Hitmonlee (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Hitmonlee (Japanese) is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon # of the Darkness, and to Light... 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 Hitmonlee (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Hitmonlee (Japanese) (Uncommon, Darkness, and to Light... #) changes hands at roughly $7.74, 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 $7.74, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.74, Lightly Played $1.95, Moderately Played $1.49, Heavily Played $0.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Hitmonlee (Japanese) is valued near $79.99 — about 10x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Hitmonlee (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) Hitmonlee (Japanese) sits around $79.99 — roughly 10x 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 $24.50, PSA 8 $22.27 — 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.
