This Week's Top 10 Deals
1. Mega Charizard X ex #125 (Phantasmal Flames) — 43% OFF
The Deal: S$560 on Telegram Groups vs S$982 baseline price — saving S$422
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Telegram Groups | S$560 | −43% |
| Facebook Marketplace | S$570 | −42% |
| TCGPlayer | S$739 | −25% |
| Carousell | S$1,100 | +12% |
Why It's Hot: The Mega Charizard X ex from Phantasmal Flames is one of the defining chase cards of the Mega Evolution TCG era. Its artwork is widely considered among the best of the generation, and Charizard's demand never wavers. The fact that Telegram is offering it 43% below baseline — and 50% below Carousell — reflects the active peer-to-peer market operating in Singapore's TCG Telegram community.
Singapore Context: This deal is only accessible if you're plugged into the right Telegram trading groups. Join SG TCG Trading and Singapore Pokemon Collectors channels to catch these listings. They move fast — often within hours of posting.
Verdict: Strong Buy — At S$560 for a card with a S$982 baseline and a clear upward global trend, this is one of the most compelling deals in the Singapore market this week. Verify condition carefully before transacting.

2. Oricorio Ex #111 (Japanese Inferno X) — 35% OFF
The Deal: S$40 on Carousell vs S$61 baseline — saving S$21
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Carousell | S$40 | −35% |
| Yuyutei | S$63 | +3% |
| TCGPlayer | S$83 | +35% |
| Telegram Groups | S$100 | +63% |
Why It's Hot: A 35% discount on a Japanese Inferno X card is a meaningful finding — especially given how actively this set is being traded right now. Oricorio Ex has a passionate collector base, and the spread between Carousell (S$40) and Telegram Groups (S$100) is remarkable: a 150% gap on the same card across Singapore platforms.
Singapore Context: Carousell is clearly the platform to use for this card right now. Multiple listings appear to be priced below market awareness. Check Bugis Street and Sim Lim Square vendors as well — they occasionally have Japanese cards priced without full knowledge of current market rates.
Verdict: Buy — S$40 for a card with a S$61 baseline is a solid pick-up, particularly for collectors building a Japanese Mega Evolution era collection.
---
3. Glaceon Ex #206 (Japanese Terastal Festival) — 34% OFF
The Deal: S$45 on KyoCards vs S$68 baseline — saving S$23
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| KyoCards | S$45 | −34% |
| Carousell | S$45 | −34% |
| Facebook Marketplace | S$48 | −29% |
| Yuyutei | S$63 | −7% |
| TCGPlayer | S$76 | +12% |
Why It's Hot: Glaceon has a dedicated and passionate collector following. The Terastal Festival version is a beautiful card, and seeing it at S$45 on two platforms simultaneously (KyoCards and Carousell) makes this a confirmed market opportunity rather than a one-off deal. Five-platform coverage means the data is solid.
Singapore Context: KyoCards is a reliable local retailer with consistent stock and condition standards — this is a safer buy than a peer-to-peer Carousell transaction for those who prioritise certainty over absolute lowest price. Bricks Play may also have Terastal Festival singles worth checking.
Verdict: Buy — Whether you go KyoCards for reliability or Carousell for familiarity, S$45 is a clear win at 34% off. TCGPlayer at S$76 is the number to avoid.
---
4. Mega Charizard X ex #223 (Japanese Mega Dream ex) — 34% OFF
The Deal: S$35 on KyoCards vs S$53 baseline — saving S$18
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| KyoCards | S$35 | −34% |
| Yuyutei | S$45 | −15% |
| Telegram Groups | S$50 | −5% |
| Carousell | S$48 | −9% |
Why It's Hot: Another Mega Charizard X variant, this time from the Japanese Mega Dream ex set — the alternate art (#223). At S$35 from KyoCards, this is accessible for even budget-conscious collectors. The Mega Dream ex set contains some of the most exciting cards in the current Mega Evolution era, and any Charizard card carries inherent long-term demand.
Singapore Context: The Mega Dream ex set has been harder to find at retail than anticipated. KyoCards having stock at this price point is worth acting on quickly. DEKTCGshop may have alternatives worth checking.
Verdict: Buy — At S$35, this is an easy add for collectors building a Mega Charizard X collection. The baseline of S$53 gives you immediate paper gain the moment you complete the purchase.
---
5. Dawn #115 (Japanese Inferno X) — 31% OFF
The Deal: S$35 on Facebook Marketplace vs S$51 baseline — saving S$16
