Week over week, the Pokémon market keeps proving that nothing stays quiet for long. Charmeleon led the charge this time — up 486% on the week, sitting at $124.12 right now. Whether that holds is a different question, but the movement was real and worth paying attention to.
Here's the full breakdown of what gained ground and what gave some back.
Biggest Gainers
Charmeleon (024/102) — Uncommon — up 486% to $124.12. It's been moving steadily, and this week the volume picked up enough to push the price.
Minun (004/017) — Rare — up 482% to $50.00. Hard to say if this has legs, but the demand is clearly there at the moment.
Feraligatr (24/70) — Holo Rare — up 465% to $9.04. Collector interest more than competitive demand seems to be driving this one — always worth watching those patterns.
Mimikyu (96/236) — Uncommon — up 447% to $12.20. Solid jump this week. These spikes sometimes retrace fast, so keep an eye on it over the next few days.
Pikachu (052/196) — Common — up 447% to $7.71. The kind of quiet mover that doesn't make headlines until it already moved — classic Pokémon market behavior.
Cards That Gave Back Ground
Not every card had a good week. These dropped off after recent highs — whether that's a correction or the start of a longer slide is the real question.
Dark Dragonair (31/109) — Uncommon — down 97%, now at $6.08. Still worth holding if you pulled it — the floor here isn't nothing.
Nidoking (031/110) — Rare — down 92%, now at $12.83. Could be a short-term dip or the beginning of a longer correction. Probably just the market cooling off.
Eevee (68/113) — Common — down 88%, now at $7.71. These corrections happen. If you were looking to pick one up, this might be a better entry point than last week.
💡 Quick take for the week
Chase movers with caution — Pokémon prices can retrace as fast as they spike. If you pulled something this week that jumped, it's worth checking prices daily for the next few days before you decide to hold or move it.
