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 hyperdrive 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 August 2025.

  14. Raging Bolt ex Special Illustration Rare 166/131: $74.68
  15. Umbreon (Master Ball Reverse Holo) 059/131: $67.75

We have a big, notable drop this month. Umbreon ex Special Illustration Rare has finally fallen under the $1,000 mark after soaring in value upon release. The craze around the card was driven by the persistently high and historic value of the Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art from Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies. While Umbreon ex Special Illustration Rare will remain a monster chase card, it doesn't seem as if this $1,500+ value trick can be repeated. There were more drops, including:

  • Sylveon ex Special Illustration Rare, by about $90
  • Leafeon ex Special Illustration Rare, by about $55
  • Espeon ex Special Illustration Rare, by about $40
  • Jolteon ex Special Illustration Rare, by about $25
