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 – Prismatic Evolutions, which came out in January 2025, are doing now in April 2025.

  8. Jolteon ex Special Illustration Rare 153/131: $315.89

  10. Eevee ex Special Illustration Rare 167/131: $228.63
  11. Ceruledge ex Special Illustration Rare 147/131: $221.41
  12. Dragapult ex Special Illustration Rare 165/131: $179.75
  13. Umbreon (Master Ball Reverse Holo) 059/131: $176.65
  14. Raging Bolt ex Special Illustration Rare 166/131: $154.26
  15. Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex Special Illustration Rare 168/131: $119.82

There is a slight decrease in value for the Umbreon ex Special Illustration Rare. It lost $100 but still remains one of the biggest modern chase cards ever. It is only truly surpassed by the Umbreon VMAX Alt Art from Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies, which is a card so big that it is actually also mostly the reason that this card is so big. Hype from Evolving Skies was so sky-high that this set was made as a sequel and to say it's working for the market would be an understatement.
