Article Summary

  • Silver Tempest’s Lugia V Alt Art value surged by $50 in April 2024.
  • Top cards of Sword & Shield era tracked in monthly Value Watch.
  • Rayquaza VMAX leads the Trainer Gallery subset in market value.
  • Market trends analyzed using TCGPlayer for Pokémon TCG pricing.

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: Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest, which came out in November 2022, are doing now in April 2024.

The chase card of this set, Lugia V Alternate Art, is up $50 this month. That is a big jump. This card is pushing toward being one of the biggest hits of the overall Galar era. The Lugia Secret Rares in this set are also up, both the Rainbow and Gold, but not by nearly as much as the Alt Art.
