Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Battle Styles In November 2023

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series checks in with the Urshifu-themed Sword & Shield - Battle Styles in November 2023.



Article Summary

  • November 2023 sees Tyranitar V Alternate Art dip below $100 in Pokémon TCG.
  • Overall, Sword & Shield - Battle Styles values are declining this month.
  • Top valued cards from Battle Styles listed with current market prices.
  • Now's a promising time for collectors to complete their Battle Styles set.

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 Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Battle Styles, which came out in March 2021, are doing now in November 2023.
