Growlithe (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Growlithe (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #006/048 of the Pokemon Web 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 Growlithe (Japanese)?

In 2026, a Near Mint Growlithe (Japanese) (Common, Pokemon Web #006/048) changes hands at roughly $29.99, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Growlithe (Japanese) is valued near $220.00 — about 7.3x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Growlithe (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) Growlithe (Japanese) sits around $220.00 — roughly 7.3x 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 $69.95, CGC 10 $75.00, PSA 8 $41.01 — 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.
