Pokémon Market Watch: Biggest Price Drop and Raising Drafts
Blog Andrew Joseph 19 May , 2025 0

this Pokémon TCG Market Moving, not quiet. and Black bolts and white flares Hot, a lot Black and white– The card of the era suddenly appears on every collector's radar.
We've seen a lot of jumps on the cards that have been stable for years, all because Gen V has regained its style. If you want to trade, cash out, or just want to know the currency of weird card prices, I will serve you.
Here are five flying cards with five face implants. Some of them are smart purchases. Others? Suppose I don't want to be the one who paid the full price three weeks ago.
Pokémon Card Crashers

Leicester's evolution of prism It has fallen 21% since mid-April, from $467.85 to $369.96. Of course, it's still expensive, but that's a big part of the evaporation in a few weeks. If you buy it high, sorry. If not, reduce it a few more times before pounceing.
Then EEVEE EXalso comes from prismatic shape. It fell 28% and peaked above $240 and is now selling for $172. Honestly, I think Eeveelution fatigue is real. There are many of them floating around, and even good cards are trying to maintain their value.
Lillie's Clefairy Ex travel together The slide this month is 26%, from $212 to $158. I still like this card very much, but the inclination is obvious. Early adopters may have paid more than they cost, and now the market correction is like remembering what money is.
Salamence Ex Very rough. It has fallen 63% since late March, from $242 to $90.50. It's not a correction, it's a full-scale crash landing. I wouldn't be shocked if it drops further. It might be worth a look, but I won't run into it unless you're participating for the art.
Finally, we have Prismatic iron crowndown 19% this month. It costs about $84 and now it's $67.75. It's not bad, but it's still part of a clear trend. The set's debut was big and now the shine is fading quickly.
Pokémon Rock Climber

I'll Reshiram from black and whiteabsolutely spin. It was priced at $33.92 in mid-March, and now you are lucky enough to find a price under $240. It's a card for over a decade, and it's a 150% leap. I've seen faster elevators, but not many. With all 156 Unova Pokémon getting fresh prints as soon as possible, I think there is still room for the climbing space of Reshiram.
Then The next fate of Zekrom ExIt has increased from $34.63 to nearly $392 since March. Here is another reminder that the former ERA’s full art card is not only collection, but also turbulent. Very good if you enter early. If it's right for your binder, I'll still catch it because once the white flare falls, it will only attract more attention.
I'm watching, too Sprigatito evolution from Paldea. The IR version has quietly increased from $17.98 in January to $21.95 today. It's not in the moonlight, but it's doing very well compared to the general downturn of the modern IRS. Plus, this is a smug kitten, and people like smug cats.
Now dianga-gx from light-off. This guy sold $14 just two months ago for $74.99. I won't call it elegant, but it will definitely get attention. GX-era cards have received more attention lately, and in my opinion, Dialga's age combined with playable nostalgia makes it reliable.
Don't laugh, but Vileplume-gx for the universe's solar eclipse Get up too. It always feels like $6.83, now it's over $10. This is not exactly a gold rush, but rather the strange rare characters sneaking around when no one looks at it. If you pull it out of the bulk box, you will thank yourself later and then suddenly pay for lunch.
Pokémon Card Sealing Booster
Unless you are dead Promotional cards and posters in 151 poster bundlegrab the booster pack position from the TCG player (Or just separate posters and promotions).
Currently, at $10.33 per pack, it's clear that Amazon has now surpassed retail price and secondary market value. If you don't want to unpack and just want 151 chase cards, this is some of my favorites too.
If you devote your life to yourself pulling Chase cards, then this is the inventory we can find now. Just beware of pricing on MSRP, we are currently in Pokémon trainer status as a strange one, so don't pay more than you need.
If you're craving some big retailer products, then you're OK. Just be sure to be smart before buying, Of 10 TCG players, 9 times will be cheaper In this climate.
This is Pokémon TCG full release schedule So far, nothing has been missed this year. Buying singles is the cheapest way to collect now, but don't feel like you have to “catch em' all!”.
