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 #2/106 of the XY - Flashfire 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 - Flashfire #2/106) changes hands at roughly $1.29, 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 $1.29, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.29, Lightly Played $0.47, Moderately Played $0.17, Heavily Played $0.38, Damaged $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
