Wailord EX: Rarity & Collectibility
Wailord EX in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #38/160 of the XY - Primal Clash 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 Wailord EX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wailord EX (Ultra Rare, XY - Primal Clash #38/160) changes hands at roughly $4.10, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $4.10, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.77. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.10, Lightly Played $3.03, Moderately Played $2.94, Heavily Played $1.59, Damaged $1.77 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Wailord EX is valued near $124.99 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Wailord EX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Wailord EX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Wailord EX sits around $124.99 — roughly 30x 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 $50.00, PSA 8 $21.99 — 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.
