Metapod (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Metapod (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #002/070 of the L1: SoulSilver Collection 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 Metapod (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metapod (Japanese) (Uncommon, L1: SoulSilver Collection #002/070) changes hands at roughly $3.50, 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 $3.50, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $3.00.
