Venonat (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Venonat (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # 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 Venonat (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Venonat (Japanese) (Common, Darkness, and to Light... #) changes hands at roughly $2.98, 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 $2.98, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.75. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.98, Lightly Played $0.95, Moderately Played $0.75 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Venonat (Japanese) is valued near $77.50 — about 26x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Venonat (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) Venonat (Japanese) sits around $77.50 — roughly 26x 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 $8.50, CGC 10 $21.00, CGC 9.5 $8.50 — 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.
