Dark Flareon: Rarity & Collectibility
Dark Flareon in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #35/82 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 Flareon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dark Flareon (Uncommon, Team Rocket #35/82) changes hands at roughly $6.88, 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 $6.88, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.40. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.88, Lightly Played $4.54, Moderately Played $3.41, Heavily Played $2.31, Damaged $1.40 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Dark Flareon is valued near $117.50 — about 17x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Dark Flareon: 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) Dark Flareon sits around $117.50 — roughly 17x 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 $59.99, CGC 10 $61.00, PSA 8 $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.
