Charmeleon (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Charmeleon (Japanese) is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #011/100 of the S4: Amazing Volt Tackle 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 Charmeleon (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charmeleon (Japanese) (Uncommon, S4: Amazing Volt Tackle #011/100) changes hands at roughly $0.19, 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 $0.19, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.20. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charmeleon (Japanese) is valued near $13.50 — about 71x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charmeleon (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) Charmeleon (Japanese) sits around $13.50 — roughly 71x 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 CGC 10 $24.57, PSA 8 $7.50 — 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.
