The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past few months, we've seen a huge surge of renewed interest in the hobby. Of course, there was massive hype during the Sword & Shield era around Alternate Arts, but the beginning of the Scarlet & Violet era saw a marked cool-down in the hobby. Now, it seems that the collector's market is going into hyperdrive once more, as attention to both current Scarlet & Violet sets as well as Sword & Shield sets soars. 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 October 2025.

  15. Zorua Illustration Rare 142/086: $21.17

This is our first time observing the value of White Flare. Both White Flare and its sister set, Black Bolt, feature the same Victini card as the top pull. Though the art is the same on the cards, the set numbering is exclusive to White Flare, making these cards a nightmare for completionist collectors. The chase cards of this set are a bit less valuable, but not by much. Outside of the Victini card, the two Reshiram Secret Rares are the ones to watch.
