Lickitung (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Lickitung (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # of the Southern Island 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 Lickitung (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Lickitung (Japanese) (Common, Southern Island #) changes hands at roughly $10.00, 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 $10.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.69. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.00, Lightly Played $9.48, Moderately Played $8.43, Heavily Played $6.22, Damaged $3.69 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lickitung (Japanese) is valued near $144.95 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Lickitung (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) Lickitung (Japanese) sits around $144.95 — roughly 14x 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. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $24.00, CGC 10 $150.00, BGS 9.5 $70.00 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
