Lickitung (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Lickitung (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #073/096 of the XY3: Rising Fist 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, XY3: Rising Fist #073/096) changes hands at roughly $1.98, 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 $1.98, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $1.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.98, Moderately Played $0.75, Heavily Played $1.99 — 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 $59.94 — about 30x 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 $59.94 — roughly 30x 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.
