Pidgeot ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Pidgeot 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 #217/197 of the SV03: Obsidian Flames 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 Pidgeot ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Pidgeot ex (Ultra Rare, SV03: Obsidian Flames #217/197) changes hands at roughly $2.56, 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 $2.56, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.96. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.56, Lightly Played $2.23, Moderately Played $2.40, Heavily Played $1.65, Damaged $1.96 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pidgeot ex is valued near $59.99 — about 23x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Pidgeot ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Pidgeot ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Pidgeot ex sits around $59.99 — 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 $23.80, CGC 10 $23.00, CGC 9.5 $11.50 — 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.
