Pokémon TCG Value Watch: White Flare in January 2026

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Unova-themed set Scarlet & Violet - White Flare featuring Reshiram in January 2026.

The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past year, we have witnessed a significant surge of renewed interest in the hobby. The hype around the Alternate Arts of the Sword & Shield era and the Illustration Rares of the Scarlet & Violet era now continues in the new era, Mega Evolution. The Mega Evolution era continues the popular Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rare cards while introducing Gold Hyper Rares as the rarest type of card that can be pulled from a booster pack. As packs become more and more difficult to get, it seems that the hobby is more popular than ever. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch, to track the collector's market of modern sets. 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. Should you buy singles or packs? Is that chase card obtainable? Let's find out. Today, let's see how the cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – White Flare, which came out in July 2025, are doing now in January 2026.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – White Flare, with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:

1. Victini Black & White Rare 172/086: $402.96

15. Virizion Illustration Rare 095/086: $23.21

Not much has changed since December for the biggest cards of this set. Victini Black & White Rare remained rock steady, while both Reshiram ex Secret Rares saw relatively small drops. Reshiram ex Black & White Rare fell by $19, Reshiram ex Special Illustration Rare by $27. With sealed products still abundantly difficult to find, it does not appear that we can expect prices to crash for White Flare any time soon.
