Best Pokemon Card Deals in Singapore (15 August 2026)

Where Are the Best Pokemon Card Deals in Singapore This Week? (Week of 15 August 2026)

We scanned Carousell, Telegram, KyoCards, SNKRDUNK, Yuyutei, TCGPlayer and CardMarket — here are this week's biggest savings against the PriceCharting baseline

The same Umbreon GX can cost you S$194 or S$972 this week. That is not a typo. It is the live spread on Umbreon GX #229 from GX Ultra Shiny — S$193.96 on TCGPlayer against S$972 on Yuyutei — and it is exactly the kind of gap that separates Singapore collectors who check before they buy from Singapore collectors who overpay by four figures.

We pulled fresh tcgTalk Singapore Market Mapper data on 15 August 2026, covering 20,993 tracked Singapore Pokemon cards, and measured every listing against its PriceCharting market price — the closest thing this hobby has to a neutral "book value." When we say a card is 38% off this week, we mean the cheapest live listing sits 38% below that PriceCharting baseline, not below some other platform's inflated ask. That is the honest way to spot a real deal.

If you follow Pokemon card prices Singapore collectors care about, the headline this week is a familiar one with a twist: the platform that is cheapest depends heavily on the card's value. Below S$50, the local retailers win. Above S$50, the ranking flips — and this week TCGPlayer, of all places, is quietly the cheapest source on several high-value chase cards. Here is the data.

This Week's Highlights

- Best high-value deal: Espeon V #81 (Eevee Heroes) at S$90.59 on TCGPlayer — a full 42% below its S$155.25 PriceCharting baseline, and the deepest discount on our board this week.
- Biggest price gap: Umbreon GX #229 (GX Ultra Shiny) — S$193.96 (TCGPlayer) versus S$972 (Yuyutei). That is a 401% spread on the same card, the widest gap we tracked.
- Hot platform: TCGPlayer held the lowest price on 4 of this week's top 10 deals — an unusual result driven entirely by high-value modern chase cards.
- Local value champion: KyoCards remains the most reliable everyday value in Singapore, running a median 11% below PriceCharting across 535 tracked listings.
- Cards analysed: 20,993 tracked, filtered to multi-platform listings with meaningful savings against book.

Scope:
- Timeframe: Week of 15 August 2026
- Data source: tcgTalk Singapore Market Mapper, generated 15 August 2026
- Baseline: PriceCharting market price per card; a negative figure means the listing is below book
- Currency: All prices in SGD (Singapore dollars)
- Method: Lowest live listed price per platform, cards with 3+ platforms unless noted

A quick note on how to read the tables below. The "vs PriceCharting" column shows how far each platform's cheapest live listing sits from that card's PriceCharting baseline. A −31% means you are paying 31% under book; a +73% means you are paying 73% over. Prices move fast on the newer Japanese sets, so treat these as a snapshot, not a guarantee — always confirm on the source before you buy.

The Platform Scorecard: Who Is Actually Cheapest?

Before the individual deals, here is the backbone table — the median deviation from the PriceCharting baseline for every platform we track, across cards priced S$5 and up. This is the single most useful thing in this report: it tells you which platform to open first.

Platform	Median vs PriceCharting	Listings below book	Tracked listings
CardMarket	−74%	100%	15
Telegram Groups	−22%	78%	108
KyoCards	−11%	58%	535
Yuyutei	+16%	34%	679
Carousell	+27%	21%	149
TCGPlayer	+46%	16%	268
SNKRDUNK	+75%	10%	480

Read from the top, the story is clear. CardMarket is technically the cheapest platform on paper, but it was only added to our tracking in August 2026 and its coverage is still thin — roughly 2% of cards, mostly older Western-set singles and bulk commons, so those −74% figures come from a tiny, unrepresentative sample. Treat CardMarket as a "check if it happens to have your card" option, not a primary source yet. (More on it below.)

The platform that matters for most Singapore collectors is KyoCards: a median 11% under book, with 58% of its listings below PriceCharting across the largest reliable sample of local, ready-to-ship cards. Telegram groups run cheaper still on paper, but that number reflects community sellers clearing collections — great deals when they appear, but you are hunting, not shopping.

