Perhaps due to the Ultra Ball secret rare being the first of the full-art gold Trainer cards we saw when Sun & Moon were released there was more hype surrounding it which reflected its price in 2017, but it is surprising to see in the UK that some sellers on Facebook groups are selling the Quick Ball full art as low as $25-30. Quick Ball may not seem as obviously powerful as Ultra Ball as you can only use it to search for Basic Pokémon, however don't be fooled by the much lower price tag for this Secret Rare, Quick Ball is THE best Trainer card from Sword & Shield and already the vast majority of decks have this card as a four-of in their lists. That card went as high as $80-90 around the time of the set launch. Many people that came into both collecting and playing the Pokémon TCG after the release of Sun & Moon base set will remember the hype and excitement surrounding the full art Ultra Ball trainer card that released in 2017. This factory, combined with her popularity, makes these versions of Marnie another card that's likely to drop in price much in the short-term.Ģ - Quick Ball Secret Rare 216/202 ($44.98)
Like with Professor's Research above, Marnie will see a lot of play in competitive tournament decks over the next three years, hence the current price tag for both arts of this full art Trainer. What makes it even more powerful is that the cards you shuffle in beforehand get put to the bottom of the deck, meaning you'll always get to draw a fresh five cards. You get to draw five cards where as your opponent only gets to draw four. Long story short, Marnie is a beefed up version of the Judge Supporter card from previous sets. Marnie is possibly one of the most popular new characters amongst Pokémon video game fans, so it's not a surprise that her powerful full art Trainer cards are both extremely sought-after. Until we get a promo card (perhaps in our Spring tins) of Zacian V, don't expect any versions of to drop under $25 before that happens.ģ - Marnie Full Art 200/202 ($37.98) & Marnie 208/202 ($39.98) I've spent the past month testing different versions of decks that use Zacian V and I'd have to agree that it's power level accurately reflect the current prices ($29.94 for the regular art card), especially as you need a minimum of three copies of the card. The ability also can be useful in both the early and later stages of the game.
Mascot Pokémon from new generations are often usually popular when a Base Set of cards come out.Įven if you aren't a player of the game, its easy to see that doing 230 damage for three Energy, with only a minor drawback, is a really powerful attack. Perhaps the only reason these cards aren't pricier than they are now is because Professor Magnolia (who is featured on the card) isn't as popular of a character as Marnie, Sonia and other younger-looking characters in the Sword & Shield video games.ĭespite no official tournaments being able to use Sword & Shield cards until February 21st, new legendary Pokémon Zacian V has received a ton of hype after doing well in many different events in Japan.
Many decks over the next three years will use 3-4 copies of these cards. Many players of the Pokémon TCG will recognise the powerful effect of Professor's Research straight away, having the same card text as Professor Sycamore & Professor Juniper in the past.ĭespite discarding your entire hand, drawing seven new cards is incredibly powerful and allows you to find your key Pokémon and other items much easier than with Cynthia and Lillie from previous sets. Just so the Top 5 list isn't dominated with these new full art Trainer cards, I've decided to group both of the two arts together as their prices are similar. All prices (US Dollars) on this list are accurate as of, and are taken directly from the lowest available prices from, one of the largest Pokémon TCG marketplaces in the world.ĥ – Professor's Research Full Art 201/202 ($31.98) & Hyper Rare 209/202 ($37.98)
