Electrode: Rarity & Collectibility
Electrode in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #45/146 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 Electrode?
In 2026, a Near Mint Electrode (Uncommon, XY Base Set #45/146) changes hands at roughly $0.62, 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 $0.62, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.24. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.62, Lightly Played $0.45, Moderately Played $0.23, Heavily Played $0.36, Damaged $0.24 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
