Chikorita (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Chikorita (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # of the Neo Premium File 1 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 Chikorita (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Chikorita (Japanese) (Common, Neo Premium File 1 #) changes hands at roughly $2.32, 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 $2.32, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.92. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.32, Lightly Played $1.64, Moderately Played $1.28, Heavily Played $1.13, Damaged $0.92 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.

Collector Outlook for Chikorita (Japanese)
