Slowking (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Slowking (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #023/049 of the SM2+: Facing a New Trial 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 Slowking (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Slowking (Japanese) (Common, SM2+: Facing a New Trial #023/049) changes hands at roughly $5.00, 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 $5.00, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $2.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.00, Lightly Played $3.00, Moderately Played $2.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
