Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Evolving Skies In April 2023

Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Evolving Skies in April 2023 sees the Umbreon VMAX continue to rise with no end it sight. Could it break $1,000?

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 – Evolving Skies, which came out in August 2021, are doing now in April 2023.

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

1. Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art 215/203: $625.52
2. Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art 218/203: $295.24
3. Leafeon VMAX Alternate Art 205/203: $151.68
4. Glaceon VMAX Alternate Art 209/203: $135.63
5. Sylveon VMAX Alternate Art 212/203: $132.77
6. Dragonite V Alternate Art 192/203: $97.37
7. Rayquaza V Alternate Art 194/203: $93.56
8. Umbreon V Alternate Art 189/203: $90.24
9. Espeon V Alternate Art 180/203: $71.12
10. Sylveon V Alternate Art 184/203: $64.42
11. Glaceon V Alternate Art 175/203: $62.63
12. Leafeon V Alternate Art 167/203: $58.86
13. Noivern V Alternate Art 196/203: $35.50
14. Rayquaza VMAX Rainbow Rare 217/203: $33.61
15. Umbreon VMAX Rainbow Rare 214/203: $30.78

This is getting unhinged. Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art went up $80 last month. This card's rise is absolutely exponential and it seems destined to be the first modern English-language card in a very, very, very long time to crack $1,000. Could it happen? At this rate, it's less if and more when. The other Alternate Arts of this set remain dynamic, with Umbreon V falling a bit, Leafeon V falling a bit, and the Eeveelution VMAXes staying relatively steady.
