Beedrill: Rarity & Collectibility

Beedrill 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 #5/146 of the XY Base Set 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 Beedrill?

In 2026, a Near Mint Beedrill (Rare, XY Base Set #5/146) changes hands at roughly $1.40, 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 $1.40, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.46. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.40, Lightly Played $0.61, Moderately Played $0.63, Heavily Played $0.50, Damaged $0.46 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
