Staryu (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Staryu (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 #021/082 of the Clash of the Blue Sky 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 Staryu (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Staryu (Japanese) (Common, Clash of the Blue Sky #021/082) changes hands at roughly $3.48, 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 $3.48, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $1.88. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $3.48, Lightly Played $3.50, Heavily Played $1.88 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
