Cyndaquil: Rarity & Collectibility
Cyndaquil in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #18/162 of the XY - BREAKthrough 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 Cyndaquil?
In 2026, a Near Mint Cyndaquil (Common, XY - BREAKthrough #18/162) changes hands at roughly $2.79, 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 $2.79, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.79. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.79, Lightly Played $2.63, Moderately Played $1.26, Heavily Played $1.08, Damaged $0.79 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
