Dark Blastoise (20): Rarity & Collectibility
Dark Blastoise (20) in its sought-after Unlimited variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #20/82 of the Team Rocket 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 Dark Blastoise (20)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dark Blastoise (20) (Rare, Team Rocket #20/82) changes hands at roughly $32.65, 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 $32.65, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $32.65, Lightly Played $19.02, Moderately Played $15.14, Heavily Played $9.32, Damaged $7.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
