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 October 2024.

Lugia V Alternate Art, the chase card of Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest, has remained steady for two months. It dropped just $3 since the last time we checked in back in August. The biggest shake-up was the drop in the market of the standard Regidrago VSTAR, which lost $10 of value and fell off the list completely. In this set's Trainer Gallery, Rayquaza VMAX Character Super Rare lost $4 in the market, making it the most affordable it has been since release.
