Flareon: Rarity & Collectibility
Flareon in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #13/98 of the XY - Ancient Origins 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?
In 2026, a Near Mint Flareon (Uncommon, XY - Ancient Origins #13/98) changes hands at roughly $2.58, 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 $2.58, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.39. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.58, Lightly Played $1.60, Moderately Played $0.95, Heavily Played $0.53, Damaged $0.39 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Flareon is valued near $227.50 — about 88x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded 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) Flareon sits around $227.50 — roughly 88x 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 $47.99, PSA 8 $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.
