Darkrai (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Darkrai (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #270/414 of the SI: Start Deck 100 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 Darkrai (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Darkrai (Japanese) (Common, SI: Start Deck 100 #270/414) changes hands at roughly $4.99, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Darkrai (Japanese) is valued near $39.94 — about 8.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Darkrai (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) Darkrai (Japanese) sits around $39.94 — roughly 8.0x 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.

Collector Outlook for Darkrai (Japanese)
As a Common, Darkrai (Japanese) earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Darkrai (Japanese) on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
