Gholdengo ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Gholdengo 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 #252/182 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 Gholdengo ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Gholdengo ex (Ultra Rare, SV04: Paradox Rift #252/182) changes hands at roughly $28.97, 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 $28.97, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $19.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $28.97, Lightly Played $21.07, Moderately Played $20.73, Heavily Played $19.99, Damaged $19.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Gholdengo ex is valued near $145.00 — about 5.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Gholdengo ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Gholdengo ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Gholdengo ex sits around $145.00 — roughly 5.0x 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 $27.93, CGC 10 $80.00, CGC 9.5 $15.50 — 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.
