Torkoal: Rarity & Collectibility
Torkoal 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 #172/167 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 Torkoal?
In 2026, a Near Mint Torkoal (Ultra Rare, SV06: Twilight Masquerade #172/167) changes hands at roughly $4.22, 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 $4.22, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.83. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.22, Lightly Played $3.18, Moderately Played $3.32, Heavily Played $2.99, Damaged $1.83 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Torkoal is valued near $60.00 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Torkoal: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Torkoal, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Torkoal sits around $60.00 — roughly 14x 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 $15.50, CGC 10 $10.50, CGC 9.5 $25.00 — 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.
