Metapod: Rarity & Collectibility
Metapod in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #4/108 of the XY - Evolutions 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 Metapod?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metapod (Uncommon, XY - Evolutions #4/108) changes hands at roughly $0.38, 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 $0.38, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.10. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.38, Lightly Played $0.35, Moderately Played $0.23, Heavily Played $0.22, Damaged $0.10 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Metapod is valued near $75.00 — about 197x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Metapod: 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) Metapod sits around $75.00 — roughly 197x 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 $14.50, CGC 10 $39.00, PSA 8 $9.51 — 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.