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Facebook Marketplace | S$35 | −31% |
| Carousell | S$38 | −25% |
| KyoCards | S$40 | −21% |
| TCGPlayer | S$45 | −12% |
| Yuyutei | S$45 | −12% |
| Telegram Groups | S$70 | +38% |
Why It's Hot: The Dawn supporter card from Japanese Inferno X is actively sought by collectors who appreciate trainer/supporter illustration rares. Six platforms tracked means we have high confidence in the baseline. What's striking is the extreme spread: Facebook at S$35 versus Telegram at S$70 — the same card, double the price depending on which platform you check.
Singapore Context: Facebook Marketplace in Singapore has become a surprisingly strong source for Japanese singles priced below community awareness. The Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group regularly surfaces deals from private sellers clearing collections.
Verdict: Buy — Three platforms (Facebook, Carousell, KyoCards) are all priced 21–31% below baseline. Take your pick and avoid Telegram for this one.
---
6. Seismitoad #109 (Japanese Black Bolt) — 27% OFF
The Deal: S$60 on Carousell vs S$82 baseline — saving S$22
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Carousell | S$60 | −27% |
| KyoCards | S$65 | −20% |
| Facebook Marketplace | S$65 | −20% |
| Yuyutei | S$72 | −12% |
| TCGPlayer | S$88 | +8% |
Why It's Hot: Seismitoad has a cult following among collectors who appreciate its distinctive design. The Japanese Black Bolt version carries particular appeal as a set that's been harder to obtain internationally than domestically in Singapore. Five platforms tracked, with strong consensus pricing well below TCGPlayer.
Singapore Context: Carousell has the best price at S$60 — S$28 below TCGPlayer. For a card with a S$82 baseline, this is a legitimate saving. Local pickup in Singapore saves the shipping costs that make international sourcing less attractive.
Verdict: Buy for Fans — If you collect Seismitoad or Japanese Black Bolt, this is a clear opportunity. More general collectors may prioritise the higher-savings deals above.
---
7. Flareon Ex #202 (Japanese Terastal Festival) — 26% OFF
The Deal: S$45 on KyoCards vs S$61 baseline — saving S$16
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| KyoCards | S$45 | −26% |
| Carousell | S$55 | −9% |
| Yuyutei | S$54 | −11% |
| TCGPlayer | S$64 | +5% |
Why It's Hot: Flareon is a beloved Eeveelution with a consistent collector base. The Terastal Festival version pairs well with the Glaceon Ex (#3 on this list) — both from the same set and both discounted significantly at KyoCards this week. If you're building an Eeveelution collection, this is an excellent opportunity to pick up two on the same week.
Singapore Context: KyoCards appears to have restocked Terastal Festival singles this week with competitive pricing — worth checking their full catalogue if you need other cards from this set.
Verdict: Buy — Particularly attractive as a bundle with Glaceon Ex if you're collecting Eeveelutions. S$45 each for both cards is a strong outcome.
---
8. Mega Gengar ex #240 (Japanese Mega Dream ex) — 25% OFF
The Deal: S$300 on Facebook Marketplace vs S$402 baseline — saving S$102
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Facebook Marketplace | S$300 | −25% |
| Carousell | S$310 | −23% |
| Telegram Groups | S$388 | −3% |
| Yuyutei | S$403 | flat |
| TCGPlayer | S$747 | +86% |
Why It's Hot: The Mega Gengar ex is one of the most sought-after cards in the entire Mega Evolution era — and the price gap between platforms this week is extraordinary. Facebook Marketplace at S$300 versus TCGPlayer at S$747 is an 86% premium on the same card. This is also the biggest absolute dollar saving in this week's list: S$102 below baseline on a card that's globally priced at approximately USD $1,000+.
Singapore Context: The local market (Facebook, Carousell) is pricing this card at S$300–$310, significantly below international rates. This is a genuine arbitrage opportunity. For Peninsula Plaza and Bugis vendors, expect pricing closer to S$380–$420 reflecting secondary market rates. The Facebook Marketplace deal at S$300 appears to be from a private seller — act quickly as these don't stay listed for long.
Verdict: Strong Buy — One of the highest absolute savings in this week's deals. Do your due diligence on condition (verify it's not a reject grade), but at S$300 for a card with a S$402 local baseline and S$747 TCGPlayer price, this is exceptional value.

9. Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex #243 (Japanese Mega Dream ex) — 25% OFF
The Deal: S$40 on Carousell vs S$53 baseline — saving S$13
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Carousell | S$40 | −25% |
| KyoCards | S$49 | −8% |
| Facebook Marketplace | S$60 | +13% |
| Yuyutei | S$63 | +18% |
Why It's Hot: Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex is a supporter card from the Japanese Mega Dream ex set — a set that's generating significant collector interest. The illustration is striking, and Marnie has one of the most dedicated collector fanbases in the entire trainer card category. Carousell at S$40 versus Yuyutei at S$63 is a 57% difference on the same card.
Singapore Context: Carousell is the right platform this week. Facebook Marketplace is actually overpriced versus baseline here — an unusual reversal. Check listings carefully and compare before transacting.
Verdict: Buy for Marnie Fans — At S$40, this is a very accessible price point for a collectible supporter card from one of the hottest current sets.
---
10. Mega Absol Ex #180 (Pokemon Mega Evolution) — 24% OFF
The Deal: S$70 on Carousell vs S$93 baseline — saving S$23
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Carousell | S$70 | −24% |
| KyoCards | S$78 | −16% |
| TCGPlayer | S$86 | −7% |
| Telegram Groups | S$110 | +19% |
Why It's Hot: Mega Absol Ex from the Pokemon Mega Evolution set is a collector favourite — the Absol design translates beautifully to Mega form, and this is a card from the original Mega Evolution set, which is gaining collector credibility as the era becomes more prominent in the TCG. Carousell at S$70 versus Telegram at S$110 — a 57% difference — signals the Telegram price is simply wrong.
Singapore Context: Carousell and KyoCards have this correctly priced. If you see Telegram listings around S$110, skip them. The real market this week is on Carousell.
Verdict: Buy — A solid pick-up for Mega Evolution era collectors at a meaningful discount. Telegram pricing this week is inflated — stick to Carousell or KyoCards.

Bonus Deal: Mega Charizard X Ex #110 (Japanese Inferno X) — 21% OFF
The Deal: S$528 on Carousell vs S$665 baseline — saving S$137
| Platform | Price | vs Baseline |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| Carousell | S$528 | −21% |
| Telegram Groups | S$550 | −17% |
| Facebook Marketplace | S$578 | −13% |
| KyoCards | S$600 | −10% |
| Yuyutei | S$628 | −6% |
| TCGPlayer | S$802 | +21% |
This high-value card is worth mentioning separately. Six platforms tracked means maximum data confidence. Carousell at S$528 is the strongest deal; TCGPlayer at S$802 is to be avoided entirely. At S$137 absolute saving, this is a compelling high-end opportunity.

Weekly Insights
Best Platforms This Week
1. Telegram Groups — Best source for absolute lowest prices on high-value cards. Mega Charizard X ex at 43% off and Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex at 19% off came from Telegram. Requires community membership and active monitoring.
2. Carousell — Reliable across the widest range of cards. Three deals in the top 10, strong on both mid-range and high-value. Most accessible platform for Singapore collectors.
3. KyoCards — Quietly impressive this week with three deals in the top 10. Competitive on Japanese Terastal Festival and Mega Dream ex singles. Good for collectors who want a retail-like experience with community pricing.
4. Facebook Marketplace — Best for finding private sellers who may be clearing collections without full market knowledge. Best deal on Mega Gengar ex and Dawn came from here.
5. Yuyutei — Reasonable for Japanese cards when JPY pricing is favourable, but consistently outperformed locally this week.
6. TCGPlayer — Avoid this week. Overpriced on every single card in this week's top 10. Mega Gengar ex at S$747 versus S$300 locally is the most egregious example. TCGPlayer prices for Japanese cards are frequently disconnected from local Singapore market reality.
Biggest Price Gaps This Week
The largest arbitrage spreads between platforms:
- Mega Gengar ex #240: S$300 (Facebook) vs S$747 (TCGPlayer) — 149% gap
- Mega Charizard X ex #125: S$560 (Telegram) vs S$1,100 (Carousell) — 96% gap
- Dawn #115: S$35 (Facebook) vs S$70 (Telegram) — 100% gap
- Oricorio Ex #111: S$40 (Carousell) vs S$100 (Telegram) — 150% gap
- Mega Charizard X Ex #110: S$528 (Carousell) vs S$802 (TCGPlayer) — 52% gap
These gaps are unusually large — a sign that Singapore's multi-platform market has not yet fully price-corrected across all channels.
Cards to Watch
- Mega Charizard X (all versions) — Three separate Mega Charizard X cards appear across this week's deals list. Demand is running hot and price discrepancies across platforms are significant. This is the card family dominating Singapore's attention right now.
- Japanese Mega Dream ex cards — Four of this week's top 10 deals come from this set. Strong collector interest, active Singapore market, competitive local pricing significantly below TCGPlayer.
- Japanese Terastal Festival Eeveelutions — Glaceon Ex and Flareon Ex both appearing this week at KyoCards. If KyoCards has restocked Terastal Festival, expect other Eeveelutions to surface at competitive prices too.
Singapore Market Observations
Local Trends:
- The Mega Evolution era is dominating deal flow this week — Japanese Mega Dream ex, Inferno X, and the main Mega Evolution set all feature prominently. Singapore collectors appear highly engaged with this era.
- KyoCards has emerged as a deal source this week in a way that's unusual — they're matching or beating Carousell prices on select Japanese singles, which is worth monitoring going forward.
- TCGPlayer prices for Japanese Pokemon cards continue to be significantly inflated relative to Singapore's local market. Collectors sourcing from TCGPlayer for JP cards are consistently overpaying by 20–86% versus what's available locally.
- Facebook Marketplace is producing surprising finds this week — private sellers clearing collections appear to be pricing without full market awareness, creating genuine arbitrage for informed buyers in the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group.

