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 December 2023.
Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:
- Lugia V Alternate Art 186/195: $130.20
- Lugia VSTAR Rainbow Rare 202/195: $22.01

The chase card of the set, Lugia V Alternate Art, is up $9 this month. Forest Seal Stone Holographic Rare, the unusually high-valued holographic rare, dropped $5 this month. I still can't see it maintaining this value for years to come. In the Trainer Gallery, the Rayquaza VMAX Character Super Rare is up $3.