At the bottom sits SNKRDUNK, at a startling +75% median. That number is misleading in an important way, and understanding why is the key to buying well this week.

The value-tier flip

SNKRDUNK charges a roughly S$21 minimum floor per authenticated listing. On a S$6 common, that floor makes the card look absurdly expensive — which is why SNKRDUNK's overall median is so high. But re-run the same scorecard on cards priced S$50 and up, and the ranking turns over completely:

Platform (cards ≥ S$50)	Median vs PriceCharting
SNKRDUNK	+17%
Carousell	+23%
KyoCards	+25%
TCGPlayer	+46%
Yuyutei	+57%

On chase cards, SNKRDUNK jumps from worst to second-cheapest, because its flat fee is trivial against a S$300 card and its authentication becomes a genuine advantage. Meanwhile Yuyutei goes the other way — fair on everyday singles at +16%, but the most expensive platform on high-value cards at +57%. Yuyutei prices its chase cards for the Japanese domestic collector, and by the time you add the exchange rate and the premium, you are overpaying badly.

The takeaway: under S$50, buy local — KyoCards, Telegram, Carousell. Over S$50, add SNKRDUNK and TCGPlayer to your search and be very wary of Yuyutei's chase-card asks. Every deal below reflects this pattern.

Top 10 Deals This Week

1. Umbreon GX #229 (GX Ultra Shiny) — 38% off

The Deal: S$193.96 on TCGPlayer against a S$315.25 PriceCharting baseline — the marquee eeveelution chase card of GX Ultra Shiny, S$121 under book, and the widest platform gap on our entire board.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
TCGPlayer	S$193.96	−38%
SNKRDUNK	S$385	+22%
Yuyutei	S$972	+208%

Why It's Hot: Umbreon is the most chased eeveelution in the hobby, and GX Ultra Shiny secret rares are perennial blue-chip cards. TCGPlayer's US-market pricing has drifted below book while Yuyutei is asking a wild domestic-collector premium — the S$972 ask is more than five times the TCGPlayer floor. This is the value-tier flip at its most extreme.

Singapore Context: At this tier, condition is everything, so buy in person if you can. The Peninsula Plaza shops off North Bridge Road occasionally have GX Ultra Shiny singles in the case — inspect centering and the holo edges under light before committing. If you buy from TCGPlayer, factor in international shipping and the wait; the S$121 saving comfortably absorbs it, but a raw card at this price is a candidate for grading, so handle accordingly.

Verdict: Buy — the TCGPlayer floor is the best Umbreon GX entry we have seen this month. Just verify condition; grade matters enormously here.

2. Espeon V #81 (Eevee Heroes) — 42% off

The Deal: S$90.59 on TCGPlayer versus a S$155.25 PriceCharting baseline — a full 42% under book, the deepest single discount this week.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
TCGPlayer	S$90.59	−42%
SNKRDUNK	S$173	+11%
KyoCards	S$185.09	+19%
Yuyutei	S$268.20	+73%

Why It's Hot: Eevee Heroes remains one of the most popular modern Japanese sets, and the alt-art V cards are the reason. Espeon V is a clean, believable four-platform spread — no anomalies — and TCGPlayer is undercutting even the local floor by a wide margin. Yuyutei at S$268.20 is the value-tier flip again: pretty card, punishing price.

Singapore Context: If you would rather buy local and skip the international shipping, KyoCards at S$185.09 is still under some platforms and ships fast within Singapore. For a S$90 saving, though, TCGPlayer is worth the wait. Bugis-area collectors trading in the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group occasionally list Eevee Heroes alt-arts near the KyoCards level — worth a scan before you commit.

Verdict: Buy — best price of the week on a genuinely liquid, in-demand card.

3. Miriam #105 (Violet ex) — 31% off

The Deal: S$97 on SNKRDUNK against a S$140.95 baseline — and the standout feature here is that every platform is below book this week.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
SNKRDUNK	S$97	−31%
KyoCards	S$115	−18%
Yuyutei	S$115.20	−18%
TCGPlayer	S$135.89	−4%

Why It's Hot: Trainer SIRs like Miriam have cooled from their peak, and the whole market has repriced below PriceCharting's book value. That is a rare "buy from anywhere and still save" situation — SNKRDUNK is simply the cheapest of a uniformly cheap field. On a S$100+ card, SNKRDUNK's authentication is a real bonus at no premium.

