CGC has graded 51 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
A PSA 10 sells for $130.18£97.98€114.65 against $4.27£3.21€3.76 ungraded plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular. Without a PSA population report there is nothing to weight those grades by, so this is a best case rather than an average. CGC numbers cannot stand in: the prices on this ladder are PSA prices and a CGC 10 is an easier grade to reach.

The Metapod on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Great Encounters, and it trades at $3.98£3€3.51 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 9 $39.87£30.01€35.11, CGC/BGS 9.5 $44£33.12€38.75, PSA 10 $130.18£97.98€114.65. PSA has graded 10 copies of it. 67 completed sales are on file.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $130.18£97.98€114.65. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
What Metapod does
Stage1, evolves from Caterpie · 70 HP · retreat 2
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Metapod is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for a card that evolves from Metapod and put it onto Metapod. (This counts as evolving Metapod.) Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Metapod is affected by a Special Condition.
