Scyther (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Scyther (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 Scyther (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Scyther (Japanese) (Uncommon, Darkness, and to Light... #) changes hands at roughly $5.75, 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 $5.75, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.75, Lightly Played $3.82, Moderately Played $4.00, Damaged $1.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Scyther (Japanese) is valued near $75.00 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Scyther (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) Scyther (Japanese) sits around $75.00 — roughly 13x 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 $10.50, CGC 10 $12.50, CGC 9.5 $19.99 — 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.