Singapore Context: KyoCards at S$115 is the no-fuss local option, and DEKTCG has carried Violet ex singles in the past if you prefer to inspect before buying. This is a good "learner chase card" for collectors stepping up from budget cards.

Verdict: Buy — a soft market means low downside and a clean authenticated floor.

4. Marnie #72 (Shield) — 31% off

The Deal: S$70 on SNKRDUNK versus a S$100.96 baseline — 31% under book on one of the most iconic trainer cards in modern Pokemon.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
SNKRDUNK	S$70	−31%
KyoCards	S$90	−11%
Yuyutei	S$115.20	+14%

Why It's Hot: Marnie's full art from Shield is a permanent want-list card with cross-collector demand, so a 31% discount rarely lasts. SNKRDUNK's floor is well under both the local retailer and Yuyutei's over-book ask.

Singapore Context: Marnie is popular enough that she turns up at physical shops — Bricks Play and the Sim Lim Square TCG stalls have had Shield-era singles in stock. If you find one locally near the KyoCards price, buy it and skip the shipping. Otherwise SNKRDUNK is the value pick.

Verdict: Buy — iconic card, well below book, authenticated. Easy decision.

5. Team Rocket's Nidoking ex #126 (Glory of Team Rocket) — 25% off

The Deal: S$68 on Telegram groups versus a S$91.08 baseline — 25% under book, and this week's best community-sourced deal.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
Telegram Groups	S$68	−25%
SNKRDUNK	S$70	−23%
Yuyutei	S$115.20	+26%

Why It's Hot: Glory of Team Rocket is one of the freshest Japanese sets of 2026, and prices are still finding their level. Telegram sellers clearing early pulls are pricing to move — S$68 undercuts even SNKRDUNK's authenticated floor by a hair.

Singapore Context: This is where the local Telegram trading groups earn their keep. The saving over a retailer is real, but you take on the usual community-buying risks: no authentication, meet-up logistics, and condition you have to verify yourself. Meet in a public spot — the Bugis and Orchard MRT areas are the usual handover points — and inspect before you pay. If you would rather not, SNKRDUNK at S$70 is only S$2 more with authentication included.

Verdict: Buy (with care) — great price, but do your own condition and seller checks.

6. Alakazam EX #203 (Scarlet & Violet 151) — 40% off

The Deal: S$45.19 on TCGPlayer versus a S$75.68 baseline — 40% under book on an SV 151 special art rare.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
TCGPlayer	S$45.19	−40%
KyoCards	S$82	+8%
SNKRDUNK	S$89	+18%
Yuyutei	S$97.20	+28%

Why It's Hot: SV 151 remains one of the most bought-and-sold sets in the hobby, and the SAR cards move constantly. TCGPlayer's deep US supply is undercutting every local and Japanese source here by a wide margin — a textbook case of checking the international price before paying the local one.

Singapore Context: 151 singles are everywhere in Singapore — Peninsula Plaza, Sim Lim, and most local shops stock them — so you can often inspect a copy in person and then decide whether the TCGPlayer saving is worth the wait. At a 40% gap, it usually is.

Verdict: Buy — one of the biggest percentage savings on a highly liquid card.

7. Meowscarada #96 (Triplet Beat) — 36% off

The Deal: S$45 on KyoCards versus a S$70.49 baseline — 36% under book, and this week's best purely-local deal.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
KyoCards	S$45	−36%
SNKRDUNK	S$82	+16%
Yuyutei	S$89.82	+27%

Why It's Hot: No international shipping, no authentication wait — KyoCards has a Triplet Beat chase single at 36% under book, ready to ship within Singapore. When the local retailer is also the cheapest source, that is the cleanest buy on the board.

Singapore Context: This is exactly what makes KyoCards the everyday value champion in our scorecard. For collectors who value speed and simplicity over squeezing the last few dollars from an overseas listing, this is the model deal.

Verdict: Buy — cheapest source and the most convenient. No reason to wait.

