Wishiwashi (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Wishiwashi (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 #017/049 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 Wishiwashi (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wishiwashi (Japanese) (Common, SM2+: Facing a New Trial #017/049) changes hands at roughly $1.25, 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 $1.25, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $1.00.

Collector Outlook for Wishiwashi (Japanese)
As a Common, Wishiwashi (Japanese) earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. Collect it for completeness and the joy of the hunt; its appeal is the set, not the ceiling. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Wishiwashi (Japanese) on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
