Blog Andrew Joseph 13 Aug , 2025 0

Since the climax earlier this year, the special illustration stimulation of temporal strength has seen significant movements. Card Explosion bolts,,,,, Before the iron crownand Before walking awakening Once one of the most popular pulls in the suit, but all three fell from their spring top.
Fierce bolt ex drops 11% Value from May $82.36 Trading around now $73.45and the Iron Crown fell 13% Within the same time range, from $55.74 arrive $48.30. Walking WARKE scored the biggest blow from three players and lost 20% Since May, its price has been $50.37 arrive $40.45. This downturn reflects a wider cooling of high-end singles in the scene when both players and collectors reevaluate their priorities.
Twilight Masquerade sees a more mixed picture, with some cards losing steam while others continuing to grow. Perrin Relaxed 11% Starting from March, $106.43 arrive $94.87and Rouge The same percentage has dropped since June $78.70 arrive $69.99. Both are special illustration rare proponents, and both enjoy early interest due to their unique effects, but neither is the fixture on the competition list, resulting in a softer demand.
Meanwhile, the scene’s illustrations are rare and certain Pokémon pre-cards are climbing as casual buyers and competitors are interested.Gasley Already rising 13% Since June $35.74 arrive $40.99helps in Gengar Evolution Line and attractive artwork.
By Greena Climbed 17% Since January $18.44 arrive $21.59thanks to its versatile attack and solid HP. Sinistcha and tatsugiri Everyone moves upwards 10% Pricing is now available since April $21.59 and $18.48 respectively EEVEE Obtained 10% Arrived from early August $21.59. These changes highlight some cards that have steadily increased their value over a few months due to competitive experiments, collector interests or they are just amazing cards. Let's all collapse:
Pokémon Card Crashers
For early demand cards, the market has cooled. Some people slipped due to lack of competition, while others have changed people's attention because collectors have changed.
Explosion bolts Blasting blasts that bring explosions to replenish your hands and climax down, converting discarded basic energy into heavy damage. It looks like it will be a staple in some builds, but the high retreat costs and inconsistent settings make it less reliable in practice. Additional dungeons have been put on the market as competitors try more stable options. Special illustrations of rare artworks are still turning around in binders, but their prices are falling as demand slows.
Before the iron crown Provide useful bench support on future decks with Cobalt Command, adding damage to your other future Pokémon attacks. Twin Shotels provides a reliable way to bypass common defense capabilities. Still, it hasn't found a consistent spot on the top tournament list, and collector purchases have been alleviated. There is no strong competitive outcome to keep a high focus and prices have fallen since May.
Before walking awakening Due to Azure Wave, the influence of the opponent's active Pokémon and Cathartic Roar were ignored, causing 240 damage under the right conditions. The trick is to make these conditions happen consistently. The deck built around it has achieved different successes and no ongoing performance keeps it in focus, with its rare price dropping significantly from early high school.
Perrin Give players the option to loop Pokémon from their hands to the deck and get the same number of rewards. In some builds, it may be a valuable setup tool, but it faces competition from other proponents who are more generally suitable for the current deck, such as professor research. Collectors still appreciate the rare art of detailed special illustrations, but prices have recovered since March, as demand for both has eased.
Rouge It is one of the few cards you can use in the first turn when you turn for the first time, allowing you to discard your hand and draw five cards. It can make quick starts, but using narrow conditions means it usually sits in unused situations. With the development of Metagame, it has not become a fixture in the competition deck, and its special illustrations are rarely seen in value lists since June.
Pokémon Rock Climber
Not every card moves downward. The value of Twilight Masquerade singles is gradually rising due to playability, a mix of collector interests and unique artwork.
tatsugiri is a small but effective public card for certain strategies. If you attract customers to the first six cards on the deck, you can draw supporters from the first six cards on the deck and provide a low maintenance way to find key cards. Its single retreat cost and easy illustration of rare artwork also make it a popular choice for collectors. The combination of features and style has helped it maintain steady gains since April.
