Lt. Surge's Rattata (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Lt. Surge's Rattata (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #015/032 of the Pokemon TCG Classic: Blastoise 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 Lt. Surge's Rattata (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Lt. Surge's Rattata (Japanese) (Common, Pokemon TCG Classic: Blastoise #015/032) changes hands at roughly $2.85, 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 $2.85, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $2.80. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lt. Surge's Rattata (Japanese) is valued near $41.01 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Lt. Surge's Rattata (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) Lt. Surge's Rattata (Japanese) sits around $41.01 — roughly 14x 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. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $13.99, CGC 10 $14.95, CGC 9.5 $2.45 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
