Vileplume (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Vileplume (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 Vileplume (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Vileplume (Japanese) (Common, Southern Island #) changes hands at roughly $16.02, 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 $16.02, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.92. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $16.02, Lightly Played $11.52, Moderately Played $7.80, Heavily Played $5.89, Damaged $5.92 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Vileplume (Japanese) is valued near $113.50 — about 7.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Vileplume (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) Vileplume (Japanese) sits around $113.50 — roughly 7.1x 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 $46.00, CGC 9.5 $52.25, PSA 8 $32.95 — 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.
