The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. All through 2025, 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 – Paldea Evolved, which came out in June 2023, are doing now in June 2025.

Magikarp Illustration Rare is the unlikely chase card that just won't quit. Since last month, this card has increased in value by a whopping $26, making it a $200+ chase card. It is the only Illustration Rare that has reached this kind of value, as it is mostly the rarer Special Illustration Rares that hold this kind of weight in the market. Other cards have slightly increased or decreased in value this month, but it's the heavy-hitting Magikarp that rules the Paldea Evolved seas.
