Dodrio: Rarity & Collectibility
Dodrio 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 #117/162 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 Dodrio?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dodrio (Rare, XY - BREAKthrough #117/162) changes hands at roughly $0.72, 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 $0.72, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.11. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.72, Lightly Played $0.41, Moderately Played $0.30, Heavily Played $0.28, Damaged $0.11 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Dodrio is valued near $22.50 — about 31x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Dodrio: 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) Dodrio sits around $22.50 — roughly 31x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
