Grimer (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Grimer (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # of the DP3: Shining Darkness 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 Grimer (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Grimer (Japanese) (Common, DP3: Shining Darkness #) changes hands at roughly $4.49, 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 $4.49, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.25.

Collector Outlook for Grimer (Japanese)
As a Common, Grimer (Japanese) earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Grimer (Japanese) on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
