultra Rare, SV02: Paldea Evolved #238/193) changes hands at roughly $4.26, 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 $4.26, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.26, Lightly Played $3.40, Moderately Played $3.21, Heavily Played $2.85, Damaged $1.99 — 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 $98.85 — about 23x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Slowking ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Slowking ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Slowking ex sits around $98.85 — roughly 23x 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 $16.00, CGC 10 $25.00, BGS 9.5 $22.50 — 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.
