Chikorita (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Chikorita (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 #001/032 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 Chikorita (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Chikorita (Japanese) (Common, CP3: PokeKyun Collection #001/032) changes hands at roughly $28.00, 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 $28.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $28.00, Lightly Played $12.00, Moderately Played $4.99, Damaged $5.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Chikorita (Japanese) is valued near $103.50 — about 3.7x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Chikorita (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) Chikorita (Japanese) sits around $103.50 — roughly 3.7x 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 $36.00, CGC 10 $74.99, CGC 9.5 $39.95 — 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.
