Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Silver Tempest In April 2023

Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Silver Tempest in April 2023 notes this expansion as mostly steady except for one card increasing in value.


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 Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest, which came out in November 2022, are doing now in April 2023.

The most notable shift is the standard Regieleki VMAX which didn't rank at all last time and is now the 8th card in the set with a higher value than the Rainbow Rare version of the card. As far as the Trainer Gallery, Friends in Galar is down a bit but most remains the same.
