Slowpoke (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Slowpoke (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #024/095 of the SM8: Super-Burst Impact 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 Slowpoke (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Slowpoke (Japanese) (Common, SM8: Super-Burst Impact #024/095) changes hands at roughly $4.48, 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 $4.48, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $5.94. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Slowpoke (Japanese) is valued near $301.11 — about 67x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Slowpoke (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) Slowpoke (Japanese) sits around $301.11 — roughly 67x 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 Slowpoke (Japanese)
