Zoroark (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Zoroark (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 #049/069 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 Zoroark (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Zoroark (Japanese) (Rare, BW4: Dark Rush #049/069) changes hands at roughly $4.99, 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 $4.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $4.03. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.99, Lightly Played $2.50, Moderately Played $1.87, Heavily Played $0.75, Damaged $4.03 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Zoroark (Japanese) is valued near $74.99 — about 15x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Zoroark (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) Zoroark (Japanese) sits around $74.99 — roughly 15x 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 $28.95 — 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.
