Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Scarlet & Violet In May 2023

Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Scarlet & Violet in May 2023 examines if the cards in this set are falling in value or if they will rise.


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 Scarlet & Violet base, which came out in March 2023, are doing now in May 2023.

  14. Great Tusk ex Special Illustration Rare 246/198: $9.46
  15. Penny Full Art Trainer Supporter 239/198: $9.14

The chase card of the set, Miriam Special Illustration Rare Trainer Supporter, has dropped by a little over $10. I have a feeling it will continue to dip, so I am personally choosing to hold out before buying it in the secondary market. The second biggest hit of the set, Miraidon ex Special Illustration Rare, took a bigger drop with an $18 fall in value. Gardevoir ex Special Illustration Rare, the card I thought would be the chase, mirrors Miriam and falls $10. Koraidon ex Special Illustration Rare lost $14 in market value.
