Arbok (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Arbok (Japanese) is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #026/054 of the SM10b: Sky Legend 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 Arbok (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Arbok (Japanese) (Uncommon, SM10b: Sky Legend #026/054) changes hands at roughly $0.75, 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 $0.75, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.25. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Arbok (Japanese) is valued near $47.33 — about 63x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Arbok (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) Arbok (Japanese) sits around $47.33 — roughly 63x 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.