Sinistcha Re-Brew benefits, this attack spreads damage based on the grass energy in your discard and then pours it onto the deck. Matcha splashes provide reliable damage while healing the team, which can be important in longer instrumentation matches. As grass-centric deck sees more experimentation, the rare value of this particular illustration has risen since April.
EEVEE Collectors always need it, and the Twilight Coat Dress illustrations rare show a group of people hugging on egg chairs. The lift allows it to evolve quickly, which can be useful in some settings, although its main appeal is its position in the history of the franchise. Interest rates have slightly increased since early August. I hope this card continues to grow indefinitely, with Albiet's increments being small.
By Greena A strong offensive option is provided in Shinobi Blade and Mirage Barrage, which are able to reach two goals at a time. The combination of impaired output and flexibility makes it attractive to all kinds of decks. Stunning special illustrations of rare artwork and Greninja fights with Charizard for the starter Pokémon champion and adds to the collector’s appeal while the coach is willing to pay a premium for one of the most valuable Pokémon cards in the era of scarlet and violet.
Gastly combines unique illustration rare designs to showcase and evolve into a competitive Gengar deck build. Mysterious beams provide potential energy damage, and suffocating gases can cause cheap damage when needed. It has as much appeal as adhesive displays, just like a tournament table, and its value has been steadily rising since June.
Last week's crashers and climbers
Last week’s Pokémon TCG Market update put Paldean’s fate and hidden destiny, with several special illustrations of rare and shiny vault classics. In terms of climbing, Mew ex Leading the charges at 76% rate since October $389.45Driven by its powerful restart capabilities and flexible genome hacking. custody Next increased by 51% $78.99Benefit from its energy acceleration in the psychological deck, and Charizard Ex Up 36% $160.00 Thanks to his powerful hell domination ability. The hidden destiny heavyweight also gained the ground, Charizard GX Grow 12% $482.89 and Umbreon GX Up 19% $188.88Both continue to attract collectors and players.
The crasher list is Pikachu From Paldean Fates, 48% dropped from January $25.00 As people's demand fades, despite the appeal of nostalgia. Charmander 19% decline from the same group $20.80although Glaceon GX 33% decline from hidden fate $40.30 Due to the decline in correlation in the GX era. Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX See smaller 4% dipping sauce $33.68and EEVEE Slide 8% from hidden fate $33.13. In both groups, the pattern is obvious: high-end, competitive or visually prestigious cards have or gain value, while smaller, less influential pull forces work hard to maintain early hype.
The most expensive prismatic card you can still pull out of the package
Prismatic morphology remains one of the most valuable sets of the Scarlet and Violet era, by Mr. Umbreon Ex exist $869despite a high of $1,300 from earlier this year, is still the highest Chase card. this Mr. Sylveon Ex Sitting in the second place $315brings powerful control options through its magical charm and Angelite attacks. Mr. Espeon Ex Following immediately $204.99by changing effects, provides damage, and Mr. Leafeon Ex exist $209.99 Mixed healing and scaling damage. Mr. Vaporeon hold $200.98 Have strong interest rate spread damage potential, and Mr. Jolteon Ex Match the same $179.99 The price is Mr. Glaceon Exalthough Glaceon has fallen 44% since May. Mr. Franne former exist $153.99 Still a popular choice for fire decks, Roaring Mr. Moon Stay on it $140and Mr. EEVEE EX Close the top ten $112.98 With multifunctional evolution ability.
Outside of eeveelions, this set has an affordable but amazing gentleman Dragapult ex exist $94.99,,,,, ceruledge ex exist $93.85and Ursaluna exist $83.99. Mid-range options, e.g. Explosion bolts (($75.95), Gholdengo Ex (($60.00), Before Palafen (($63.54), Iron heroic front (($50.99), Iron Hand (($45.95), terapagos (($39.00), and Before the iron crown (($40.60) Provide excellent artwork at a small portion of the highest card price. Since many of these have been corrected from early highs, collectors now have the opportunity to protect the key block at a steady value before the next move up.
