Bulbasaur (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Bulbasaur (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #001/069 of the BW4: Dark Rush 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 Bulbasaur (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Bulbasaur (Japanese) (Common, BW4: Dark Rush #001/069) changes hands at roughly $7.99, 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 $7.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.11. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.99, Lightly Played $4.99, Moderately Played $3.54, Heavily Played $1.99, Damaged $2.11 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
