Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #021/187 of the SV8a: Terastal Fest ex 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 Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese) (Common, SV8a: Terastal Fest ex #021/187) changes hands at roughly $11.79, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $11.79, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $12.07. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese) is valued near $36.00 — about 3.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Flareon (Master Ball Pattern) (Japanese) sits around $36.00 — roughly 3.1x 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 $11.74, CGC 10 $10.50, BGS 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.
