The Pokémon TCG market is constantly evolving and remains unpredictable. Over the last two years, interest in the hobby has been rekindled due to various factors, such as the 25th Anniversary, impressive Sword & Shield-era sets with stunning Alternate Arts, influencer promotions, box breaks, and the COVID-19 lockdown encouraging people to find new hobbies. At one point, readily available sets and cards became scarce. Now that the initial excitement is waning, it’s time to assess the status of modern sets. Each month, I will publish a new installment of the Pokémon TCG Value Watch series. While this series is not intended as financial advice, it serves to inform collectors about the trends in card availability, assisting Pokémon TCG completionists like myself in determining the best time to acquire cards. Today, let’s examine the current state of the cards from Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates, released in January 2024, as of June 2024.

Special sets like this, which lack booster boxes and are sold exclusively in themed products, often experience significant declines in individual card values over time. However, many of the top chase cards are currently maintaining their value. The most prominent card, the Shiny Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare, has only decreased by $5 since May. The second and third most valuable cards, the Shiny Mew ex Special Illustration Rare and Shiny Gardevoir ex Special Illustration Rare, have both experienced slight increases in value. This trend continues across the set, with cards experiencing minor gains or losses in value.
