Charmeleon (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Charmeleon (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 #004/032 of the CP3: PokeKyun Collection 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 Charmeleon (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charmeleon (Japanese) (Common, CP3: PokeKyun Collection #004/032) changes hands at roughly $24.31, 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 $24.31, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $15.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $24.31, Lightly Played $21.99, Damaged $15.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charmeleon (Japanese) is valued near $177.11 — about 7.3x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charmeleon (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) Charmeleon (Japanese) sits around $177.11 — roughly 7.3x 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 $32.00, CGC 10 $99.99, CGC 9.5 $30.00 — 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.
