Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Noctowl & chase cards
Tap to open
Noctowl is one of those quietly charming cards from the Skyridge set, released back in 2003, and it's earned a soft spot with collectors who appreciate Atsuko Nishida's artwork and the extra shine of a reverse holo. If you're checking Noctowl value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $75, which is solid for an uncommon from a set this old. It's not a chase card in the flashy sense, but Skyridge holds a special place in Pokemon history, and that alone keeps demand steady.

The collector's take on Noctowl
Is Noctowl worth grading?
So is Noctowl worth grading? A raw copy runs $75, a Grade 9 climbs to $186, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $780, which works out to about 10.4 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting to send every copy off to grading. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on cards from this era, Skyridge printing wasn't always kind to centering and surface, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time all eat into your potential profit if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you've got a sharp-looking copy with clean edges and no whitening, it's a reasonable gamble. If it's just a decent raw card, it might be smarter to enjoy it as is or sell it raw.
How rare is Noctowl?
We don't have official population numbers to lean on here, but everything about Noctowl points to a card that's tougher to find than its uncommon rarity suggests. Skyridge was printed in smaller runs than the sets around it, and reverse holos from that era were never as common as they are in modern packs. That combination, an older uncommon plus the reverse holo treatment, is exactly why the price holds up even without a big rarity label attached to it.
Where can you pull Noctowl?
Here's the honest, insider part: PackSpy hasn't recorded a single Noctowl pull across any of the sites we track. That tells you something real. This isn't a card that's showing up in modern pack breaks or online rips, it's a Skyridge-era card, and Skyridge product simply isn't circulating through today's pack-opening sites the way newer sets are. If you want a Noctowl Reverse Holo, your realistic path is the secondary market, not a pack. And that's worth remembering generally too, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid. We track real pulls across sites specifically so you can see what's actually coming out of packs, not just what price guides say should be there.
Questions people ask
How much is Noctowl worth?+
A raw, ungraded Noctowl Reverse Holo from Skyridge is worth $75. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 at $186 and a PSA 10 reaching $780, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Noctowl worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 is worth 10.4 times the raw price, which is a meaningful jump from $75 to $780, but gem mint is hard to land and grading isn't free or fast. If your card looks clean and sharp, grading can pay off, but a rough copy is probably better sold raw.
Why is the Noctowl Reverse Holo #40 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holos carry that extra sparkle across the card frame instead of just the artwork, and collectors have always paid a bit more for that look. Combine that with Skyridge being an older, smaller-print 2003 set, and the reverse holo version naturally holds more value than a plain non-holo copy.
