Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Evolving Skies In October 2022

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 October 2022.

Insane. Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies continues to see its chase cards increase in value. The Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art has shot up again to almost $500, but it's not alone. The Rayquaza VMAX Alt Art, which was once close in value to Umbreon, is raising in value again. This set remains completely unpredictable.
