Piplup, the Water-type starter of Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s fourth generation, is no different in this regard. That said, that&#8217;s not the only reason why the Piplup card from seventh-generation Pok\u00e9mon TCG set Dream League [SM11b] is as notable of a pull as it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a Character Rare (CHR) card; the CHR rarity only applies to specific cards which have the featured Pok\u00e9mon depicted alongside its Trainer. In this case, Piplup is shown with Dawn, the female protagonist of Gen 4&#8217;s main-series video games Pok\u00e9mon Diamond and Pearl as well as the Pok\u00e9mon anime of that same generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the value bump from having a female character prominently displayed, this card&#8217;s status as a CHR card plays into its elevated price because cards of that rarity have since been discontinued. Additionally, Dawn&#8217;s general popularity among the Pok\u00e9mon fandom is relatively high due to being a major character in both the video games and anime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that said, even Piplup itself does play a part in the high level of demand for this card. To this day, Piplup is still likely the most popular of all three Gen 4 starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In English, this card is 239\/236 from Cosmic Eclipse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale price of a Piplup (Dream League [SM11b] 052\/049) card is 9,000 JPY (~US$61).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/08\/07\/pokemon-tcg-prize-pack-series-five-awaits-tournament-players-release-date-price-where-to-buy\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prize Pack Series Five<\/a>.&nbsp;Alternatively, you can also head over to the SNKRDUNK App via the banner below and find the top trending and latest single cards and boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunkappen.page.link\/G4g7_PokemonTCG?slide=modal?slide=modal?slide=modal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15110337\/TCG.webp\" alt=\"TCG on the SNKRDUNK App\" class=\"wp-image-151767\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starter Pok\u00e9mon and their final evolutions are usually among the most popular Pok\u00e9mon of their respective generations.
