Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Chilling Reign In October 2021
The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Last year, we saw renewed interest in the hobby due to a number of factors including the coming 25th Anniversary, a strong launch for Sword & Shield-era sets, influencers, box breaks, COVID-19 lockdown pushing people to find hobbies, and more. Sets and cards that were readily available quickly became difficult to find. Now, 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 & Sheild – Chilling Reign, which came out in June 2021, are doing in October 2021.
Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Chilling Reign with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:
- Blaziken VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 201/198: $124.33

Blaziken VMAX Alternate Art seems fairly stable between now and last month. Before that, it was dropping off, but now, it has only changed by one dollar: one dollar up. Moltres V Alternate Art and Shiny Snorlax Gold have switched the second and third places, moving around just a few dollars each. As far as the other hitters, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX continues to drop, and it seems to be heading toward under $80. Finally, Rapidash V Alternate Art is up $5, which is noticeable for a card in the $30 range. Considering the popularity of this Pokémon, that may be one to watch.
