Pokémon TCG Hot/Cold List Week of April 27, 2026

The Hot List

Glaceon ex (Prismatic Evolutions 150)

Leading this week’s hot list is the Glaceon ex Special Illustration Rare from Prismatic Evolutions, which has climbed to a market price of around $200. This increase appears to be driven largely by collector demand rather than competitive play.

Gastly (Temporal Forces 177)

Another standout is the Gastly Illustration Rare from Temporal Forces, which has been steadily gaining momentum over the past two weeks before breaking out this week to around $95. This rise highlights a broader halo effect in the market, as soaring prices for premium Gengar chase cards push collectors toward more accessible options to complete their evolution lines.

Darkrai VSTAR (Crown Zenith GG50)

The Galarian Gallery subset from Crown Zenith is seeing renewed interest, with Darkrai VSTAR emerging as one of the biggest gainers. The card has risen sharply in recent months, adding roughly $38 to settle around $94, while near-mint copies on eBay are regularly selling above the $100 mark.

The Cold List

Mega Charizard X ex (Phantasmal Flames 125)

Leading this week’s cold list is the Mega Charizard X ex Special Illustration Rare from Phantasmal Flames. After recently peaking at around $900, the card has started to pull back, settling near $820 as the market corrects.
