Pokémon Market Watch: Biggest Price Drop and Raising Drafts

price Scarlet and Violet 151 Pokémon Cards This month has been fast. As more booster boxes are opened and singles flood the market, some illustration rarities in the scene have begun to decrease in value, especially the intermediate evolution of starters Pokémon. On the other hand, as collectors chase cards with the best-looking look, fan favorite Kanto starter’s latest illustrations are rare.

Charizard Ex, Blastoise Ex and Venusaur Ex are top spots at climbers’ summit this week, with prices rising significantly, while Zapdos Ex and Alakazam Ex are also attracting collectors and competitors. All five cards have powerful works of art, excellent playability or both, which helps to increase the price.

Some illustrations of Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and their evolution are rare and the same cannot be said. These cards soared when the suits first fell, but prices have begun to steadily decline as more supplies are available in the market. They are still very popular, just not directing them in the same premium in June.

The collapser

While the final evolution of key starters is climbing, their earlier forms have begun to drop in value as more scarlet and violet 151 products hit. Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur were the hottest illustration thrills when the suit was launched, but prices were cooling as supply caught up with demand. Charmander fell 14% to $44.44, Squirtle fell 7% to $43.80, while Bulbasaur fell 18% to $32.20. These cards are still popular among collectors who want to complete the evolutionary line, but they no longer order the collection to release early prices for the month.

The evolution in the middle follows the same trend. Charmeleon fell 14% to $30.54, while Wartortle fell 15% to $27.36. Both illustration rares have excellent works of art and keeps interesting appeal, but they simply don't have the same appeal as the special illustration rare front card that eventually evolved. As the Scarlet & Violet 151 booster box continues to open, the market has been saturated with these mid-range rare rares, bringing prices back to a more reasonable level.

Even with these prices dropping, Kanto starters and their evolutionary illustrations are still a great pickup for collectors who want to be on the list. Prices may stabilize at these lower points, and if you missed it earlier, now is a good time to seize them. The final evolution will continue to be large items, but these cards are still iconic pieces of the set, suitable for anyone who grew up in the original Pokémon game.

Climbers

Charizard Ex rose to $210.00, up 14% from early July. It still causes 330 damage due to its powerful explosive vortex attack, and collectors continue to chase it, it remains an explosive huge illustration rare artwork that causes 330 damage. Blastoise Ex is getting sharper, driven by its intimidating artistic and competitive appeal, climbed 28% to $84.99.

The solid shell makes the explosion surprisingly frank, and the double cannon can unload huge damage by discarding water energy from your hands. Venusaurex saw a similar surge, up 27% to $69.99. Although Charizard usually draws attention, the rare illustration of Venusaur has become a favorite of collectors who love its vibrant, personalized design. Its tranquil flowers allow you to heal 60 damage per turn wherever you are active, while the dangerous Toxwhip spreads the status conditions with 150 damage, which makes it a tricky card.

The legendary Pokémon was not left out either. Zapdos Ex has climbed 23% to $61.99, a vibrant illustration that shows the legendary mid-birds. However, it's more than just binder candy. Voltaic Float removes its retreat cost when lightning energy is attached, and multi-purpose lightning can cause significant damage to the active bench and damaged backup Pokémon.

The climber is Alakazam Ex, which has risen the fastest shackle, growing 35% to $44.98. Surreal psychedelic artwork is rare on its special illustrations, which interest collectors, but it is also a flexible attacker. Jack punishes opponents with a full bench, and the size of the hand can be used, even if Alakazam sits on the bench, it can offer options that most other attackers don't have.

Last week's crashers and climbers

The base price of scarlet and violet has been fluctuating lately, with illustrations rarity growing steadily, while some are Special illustration Rures has cooled. The Ralts Evolutionary Line has been one of the biggest surprises of the month, with both Ralts and Kirlia climbing by about 28%. Their popularity seems to be driven by collectors chasing the full evolutionary line, rather than playability alone. The Gardenoir Ex also rose sharply by $54.99, thanks to its strong psychological embrace ability and frequent appearances on competitive decks. Miraidon Ex and Koraidon Ex see smaller but consistent gains, reflecting their continued use in Lightning and combat decks.

Meanwhile, several illustrations of Rures fell sharply. Dondozo and Starly saw the biggest falls, down 30% and 37% respectively, probably due to their limited competitive correlation. Fordough, Armarouge and Pachirisu also corrected from the initial launch hype. Overall, as collectors focus on full evolutionary lines and competitive viable cards, the market for scarlet and violet is shifting, while the once-filled lower-level illustrations are scarce the lower price range.
