Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Evolving Skies in July 2025

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Eeveelution-themed cards of Sword & Shield - Evolving Skies in July 2025.

The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past few months, we've seen a huge surge of renewed interest in the hobby. Of course, there was massive hype during the Sword & Shield era around Alternate Arts, but the beginning of the Scarlet & Violet era saw a marked cool-down in the hobby. Now, it seems that the collector's market is going into hyper-drive once more, as attention to both current Scarlet & Violet sets as well as Sword & Shield sets soars. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch, to track the collector's market of modern sets. 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. Should you buy singles or packs? Is that chase card obtainable? Let's find out. Today, let's see how the cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies, which came out in August 2021, are doing now in July 2025.

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: $1,430.06
2. Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art 218/203: $682.37
3. Leafeon VMAX Alternate Art 205/203: $394.07
4. Sylveon VMAX Alternate Art 212/203: $293,83
5. Glaceon VMAX Alternate Art 209/203: $275.31
6. Dragonite V Alternate Art 192/203: $239.99
7. Umbreon V Alternate Art 189/203: $234.29
8. Rayquaza V Alternate Art 194/203: $214.29
9. Espeon V Alternate Art 180/203: $132.48
10. Sylveon V Alternate Art 184/203: $117.96
11. Glaceon V Alternate Art 175/203: $112.11
12. Leafeon V Alternate Art 167/203: $104.11
13. Umbreon VMAX Rainbow Rare 214/203: $51.84
14. Rayquaza VMAX Rainbow Rare 213/203: $47.35
15. Umbreon V Full Art 188/203: $47.11

After a few months of drops, Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art was steady this month. It lost $62 in value, which, for a card with a value of over $1,400, is no loss at all. This can be seen as market fluctuation and nothing more. Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art and Dragonite V Alternate Art both lost $20-30 each. This is a small amount for cards of this value, but it does show that the Eeveelution Alt Arts are largely holding their value while the Dragon Alt Arts drop a bit. This set has been more Evolving than Skies in the market for quite some time.
