Quick answer
CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) counts the Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards it tracks for the Johto region, character by character, and how many of them carry a PSA 10 price.
Johto characters hold 86 tracked Simplified Chinese cards on this site across 8 characters. 8 of those characters have at least one card with a PSA 10 price. The cards come chiefly from CBB2, CS4a, CBB5, CBB3, CSM2c. The table lists every character we track from the region, most tracked cards first.
Johto is the second region, from Chikorita to Celebi. Its characters reach the Chinese line mostly through the Tag Team era sets and the later Scarlet and Violet era sets.
Cards for Johto reach the Simplified Chinese line across 18 set codes we track. CBB2 carries the largest share with 29 cards, followed by CS4a with 14 cards and CBB5 with 7 cards. Umbreon alone accounts for 30 of the 86 cards, Espeon adds 24 and Houndoom 14.

This page is a checklist as much as a count: a character appears only when the Chinese line has printed it, so the table doubles as a quick answer to whether a character exists in Simplified Chinese at all. Characters printed in other languages are outside this view.
Counts are the cards we track, not the printed population of a set. Where a character appears in several treatments inside one set, each treatment is counted on its own row on the character’s page. Set codes are shown the way the release timeline shows them, so one code covers all parts of a set.
