Absol - XY178: Rarity & Collectibility
Absol - XY178 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #XY178 of the XY Promos 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 Absol - XY178?
In 2026, a Near Mint Absol - XY178 (Common, XY Promos #XY178) changes hands at roughly $30.30, 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 $30.30, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $12.78. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $30.30, Lightly Played $22.00, Moderately Played $18.57, Heavily Played $10.33, Damaged $12.78 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
