Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Journey Together in May 2025

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Trainer-themed set Scarlet & Violet - Journey Together in May 2025.

The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past few months, we've seen a huge surge of renewed interest in the hobby. Of course, there was massive hype during the Sword & Shield era around Alternate Arts, but the beginning of the Scarlet & Violet era saw a marked cool-down in the hobby. Now, it seems that the collector's market is going into hyper-drive once more, as attention to both current Scarlet & Violet sets as well as Sword & Shield sets soars. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch, to track the collector's market of modern sets. 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. Should you buy singles or packs? Is that chase card obtainable? Let's find out. Today, let's see how the cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Journey Together, which came out in March 2025, are doing now in May 2025.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Journey Together, with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:

1. Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Illustration Rare 184/159: $179.01

15. Spiky Energy Gold Hyper Rare 190/159: $8.38

This set's chase card, Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Illustration Rare, has dropped… but not by a huge amount. It has lost $24 in market value. Salamence ex Special Illustration Rare, the second biggest hit, dropped by $13 while the third top card, N's Zoroark ex Special Illustration Rare, fell by $12. This feels like the market for this set evening out across the board after the expected hype around its release.
