Krookodile (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Krookodile (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #047/069 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 Krookodile (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Krookodile (Japanese) (Rare, BW4: Dark Rush #047/069) changes hands at roughly $1.16, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.16, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $2.00. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Krookodile (Japanese) is valued near $89.99 — about 78x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Krookodile (Japanese): 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) Krookodile (Japanese) sits around $89.99 — roughly 78x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
