Magikarp (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Magikarp (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #021/071 of the S10b: Pokemon GO 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 Magikarp (Japanese)?

In 2026, a Near Mint Magikarp (Japanese) (Common, S10b: Pokemon GO #021/071) changes hands at roughly $0.51, 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 $0.51, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $0.35. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Magikarp (Japanese) is valued near $49.99 — about 98x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Magikarp (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) Magikarp (Japanese) sits around $49.99 — roughly 98x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