Collector Action Items
For Budget Collectors (S$50–S$200/month)
1. This week's priorities: Oricorio Ex at S$40 (Carousell), Mega Charizard X ex #223 at S$35 (KyoCards), Dawn at S$35 (Facebook) — all under S$50 with 30%+ savings
2. Platform to use: Carousell for reliability; Facebook Marketplace if you can verify sellers carefully
3. Avoid: Telegram for cards under S$100 this week — local Telegram groups are overpricing several mid-range cards
For Serious Collectors (S$300–S$1,000/month)
1. Top priority: Mega Charizard X ex #125 at S$560 via Telegram — the 43% saving on a flagship card is rare
2. Secondary priority: Mega Gengar ex at S$300 on Facebook Marketplace — absolute savings of S$102 and significant discount to international pricing
3. Platform strategy: Monitor Telegram Groups and Facebook Marketplace daily this week; these are the sources producing the most significant deals on high-value cards
4. Timing: Mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) typically sees the best private seller listings on Carousell as sellers post after the Monday rush
For High-End Collectors (S$1,500+/month)
1. Priority: Mega Charizard X Ex #110 (Japanese Inferno X) at S$528 (Carousell) — S$137 below baseline, six-platform data confidence
2. Watch: Any Mega Gengar ex PSA 10 submissions coming back this cycle — Singapore graded card market will likely reflect global price movements
3. Platform strategy: Build relationships in Singapore's TCG Telegram communities for first-access to private sales before cards hit public listings

How to Use This Guide
1. Check the deal source first — Prices change rapidly. Listings at these prices may be gone within hours. Check the platform immediately.
2. Verify card condition — A 43% discount means nothing if the card is damaged. For Carousell and Facebook transactions, always request clear photos of all four corners, the card face, and the back.
3. Factor in meetup vs shipping — Local pickup in Singapore avoids shipping costs entirely. Peninsula Plaza and Bugis are the most common meetup locations in the community; many Singapore Pokemon Collectors Telegram group members offer meetup at MRT stations.
4. Compare before buying — Use the tables above to verify you're on the right platform. The same card can have a 150% price difference across platforms this week.
5. Join the communities — Singapore Pokemon Collectors (Facebook), SG TCG Trading (Telegram), and Pokemon Cards Singapore (Facebook) are where deals surface first.

Next Week Preview
With Pokemon 151 prices surging and the Mega Evolution era driving strong trading volume, next week's deals are likely to continue featuring Japanese Mega Dream ex and Inferno X cards prominently. Watch for:
- Any Mega Charizard X SIR (Phantasmal Flames) corrections — the S$560 Telegram deal this week may create downward pressure if more sellers enter at similar prices
- Pokemon 151 singles — Squirtle IR and Blastoise SIR have doubled in recent weeks; any correction could create deal opportunities
- Perfect Order pre-release movement — As release approaches, retail-priced pre-orders may become harder to find and secondary market prices may tick up
