Bulbasaur (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Bulbasaur (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #001/150 of the SM8b: GX Ultra Shiny 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 Bulbasaur (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Bulbasaur (Japanese) (Common, SM8b: GX Ultra Shiny #001/150) changes hands at roughly $1.74, 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 $1.74, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $1.50.

Collector Outlook for Bulbasaur (Japanese)
As a Common, Bulbasaur (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 Bulbasaur (Japanese) on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
