Garchomp ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Garchomp 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 #245/182 of the SV04: Paradox Rift 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 Garchomp ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Garchomp ex (Ultra Rare, SV04: Paradox Rift #245/182) changes hands at roughly $29.73, 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 $29.73, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $16.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $29.73, Lightly Played $24.01, Moderately Played $23.11, Heavily Played $30.00, Damaged $16.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Garchomp ex is valued near $155.00 — about 5.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Garchomp ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Garchomp ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Garchomp ex sits around $155.00 — roughly 5.2x 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 $41.00, CGC 10 $74.00, CGC 9.5 $26.10 — 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.
