Nidorino (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Nidorino (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #018/048 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 Nidorino (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nidorino (Japanese) (Uncommon, Pokemon Web #018/048) changes hands at roughly $35.00, 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 $35.00, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $10.62. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Nidorino (Japanese) is valued near $125.00 — about 3.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Nidorino (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) Nidorino (Japanese) sits around $125.00 — roughly 3.6x 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 9.5 $4.25, PSA 8 $5.50 — 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.
