Shaymin EX: Rarity & Collectibility
Shaymin EX 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 #XY148 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 Shaymin EX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Shaymin EX (Common, XY Promos #XY148) changes hands at roughly $58.57, 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 $58.57, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $22.76. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $58.57, Lightly Played $39.31, Moderately Played $29.80, Heavily Played $23.07, Damaged $22.76 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Shaymin EX is valued near $4,813 — about 82x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Shaymin EX: 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) Shaymin EX sits around $4,813 — roughly 82x 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 $184.99, PSA 8 $80.00 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Shaymin EX
