[coolcorsola]

Gen 5 yayyyy!

 

[Grim Thoughts]

Not surprised about Victini’s popularity. I am somewhat surprised on Genesect’s lower popularity. More Genesect for me

 

[actually_yeah]

That Seismitoad card looks incredible. Perfect for him/her !

 

[Maggswell]

Does anyone know where these prices are taken from?

 

[Alex Hesketh]

Snivy and Duosion mention less go

 

[montrovy]

I'm surprised how cheap the Keldeo is going for. I thought that card was absolutely stunning tbh. I'm also quite content with the price of the N's plot SIR - easy enough pickup if I don't get lucky myself

I believe WPM has said in the past that it is aggregate data from localized Japanese versions of ebay/TCGplayer

 

[SlumberingWeald]

As someone who pretty much just buys singles, I love how affordable this set is. The Reshiram and Zekrom SARs will definitely be coming down in price too

Amoongus = S tier

 

[Hunga]

Since many don't know - Chandelure is one of the most popular Pokémon in Japan!
In a popularity ranking it made it to the top 5 (I think it was even 3th?!), so if you consider that it makes a lot of sense.
Just in the West the card won't see such a price I'm sure since it isn't that popular.

Genesect seems very playable in Gholdenhgo ex

 

[ztnoob]

Next will be gen 7

If that happens we are getting a Lillie SIR, which will be the next big card in japan probably

I just want my boy Necrozma to shine like he never did. Don’t care about the rest

I mean…pokemon could just do like a separate expansion that features it, doesn’t need to be gen 7 as literally no one likes it except for the Lillie and Lusamine simps
