Volcanion EX: Rarity & Collectibility
Volcanion 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 #26/114 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 Volcanion EX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Volcanion EX (Ultra Rare, XY - Steam Siege #26/114) changes hands at roughly $2.24, 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 $2.24, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.85. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.24, Lightly Played $1.92, Moderately Played $1.52, Heavily Played $1.28, Damaged $0.85 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Volcanion EX is valued near $79.99 — about 36x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Volcanion EX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Volcanion EX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Volcanion EX sits around $79.99 — roughly 36x 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 $17.51, PSA 8 $9.99 — 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.