8. Mega Venusaur ex #87 (Mega Brave) — 28% off

The Deal: S$50 on KyoCards versus a S$69.42 baseline — 28% under book on a card from one of 2026's newest Mega sets.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
KyoCards	S$50	−28%
SNKRDUNK	S$62	−11%
Yuyutei	S$71.82	+3%
TCGPlayer	S$116.20	+67%
Telegram Groups	S$120	+73%

Why It's Hot: Mega Brave is brand new, and new-set prices are volatile — look at the spread, from S$50 to S$120 for the same card. KyoCards has priced it sensibly under book while TCGPlayer and a Telegram seller are asking nearly 2.4× as much. This is a set where checking the scorecard before buying saves you the most.

Singapore Context: Mega Brave booster boxes and singles are landing in local shops now — Concept City and the Peninsula Plaza stores have had early Mega-era stock. Buy the KyoCards single, and do not pay the TCGPlayer or Telegram ask on a card this fresh.

Verdict: Buy — sensible local price on a hot new set; ignore the outlier high asks.

9. Morpeko ex #115 (Abyss Eye) — 27% off

The Deal: S$38 on SNKRDUNK versus a S$51.99 baseline — 27% under book, with a five-platform spread that tops out at S$128.54.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
SNKRDUNK	S$38	−27%
Yuyutei	S$40.32	−22%
KyoCards	S$44.90	−14%
Carousell	S$50	−4%
TCGPlayer	S$128.54	+147%

Why It's Hot: Abyss Eye singles are still settling, and four of the five platforms are below book — but the S$128.54 TCGPlayer ask is a 238% gap over the SNKRDUNK floor on the same card. It is the clearest "check before you buy" warning on the board: the most expensive listing is not always where you would expect.

Singapore Context: With a Carousell listing at S$50 (−4%), this is also a good local-pickup candidate if you want to avoid shipping entirely — arrange a handover around a central MRT station and inspect the card in person. The SNKRDUNK floor is the outright cheapest, though, and comes authenticated.

Verdict: Buy — cheap, liquid, and a perfect example of why the scorecard matters.

10. Gengar VMAX #2 (Gengar VMAX High-Class) — 31% off

The Deal: S$21.83 on TCGPlayer versus a S$31.52 baseline — 31% under book, and the most affordable entry point on this week's board.

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
TCGPlayer	S$21.83	−31%
Yuyutei	S$44.82	+42%
SNKRDUNK	S$46	+46%

Why It's Hot: Gengar is a cross-generation favourite, and the High-Class VMAX is an accessible chase card. Note that on this cheaper card SNKRDUNK's flat floor (S$46, +46%) makes it the most expensive option — the exact opposite of what happens on the high-value cards above. TCGPlayer is comfortably the cheapest here.

Singapore Context: Under S$25, this is a great card for newer collectors building a themed binder. It shows up regularly in the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group and at budget-single bins in Sim Lim Square — worth a look if you would rather buy locally, though TCGPlayer is the price to beat.

Verdict: Buy — budget-friendly, popular, and 31% under book.

Spotlight: What About CardMarket?

We added CardMarket, the big European marketplace, to our tracking in August 2026. Where it has a listing, it is almost always the cheapest platform — but "where it has a listing" is the catch. Coverage is currently around 2% of tracked cards, skewed to older Western-set singles and bulk commons, and many of its matches are near-zero listings that do not translate into a real Singapore-relevant deal.

The one clean example worth showing this week:

Mega Charizard X ex #13 (Phantasmal Flames) — PriceCharting S$8.78

Platform	Price	vs PriceCharting
CardMarket	S$1.48	−83%
KyoCards	S$4	−54%
Telegram Groups	S$7	−20%
TCGPlayer	S$7.49	−15%

On a genuinely-covered card, CardMarket is dramatically cheaper — S$1.48 against a KyoCards local price of S$4. The problem for Singapore buyers is shipping: a single low-value card from Europe rarely justifies the postage, so CardMarket makes sense mainly if you are consolidating a larger order. For now, treat it as a bonus to check, not a first stop. We expect its coverage to grow through the rest of 2026.

