Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Journey Together in April 2025

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the new Trainer-themed set Scarlet & Violet - Journey Together in April 2025.



Article Summary

  • Explore value trends in Pokémon TCG's Scarlet & Violet - Journey Together set, released in March 2025.
  • Renewed collector interest in Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet sets drives market dynamics.
  • Key cards like Lillie's Clefairy ex and Salamence ex Special Illustration Rares lead in value.
  • Despite current drops, market volatility suggests potential rebounds for chase cards.

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: Scarlet & Violet – Journey Together, which came out in March 2025, are doing now a month after release.

Prices, overall, are down from when this set first dropped. There is some hype around this set but, the fact is, the universe of the Pokémon TCG is currently being pulled toward the black hole that is Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions. We are seeing steep drops from the value seen for Journey Together major hits from the first few weeks, so I would recommend keeping an eye on these cards. They're dropping now but the market around this set is volatile and I wouldn't be surprised to see value creep back up.
