The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past two years, we’ve seen renewed interest in the hobby due to a number of factors, including the 25th Anniversary, strong Sword & Shield-era sets featuring stunning Alternate Arts, influencers, box breaks, COVID-19 lockdown pushing people to find hobbies, and more. For a time, sets and cards that were readily available quickly became difficult to find. Now that the hype is settling down, let’s see where modern sets stand. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch. 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. Today, let’s see how the cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces, which came out in March 2023, are doing now in May 2024.

This is our first time observing the value of this newly released expansion. This set is based on the Paradox Pokémon released in the Scarlet & Violet DLCs, which include Ancient ancestors of the Beasts of Johto and Future descendants of the Swords of Justice from Unova. There isn’t a huge standout chase card here, but the popularity of the species on which these new Paradox Pokémon are based is creating a lot of cards that hold a solid amount of value in the $35 – $65 range. We will see if this set increases in value over time.
