Genesect (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Genesect (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #029/036 of the CP5: Mythical & Legendary Dream Shine 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 Genesect (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Genesect (Japanese) (Common, CP5: Mythical & Legendary Dream Shine Collection #029/036) changes hands at roughly $30.00, 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 $30.00, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $16.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $30.00, Lightly Played $24.00, Moderately Played $16.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Genesect (Japanese) is valued near $150.00 — about 5.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Genesect (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) Genesect (Japanese) sits around $150.00 — roughly 5.0x 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 $34.99, CGC 10 $155.00 — 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.
