Current TCGplayer Market Prices for Scarlet & Violet‑Era Pokémon Booster Boxes (25 July 2025)

The Scarlet & Violet era brought big changes to the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). When the base set launched in March 2023, it introduced silver‑bordered cards, the return of Pokémon ex, new rarity symbols, and type‑shifted Tera Pokémon. Since then the era has expanded with themed sets that explore ancient/future timelines, return ACE SPEC cards and highlight characters from the video‑game expansions. To gauge the health of the Scarlet & Violet sealed product market, I looked at TCGplayer’s sealed product listings for each set’s booster box. All prices quoted below are the market price for an unopened booster box (English edition) as of 25 July 2025.

*Prices are TCGplayer’s market price for an unopened booster box on 25 July 2025; actual sale prices can vary by seller.

Scarlet & Violet Base Set – SV01

Released 31 March 2023, this inaugural set ushered in silver borders, new rarity symbols and the return of Pokémon ex. It contains cards such as Gyarados ex and Miraidon ex.On TCGplayer, an unopened base‑set booster box sells for around $217tcgplayer.com. That price has remained relatively stable for several months due to plentiful supply. Collectors who want the first printing of the era or chase the original special illustration rares keep demand steady, but it lacks the high‑value chase cards found in later sets.

Paldea Evolved – SV02

The Paldea Evolved set (released 6 June 2023) focuses on evolved forms of the Paldean starters—Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex and Quaquaval ex—alongside the Ruinous Quartet (Chien‑Pao ex, Ting‑Lu ex, etc.). It also features high‑rarity versions of Iono.Demand has dramatically pushed its sealed value higher. TCGplayer’s market price for an unopened box is around $358 tcgplayer.com—the highest of any Scarlet & Violet set to date. Part of this premium comes from the powerful Iono card, which is highly sought after in both competitive and collector circles. Limited reprints have kept supply tight, so prices have continued to rise.

Obsidian Flames – SV03

Released 11 August 2023, Obsidian Flames showcases a Dark‑type Charizard ex as well as Terastal Pokémon like Tyranitar ex and Vespiquen ex. Despite early hype, its price has settled near $227 tcgplayer.com. While Charizard collectors keep interest high, this set was printed heavily and doesn’t include many high‑value secret rares beyond the Charizard ex. Its booster boxes remain moderately priced relative to other mid‑era sets.

Paradox Rift – SV04

Paradox Rift (released 3 November 2023) introduced Ancient and Future Pokémon mechanics and added type‑shifted Tera Pokémon. It contains standout cards like Iron Valiant ex and Roaring Moon ex.TCGplayer lists sealed boxes at roughly $215 tcgplayer.com. The set’s price is modest because none of its chase cards match the monetary value of Iono or Charizard, yet demand remains steady from players who enjoy the Ancient/Future archetypes.

Temporal Forces – SV05

Launched 22 March 2024, Temporal Forces continues the Ancient/Future theme and marks the return of ACE SPEC cards. The set features Raging Bolt ex, Walking Wake ex, and Iron Crown ex.Boxes currently command around $230 tcgplayer.com. Although ACE SPEC cards are mechanically powerful, they’ve been printed at a moderate rarity. Consequently, prices hover slightly above the base set but below the more lucrative Iono‑driven Paldea Evolved or Destined Rivals.

Twilight Masquerade – SV06

Twilight Masquerade (released 24 May 2024) centers on the Kitakami region and introduces Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, Sinistcha ex, and Ogrepon forms. It also adds more ACE SPEC cards.On TCGplayer, sealed boxes go for about $278 tcgplayer.com. The set enjoys strong collector appeal thanks to beautiful illustration rares and the mysterious Ogrepon cards. Supply has been lower than earlier sets, which has kept prices higher.

Stellar Crown – SV07

Launched 13 September 2024, Stellar Crown features Terastallized Pokémon like Terapagos ex, Cinderace ex and Galvantula ex. It continues to showcase ACE SPEC cards.The market price of an unopened booster box is about $222 tcgplayer.com. While the set introduces appealing ex cards, none have become high‑value staples yet, keeping the box price similar to Obsidian Flames and Paradox Rift.

Surging Sparks – SV08

Released 8 November 2024, Surging Sparks explores a tropical, electric‑themed region. Its star card is Stellar Tera Pikachu ex, accompanied by dragons such as Archaludon ex and Latias ex and several ACE SPEC trainers.The current market price for a sealed box is around $240 tcgplayer.com. Prices spiked at release, and although they have moderated, the popularity of Pikachu and dragon ex cards keeps demand steady.

Journey Together – SV09

Journey Together (released 28 March 2025) celebrates Trainer–Pokémon pairings, featuring cards like Hop’s Zacian ex, Lillie’s Clefairy ex and N’s Reshiram ex. Each card pairs a familiar trainer with their signature Pokémon.An unopened box currently costs about $241 tcgplayer.com. The set has numerous beloved characters, which boosts demand; however, most cards are more sentimental than competitive, so prices remain mid‑range.

Destined Rivals – SV10

Released 30 May 2025, Destined Rivals continues the Trainer–Pokémon theme and introduces rivalry dynamics. It includes cards like Giovanni’s Mewtwo ex, Cynthia’s Garchomp ex and Arven’s Mabosstiff ex. A fan‑favorite secret rare is “Choose your side” featuring Team Rocket.TCGplayer’s market data shows sealed boxes selling for roughly $285 tcgplayer.com, placing it among the most expensive sets of the era. Early scarcity, plus high demand for iconic trainers like Cynthia and Giovanni, drives prices upward. The set is still new, so prices could fluctuate as more supply enters the market.

Overall trends

The Scarlet & Violet era’s booster box prices reveal some interesting patterns:

• Iono effect. Paldea Evolved commands the highest price (~$358) tcgplayer.com largely because of Iono’s competitive playability and desirable illustration rare. Demand far outstrips supply.

• New‑set premium. Recently released sets (Twilight Masquerade, Surging Sparks, Journey Together and Destined Rivals) show elevated prices—often above $240—because of limited initial supply and the collector excitement around new mechanics and beloved characters tcgplayer.com tcgplayer.com.

• Stable mid‑range. Sets like Obsidian Flames, Paradox Rift and Stellar Crown hover around $215–$225 tcgplayer.comtcgplayer.comtcgplayer.com. They have popular cards but no single chase card dominating value.

• Base‑set nostalgia. Despite being nearly two years old, the base set remains around $217 tcgplayer.com, showing that original sets maintain value as entry‑level sealed product, but their price is tempered by larger print runs.

For collectors and players in July 2025, Scarlet & Violet booster boxes offer a variety of price points. Paldea Evolved and Destined Rivals sit at the top end for those chasing high‑value illustration rares or iconic characters, while Paradox Rift and the base set provide more affordable entry points. As more sets release and reprints occur, these prices could shift, but current data from TCGplayer highlights how demand, card desirability and print run size shape the sealed market.
