# Ribombee (Japanese) #042 — SM1S: Collection Sun

## Summary

Ribombee sits in the plain Rare slot of Collection Sun, a mid-tier pull for a Pokémon who never got a chase treatment in this set, and that keeps the Japanese copy approachable. Released in Japan in December 2016, it arrived about two months before English players saw it in Sun & Moon. The pink Fairy-type card shows the yellow-and-white pollinator hovering above a field of purple flowers under a bright blue sky. The modelled guide sits at $2.05 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $49 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
