The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past year, we have witnessed a significant surge of renewed interest in the hobby. The hype around the Alternate Arts of the Sword & Shield era and the Illustration Rares of the Scarlet & Violet era now continues in the new era, Mega Evolution. The Mega Evolution era continues the popular Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rare cards while introducing Gold Hyper Rares as the rarest type of card that can be pulled from a booster pack. As packs become more and more difficult to get, it seems that the hobby is more popular than ever. 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 – Paldean Fates, which came out in January 2024, are doing now in March 2026.

Much like 151's chase cards, the top cards of Paldean Fates saw significant growth this month. However, unlike 151, it's truly just those chase cards that saw big increases. The rest of the set has grown, but not quite to the level of the top cards… in particular, Shiny Mew ex Special Illustration Rare, which increased in value by over $200 since the year began. This card, affectionately referred to as "Bubble Mew" by collectors, is on its way toward being an Umbreon VMAX-level chase card if this keeps up.
