Banette (31): Rarity & Collectibility
Banette (31) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #31/108 of the XY - Roaring Skies 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 Banette (31)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Banette (31) (Rare, XY - Roaring Skies #31/108) changes hands at roughly $0.64, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.64, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.57. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.64, Lightly Played $0.46, Moderately Played $0.35, Heavily Played $0.37, Damaged $0.57 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
