Smeargle (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Smeargle (Japanese) in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon # 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 Smeargle (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Smeargle (Japanese) (Uncommon, DP3: Shining Darkness #) changes hands at roughly $4.99, 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 $4.99, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.99, Lightly Played $2.82, Moderately Played $2.00, Heavily Played $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