Platform Performance This Week

1. TCGPlayer — cheapest on 4 of the top 10, all high-value modern chase cards (Umbreon GX, Espeon V, Alakazam EX, Gengar VMAX). A reminder that TCGPlayer's high overall median (+46%) hides genuine bargains on specific liquid cards. Always worth checking on chase cards, even with international shipping.
2. SNKRDUNK — cheapest on 3 of the top 10, all above S$50 (Miriam, Marnie, Morpeko). The value-tier flip in action: authentication for free once the card is expensive enough.
3. KyoCards — cheapest on 2 of the top 10 and the everyday value champion (median −11% across 535 listings). The pick when you want it fast, local, and no-fuss.
4. Telegram Groups — best community deal of the week (Nidoking ex, −25%), with the usual caveats around condition and authentication.

Biggest price gaps this week:
- Umbreon GX #229: S$193.96 (TCGPlayer) vs S$972 (Yuyutei) — 401% gap
- Morpeko ex #115: S$38 (SNKRDUNK) vs S$128.54 (TCGPlayer) — 238% gap
- Meowscarada #96: S$45 (KyoCards) vs S$89.82 (Yuyutei) — 100% gap

What to watch:
- New Mega sets (Mega Brave, Mega Symphonia) — prices are still volatile and full of outliers; the spread on Mega Venusaur ex (S$50 to S$120) is a sign the market has not settled. Buy the sensible local floor, not the outlier ask.
- Yuyutei on chase cards — its +57% median on cards over S$50 means you should almost never buy your high-value singles there right now. Fair on everyday cards, pricey on the good stuff.

Local market pulse:
- The Pokemon TCG Singapore scene is increasingly cross-checking international listings before buying, and this week's TCGPlayer wins on chase cards reward exactly that habit.
- Community chatter in the local Telegram trading groups and the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group continues to favour the newest Japanese sets — Abyss Eye, Glory of Team Rocket, and the Mega line.
- Physical stock of SV 151 and Mega-era singles remains strong across Peninsula Plaza, Sim Lim Square, and shops like Bricks Play, DEKTCG and Concept City, so inspecting before you buy is easy this week.

Recommendations by Budget

Budget Collectors (S$100–300/month)

1. Start with Gengar VMAX #2 at S$21.83 (TCGPlayer) — a popular chase card at 31% under book and a perfect binder centrepiece.
2. Add Meowscarada #96 at S$45 (KyoCards) for a fast local buy with no shipping.
3. Use the scorecard: under S$50, always check KyoCards, Telegram and Carousell first, and skip SNKRDUNK — its flat fee makes cheap cards look dear.

Serious Collectors (S$500–1,500/month)

1. Alakazam EX #203 at S$45.19 and Marnie #72 at S$70 are the sweet-spot buys — iconic, liquid, and 31–40% under book.
2. On anything over S$50, add SNKRDUNK and TCGPlayer to your search and treat Yuyutei's chase-card asks with suspicion.
3. Time your buys on the newest sets (Mega Brave, Glory of Team Rocket) — early volatility means the best deals appear and vanish within days.

High-End Collectors (S$2,000+/month)

1. Umbreon GX #229 at S$193.96 (TCGPlayer) is the standout — 38% under book on a blue-chip eeveelution, and a strong grading candidate.
2. Espeon V #81 at S$90.59 pairs naturally with it for an Eevee Heroes / GX Ultra Shiny run.
3. Buy authenticated where you can (SNKRDUNK) or grade raw TCGPlayer pickups — at this tier, provenance and condition drive resale far more than the S$100 you saved at purchase.

How to Lock In These Deals

1. Check the source first — Prices on the newest Japanese sets change within days. Confirm the listing is still live before you act.
2. Verify card condition — A 40% discount means nothing if the card is edge-worn. Ask for photos or inspect in person.
3. Factor in shipping — TCGPlayer and CardMarket savings are real, but international postage and wait times eat into them on cheaper cards. Local pickup wins under S$50.
4. Cross-compare against book — Use our platform scorecard before buying. The value-tier flip means the cheapest platform genuinely changes with the card's price.

What to Watch Next Week

Expect the new Mega sets to keep throwing off wide spreads as supply settles, and keep an eye on whether TCGPlayer's chase-card discounts hold as the exchange rate moves. We will also be watching CardMarket's coverage — if more Japanese singles land, it could reshape the bottom of the scorecard.
