Lickitung: Rarity & Collectibility
Lickitung is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #048/130 of the Base Set 2 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 Lickitung?
In 2026, a Near Mint Lickitung (Uncommon, Base Set 2 #048/130) changes hands at roughly $2.00, 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 $2.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.38. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.00, Lightly Played $0.77, Moderately Played $0.61, Heavily Played $0.46, Damaged $0.38 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lickitung is valued near $116.18 — about 58x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Lickitung: 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) Lickitung sits around $116.18 — roughly 58x 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 $12.99, CGC 10 $21.50 — 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.
