Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Battle Styles In May 2023

This month's Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Sword & Shield - Battle Styles watches the movement of this March 2021 set two years later.

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 – Rebel Clash, which came out in March 2021, are doing now in May 2023.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Battle Styles with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:

1. Tyranitar V Alternate Art 155/163: $105.87

Shiny Houndoom Gold Secret Rare also took a small leap up at $3, which is significant due to its comparatively lower value.
