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 – Fusion Strike, which came out in November 2021, are doing now in October 2024.

We last checked in with the market value of Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike toward the end of the summer. Since then, the set's chase card Gengar VMAX Alternate Art has gone up $18 in value. Espeon VMAX Alternate Art, on the other hand, dropped quite a bit, falling under $200. It was on an upswing, which seems to have ended. The rest of the cards in this set remained relatively steady in the market.
