Nidorino (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Nidorino (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #042/087 of the CP6: Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary 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 Nidorino (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nidorino (Japanese) (Uncommon, CP6: Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary #042/087) changes hands at roughly $0.50, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Nidorino (Japanese) is valued near $95.00 — about 190x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Nidorino (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) Nidorino (Japanese) sits around $95.00 — roughly 190x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
