Nidorino: Rarity & Collectibility
Nidorino in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #44/114 of the XY - Steam Siege 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 Nidorino?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nidorino (Uncommon, XY - Steam Siege #44/114) changes hands at roughly $0.54, 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 $0.54, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.35. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.54, Lightly Played $0.44, Moderately Played $0.21, Heavily Played $0.27, Damaged $0.35 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Nidorino is valued near $61.96 — about 115x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Nidorino: 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) Nidorino sits around $61.96 — roughly 115x 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 $29.99 — 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.
