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: Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift, which came out in November 2023, are doing now in June 2024.

  15. Golisopod ex Special Illustration Rare 246/182: $13.63

After a period of either decline or stagnation in this set, we are seeing a major increase in value here. The set's chase card, Roaring Moon ex Special Illustration Rare, is up $13 this month but it is undoubtedly about to be eclipsed by the second most valuable card of the set. Groudon Illustration Rare doubled in value in the past month. Look back to April? It was at $22. This continues to prove that actual rarity doesn't matter as much as the focus Pokémon does, and folks were hungry for a Groudon card. Stellix Illustration Rare also doubled in price, with Altaria ex Special Illustration Rare rising as well. This set is one to watch, as every listed card except the Iron Hands cards saw an increase in value since May.
