Mightyena: Rarity & Collectibility
Mightyena in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #096/189 of the SWSH10: Astral 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 Mightyena?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mightyena (Rare, SWSH10: Astral #096/189) changes hands at roughly $0.19, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.19, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.16. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.19, Lightly Played $0.24, Moderately Played $0.16 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mightyena is valued near $55.00 — about 289x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mightyena: 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) Mightyena sits around $55.00 — roughly 289x 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 $20.00 — 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.
