Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Evolving Skies In October 2023

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Eeveelution and Dragon-themed Sword & Shield - Evolving Skies in October 2023.

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 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: $516.24
2. Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art 218/203: $262.37
3. Leafeon VMAX Alternate Art 205/203: $143.69
4. Glaceon VMAX Alternate Art 209/203: $137.93
5. Sylveon VMAX Alternate Art 212/203: $126.63
6. Dragonite V Alternate Art 192/203: $91.86
7. Umbreon V Alternate Art 189/203: $83.13
8. Rayquaza V Alternate Art 194/203: $76.57

14. Rayquaza VMAX Rainbow Rare 217/203: $27.25
15. Noivern V Alternate Art 196/203: $26.46

We have a notable drop on the big chase card, Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art. This card fell $32 this past month while the second biggest card of the set, Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art, remains steady but still far below the Umbreon in value. Dragonite V Alternate Art jumped up $5, inching its way toward the $100 mark.
