Chimecho: Rarity & Collectibility
Chimecho 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 #179/167 of the SV06: Twilight Masquerade 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 Chimecho?
In 2026, a Near Mint Chimecho (Ultra Rare, SV06: Twilight Masquerade #179/167) changes hands at roughly $4.59, 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 $4.59, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $4.40. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.59, Lightly Played $3.26, Moderately Played $3.14, Heavily Played $1.90, Damaged $4.40 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Chimecho is valued near $36.00 — about 7.8x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Chimecho: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Chimecho, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Chimecho sits around $36.00 — roughly 7.8x 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 $17.40, CGC 10 $13.50, CGC 9.5 $8.50 — 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.
