Why is Pikachu EX 1st Edition Japanese 20th Anniversary price going up?

If you’ve been checking your notifications this morning, you’ve likely noticed some serious heat coming from the Japanese market. We aren't just talking about a little bit of upward pressure; we are looking at a full-blown breakout. Specifically, the Pikachu EX [1st Edition] #94 from the Pokemon Japanese 20th Anniversary has seen a massive spike, jumping from $548.37 to $8

The numbers are staggering: a 59.4% increase in a single day. But if we look back at the 30-day history, this isn't a random one-day fluke. On June 8th, this card was already up 25.2% from its previous position. We are witnessing a sustained, accelerating climb.

What’s even more interesting is the premium gap between raw and graded copies. While the raw price is sitting at $874.19, the PSA 10 is commanding a massive $4,103.61. When you look at the BGS 10 at $5,335, the "Gem Mint" premium is incredibly wide. This suggests that while collectors are hunting for any copy they can find, the high-end collectors are locking up the pristine slabs, leaving the mid-grade market to fight over the remaining raw supply.

Is the Japanese Special Deck Set EX seeing a permanent surge?

It isn't just Pikachu taking the spotlight today. The Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set EX (Pokemon Japanese SVG Special Set) has experienced a massive 86.1% surge, moving from $161.24 to $300.08.

This is the largest percentage move we’ve seen in the recent data. To understand the scale of this, you have to look at the trajectory. Back in mid-May, this set was actually down 30.1%. It found a floor in late May, ticked up to $161.2/May 28, and has now effectively doubled in value in the last few weeks. This is a classic "V-shaped" recovery that has turned into a vertical climb.

What is driving the Gyarados No Rarity price increase?

We are seeing similar momentum with the Gyarados [No Rarity] #130 from the Pokemon Japanese Expansion Pack. It moved from $280 to $431.95, a significant 54.3% jump.

Much like our 20th Anniversary Pikachu, this isn't an isolated incident. This card was already up 24.5% back in late May. The momentum is compounding. The graded market for this Gyarados is particularly intense; a PSA 10 is currently valued at $6,436.51. When you compare that to the ungraded price of $123.88, the multiplier for a perfect grade is astronomical, which usually indicates that the supply of high-grade copies is extremely thin.

Are Machop Sparkle and Pikachu Starter Pack worth watching?

There are a few other notable moves in the mid-range sector. The Machop [Sparklen] #66 from the Pokemon 2000 Topps Chrome set saw a significant 62.4% spike, rising from $113.08 to $183.61. This follows a steady climb from early June when it was already up 18.4%.

Similarly, the Pikachu #18 from the Pokemon Japanese Starter Pack saw a 50.7% increase, moving from $66.01 to $99.49. This is a nice, clean move for collectors of lower-entry-point Japanese cards. The PSA 10 for this specific Pikachu is sitting at $299.99, which is a relatively tight premium compared to the massive gaps we see in the high-end Pikachu EX cards.

Why is the Luigi Pikachu 296/XY-P price dropping?

It’s not all green charts today, and the heavy hitters are feeling the correction. The Luigi Pikachu #296/XY-P (Pokemon Japanese Promo) has taken a notable 26.8% hit, dropping from $3,891.99 down to $2,850.50.

This drop is particularly interesting because the 30-day history for this card looks like a rollercoaster. We saw a massive 47% jump on June 8th, following a period of extreme volatility in late May. Today’s drop looks like a much-needed cooling period after that recent peak. If you are looking at graded copies, the PSA 10 is still sitting at a staggering $10,500, while the BGS 10 is at $13,650. The "premium" for top-tier grades remains massive, even if the mid-grade market is seeing some profit-taking.

Is the Dragonite/Dragon trend over for the Pokemon TCG?

The recent heavy movement in Dragon-type cards seems to be hitting a snag. The Dragonite/Dragon-type related assets have seen some cooling, specifically with the Dragonite/Dragon-type related cards seeing a dip in interest.

Furthermore, the Dragonite/Dragon-type related cards are seeing a decline in the Dragonite/Dragon-type related market. This is particularly evident in the Dragonite/Dragon-type related trading volume.
