Reshiram (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Reshiram (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #021/190 of the S4a: Shiny Star V 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 Reshiram (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Reshiram (Japanese) (Ultra Rare, S4a: Shiny Star V #021/190) changes hands at roughly $1.06, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.06, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $1.44. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Reshiram (Japanese) is valued near $26.83 — about 25x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Reshiram (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Reshiram (Japanese), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Reshiram (Japanese) sits around $26.83 — roughly 25x 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 $16.51, CGC 10 $21.50, CGC 9.5 $11.99 — 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.
