Released in 2023 and illustrated by Shiburingaru, it sits at Uncommon rarity, which means it was never meant to be the chase card of the set, just a nice one to land in your binder.

The collector's take on Nidorino
Is Nidorino worth grading?
So is Nidorino worth grading? Honestly, it depends on what you are hoping to get out of it. A raw copy sits at $13, a Grade 9 nudges that up only slightly to $18, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $81, which works out to about 6.2 times the raw price. That gap sounds exciting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on Uncommon cards like this since even small print or centering issues can knock a copy down a grade. Once you factor in grading fees and the real chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, grading only makes sense here if you already love the card and want it protected, not as a quick way to flip a profit.
How rare is Nidorino?
We do not have hard population numbers to point to for this one, and that is pretty normal for a card sitting at Uncommon rarity in a set as heavily opened as Scarlet & Violet 151. Uncommons like Nidorino were printed in far greater numbers than the Rares or Special Illustration cards people chase, so raw copies are easy to find and prices stay grounded. That accessibility is exactly why the value sits where it does, plentiful supply keeps it a friendly, collector-level card rather than a scarce grail.
Where can you pull Nidorino?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls happening across pack sites, not just guesswork. We have recorded Nidorino pulled 12 times so far, across courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $40. It has turned up in a handful of different pack types too, including the Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Anime Pop Culture Gacha, and Wildcard Basic Pack, so if you are opening any of those, keep an eye out. Just remember that pack opening is a gamble by nature, most rips do not beat what you paid in, so treat any Nidorino pull as a nice bonus rather than the goal.
Questions people ask
How much is Nidorino worth?+
A raw, ungraded Nidorino from the Japanese Scarlet & Violet 151 set is valued at $13. That is the number most collectors will see day to day since the majority of copies out there are ungraded.
Is Nidorino worth grading?+
It can be, but go in with realistic expectations. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is significant, about 6.2 times the raw price, but gem mint copies are tough to pull off and grading costs eat into any potential gain, so it is best done for love of the card rather than pure profit.
How much is a PSA 10 Nidorino worth?+
A PSA 10 Nidorino is valued at $81, compared to $18 for a Grade 9 and $13 raw. That gem mint premium reflects how much harder it is to land a flawless copy, even on an Uncommon card like this one.
