Dratini (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Dratini (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #036/054 of the Rulers of the Heavens 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.
