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, one full year later, in November 2024.

The Scarlet & Violet era may be heating up. This month saw huge increases in the top two cards of Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates, and now we're also seeing shifts in this set. The biggest change is Groudon Illustration Rare, jumping $12 in value. This is unusual for an Illustration Rare, making this Groudon much like the Magikarp from Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved, in that both cards are valued at much higher than even rarer cards in the set.
