Pokemon Card Market Check: 5 Big Movers for June 2025

If you’ve ever kept a close eye on the Pokemon TCG market, you know that prices can shift fast—sometimes overnight. June has been no exception. Whether you're a collector looking to cash in or a player hunting for undervalued gems, some cards are making serious moves this month. I've been following sales trends, community chatter, and TCG data, and here are the top 5 cards that caught my attention. Let’s dive into what’s rising and why.

1. Reshiram GX (Secret Rare, Dragon Majesty)

Let’s start with a jaw-dropper. The Rainbow Rare version of Reshiram‑GX from Dragon Majesty has been on an absolute tear. It was sitting comfortably around $30 not long ago, but recent sales have pushed it north of $70 for heavily played, with LP and Mint listings going even higher. The reason? It’s a beautiful card, has strong nostalgia appeal, and Dragon Majesty was a limited release set. Combine that with the growing interest in older full-art GXs, and it’s no surprise collectors are snapping it up fast.

2. Emolga (Legendary Treasures: Radiant Collection)

Emolga might not be a heavy-hitter in battle, but its Radiant Collection full-art card has a ton of fan love. Prices have been creeping up steadily this month, with plenty of listings jumping over 25% into the $30–$40 range. It’s a card that feels like it was made to be framed, not played—and collectors are finally giving it the attention it deserves.

3. Gyarados (Full Art, Ancient Origins)

This Gyarados has quietly made its way into the spotlight. While it’s not the most expensive Gyarados card out there, this full-art version from Ancient Origins has seen a solid jump in value recently, over 33% to around $17. That set is starting to show its age, and full-art cards from the XY era are getting harder to find in good condition. Gyarados is a fan favorite too, which never hurts when it comes to long-term value.

4. Mew V (Prize Pack Series, Fusion Strike)

This card is a sleeper hit. The Prize Pack Series Mew V from Fusion Strike isn't just a cool-looking version of a fan-favorite Pokémon—it’s also a limited prize-stamped card, which makes it tougher to come by. As more players and collectors realize its rarity, the price has been rising steadily. It recently jumped by around $9 and continues to trend upward. If you happen to have one from a local event, you might be holding onto a hidden gem.

5. Volcanion‑EX (Secret Rare, Steam Siege)

Last but not least is a surprising move from a set that doesn’t always get much love. Volcanion‑EX from Steam Siege has made a comeback this month, with prices rising by around $9. The secret rare version is beautiful, and Volcanion has a unique fire/water typing that keeps it interesting. As more collectors look back on the EX era for nostalgic value, expect cards like this to keep creeping up in price.

WHat is happening in the Pokemon Card Market

The big drivers this month seem to be a mix of nostalgia, scarcity, and aesthetics. Older full-art and secret rare cards are gaining traction as collectors revisit sets from the XY and Sun & Moon eras. We’re also seeing increased interest in cards that feature unique art, limited releases, or prize stamps—especially as modern sets become more widely printed and accessible.

Keep on COllecting!

Whether you're selling, buying, or just watching the Pokemon Card Market, June has been a reminder that Pokémon cards aren’t just fun to collect, they’re also constantly moving pieces of pop culture history. If you’ve got any of these cards in your binder, it might be worth taking a second look. And if you’re looking to add them, now’s the time before they climb even higher.
