Dragonite (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Dragonite (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #005/020 of the Dragon Selection 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 Dragonite (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dragonite (Japanese) (Common, Dragon Selection #005/020) changes hands at roughly $20.00, 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 $20.00, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $6.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $20.00, Lightly Played $16.50, Moderately Played $8.00, Heavily Played $6.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Dragonite (Japanese) is valued near $220.87 — about 11x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Dragonite (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) Dragonite (Japanese) sits around $220.87 — roughly 11x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
