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 – Evolving Skies, which came out in May 2020, are doing now in February 2024.

Unbelievably, we have another big jump in value for the set's chase card, Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art. Last month, we observed this card at $538.84 and it has since lept up to over $560. Will this end up as a $600 card? There seems to be no end in sight for this card, the top chase card of the entire Sword & Shield era.
