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 – Vivid Voltage, which came out in November 2020, are doing now in December 2023.

Pikachu VMAX Rainbow Rare is the biggest card of the set. Even beyond that, it is the only card holding any value from Sword & Shield – Vivid Voltage. This month, it held steady by dropping less than a dollar in the secondary market. Despite the fact that it's becoming rarer to see a pack of this set sitting on shelves by the month, the cards outside of the Pikachu are now quite low in value.
