Nidoran (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Nidoran (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 #002/048 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 Nidoran (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nidoran (Japanese) (Common, Pokemon Web #002/048) changes hands at roughly $19.40, 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 $19.40, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $7.06. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Nidoran (Japanese) is valued near $80.95 — about 4.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Nidoran (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) Nidoran (Japanese) sits around $80.95 — roughly 4.2x 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 $49.99, CGC 10 $34.00, PSA 8 $21.77 — 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.
