Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Battle Styles In June 2022

The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past two years, we've seen renewed interest in the hobby due to a number of factors including the 25th Anniversary, strong Sword & Shield-era sets featuring stunning Alternate Arts, influencers, box breaks, COVID-19 lockdown pushing people to find hobbies, and more. For a time, sets and cards that were readily available quickly became difficult to find. Now that the hype is settling down, let's see where modern sets stand. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch. This series is not financial advice but is rather a way to help collectors know the trajectory of a card's availability so that Pokémon TCG completionists like myself know when to strike. Today, let's see how the cards of Sword & Shield – Battle Styles, which came out in March 2021 are doing now in June 2022.

There were no major changes on any of these cards over the past month. All shifts in value was just by $1 – $5, which is normal market oscillation. This set has a few major hits with all of them currently being at their all-time low due to the wide availability of this set. Battle Styles is worth buying as singles and sealed due to the overall low price of both options.
