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 August 2021, are doing now in March 2024.

It just keeps going up. The legendary chase card Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art, affectionately known as Moonbreon, hits a year high as it jumps over $40 this month alone to break the insane $600 ceiling. This card's value raising is a self-perpetuating cycle because its highly coveted nature has become a major part of modern Pokémon TCG lore. It may be a very, very long time before we see another modern card hit these heights.
