[@Iancarlos1019]

Such a beautiful set yet so brutal. This is one of those sets that if you weren’t there when it came out then you missed it.

[@Julesrules28]

So true kinda like evolutions, booster boxes were going for around 90 bucks when the set came out, but now there going for around 800 bucks

[@jakmac13]

I remember the Wawa in my town had a basket with like 100 evolving skies booster packs for sale. I’d buy a few everytime I went til they sold out. Still haven’t pulled an alt art and prob never will at this point lol

[@phantom_68]

literally, not just price. The hits were much better in the initial runs (a V or Vmax like every third pack), it's like they took the alt arts out of the reprints. Just horrid.

[@phantom_68]

@@Julesrules28 yep, Evolutions even worse. Even if you pull the Charizard 9 times out of 10 the corners will be factory jacked. Futile.

[@tonygonzalez9882]

@@Julesrules28 evolutions is dumb to even buy just buy the cards they have no value

[@diegoramirez4439]

Crazy how a modern box that used to go for around $130 is now $400, crazy !

[@harmmoney3397]

My guess is Crown Zenith will be next to spike once it's out of rotation. Last English cards with yellow borders, and more full arts than most if any other.

[@Faber0k]

​@@harmmoney3397 I agree. Crown zenith is the new skyridge!!

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodViking]

Going to be even crazier in 5 years when a box of Evo skies is 4k. 😆

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodViking]

​@@harmmoney3397 100% agreed! Stack them etbs!

[@misakufx]

@@harmmoney3397 oh yeah man, just because its the last yellow border set means Crown Zenith will be $5k per pack!!! lets go!!!

[@moffettg]

The alt arts in the set are insane. I wish I got more of the set when it came out initially. Here’s hoping for a reprint

[@samanthatargaryen1652]

It's been so crazy watching the price of this booster box climb over time, and it's still such a young set! I really like the set and the various alt arts, but the brutal pull rates just make it so tough for me to truly love it.

[@KingPekeV1]

Pullrates prior to the trainer gallery were brutal. So glad Violet and Scarlet have better pullrates

[@ben8630]

Hey PokeRev, just started getting back into pokemon. One of your vids popped up on my fyp and I cannot stop binge watching them and cannot get over how fantastic the community is. As per usual this video was a banger! Love to see it mate

[@donniering7782]

Love your energy man. It's really what distinguishes your channel from others similar to it.

[@DamaCollectsCards]

Evolving Skies is gonna be one of those sets that stands the test of time. Great video man.

[@farva_23]

Them pull rates though.....

[@enthused7591]

Evolving Skies, other than the 4 or 5 chase cards is a pretty mediocre set with historically bad pull rates. It's beyond bizarre to me that people like it so much. The Rayquazas and Dragonite are excellent, but that Moonbreon is a pretty boring artwork. It wasn't even popular when Evolving Skies came out until a small handful of people started a buyout and created a frenzy.

[@obiwon76]

Evolving Skies will be known where you had to spend $5k to complete the master set.

[@Dragonor999]

@@enthused7591 i mean its subjective, you clearly explained what card you like and don't like, but overall most people vote this set as the most popular of ss

[@RichardRogers718]

It's a complete joke of a set to me. Pull rates are horrible, yes the alts are awesome but good luck ever pulling them. They needed to print this set into the ground then maybe we'd have a different conversation.

[@Snortxskii]

I love this set but scarlet and voilet is probably one of my favorite sets because it’s introducing such amazing new Pokémon cards to the table can’t wait to see what the next set is!🤯🤯🤯

[@conquestpulls]

That laugh at the end was everything. Pure gold

[@brandonb6239]

Even with the pull rates, I have a feeling that Evolving Skies will become one of the most collectible sets in the years to come.

[@nebula8893]

what does this mean, like it will go down in price or get reprinted? I'm debating buying lots of singles for it so curious why you think that and what specifically you mean

[@akbullies4036]

​@@nebula8893it'll go up in price

[@MasterRobbe]

Love your content. You don’t open these packs too fast or too slow which is great.

The Rayquaza artworks are so beautiful! I love this set!

[@levidagadag7814]

Same

[@hsvmalooboy6077]

It's crazy how the price has jumped up so much. Would love to open more but sadly the price is way out of my price range. Thanks Rev for all your commitment and hard work you put into your channel

[@devingreene1855]

Evolving Skies was my favorite to open up, because Umbreon is my favorite pokemon, but also because I played Emerald so much as a kid that I could still tell you exactly what to do next. I loved the nostalgia for me, but it's crazy that people wanted this set so bad that prices skyrocketed this badly.

[@completelypurplexed6578]

Evolving Skies is such a beautiful set, but I never would've expected it to get so expensive so fast!

[@MikeSwitch94]

it's so insane to me how much this set has grown in value in such a short time, but such a fire set

[@tylerwebber2114]

Evolving Skies is so much fun to open, I just wish the pull rates were a little bit better.

[@DarkAngl-cb4zl]

Just found your channel and love it. Brings back my childhood memories and got me to start collecting again

[@duhitz_madz]

Evolving Skies is such a good set. It’ll definitely be one of those sets to remember when years and years have passed

[@Ehfhej]

I think it’s believable to have this set at such a high price, the amount of amazing things you can get is unbelievable!

Tough pulls is what makes this set the all time GOAT!

[@seriouspokemon2766]

Very fun video! You actually inspired me to post booster opening videos myself. Love the car/parking lot openings as well. Keep it up!

[@eclipsezzz8766]

Evolving skies is really one of the best sets in swsh era. Love how all the eeveelutions are there. Thanks for the daily videos!

[@jordoncassidy2911]

The moonbreon has got to be my favourite card out of every set, but it is so hard to pull. Let's see your luck this time, Rev🔥

[@DanWalker0495]

So close to completing my SV base set now ! Love watching the vids rev!

[@WoutFP]

Love these kind of videos man! Fun to revisit these old set.

[@courtneykelley516]

I love your content Rev. I hope everyone that reads this has a wonderful day

[@rdzii8460]

Evolving skies just hits all the feels for me. Such a good set, too bad the price of it is out of this world

[@AmmoOnTheAir]

Already missing the card trick just one set into S&V. Didn’t feel that way until I saw Rev go through the first pack.

[@claybistline5975]

I’m glad I kept a few booster boxes, hoping that they get more expensive over time

[@sammurphy1103]

I wonder how Paldea Evolved will compare to Evolving Skies. They both have Evolve in their name so maybe they’ll be similar in terms of the number of amazing cards that you can pull. Looking forward to it!

[@freddywop1738]

Some of the cards leaked and omg soooo gooddddd

[@tot.musica]

On one hand, it's crazy that such a recent set is so expensive. On the other hand, there are so many alt arts in this, not to mention the Eeeveelutions alone which people LOVE, so I also get why it's so expensive. This one is going to keep climbing and climbing for sure! Love this set!

[@nykamuijs5078]

I really loveee this set and think it’s amazing to see if you can still get the value out of the box

[@ethanblevins5237]

I love watching pack openings I'm addicted!

[@joshgraves9723]

Evolving skies is probably my all time favorite set. Thanks for opening up this expensive box for us to see!

[@itsmorphintime93]

Another month and it'll be $800 in 2024. Like this comment if it passed $800.

[@danleonardoyo3946]

Bro I ripped 9 of these boxes 😑 but I have a master set lol

[@cubeGen]

Already 1100 in aud, lucky I bought a booster box when it released for 200

[@Elli_.]

I saw it for 99 today

[@cubeGen]

Lie, u did not see for 99

[@cubeGen]

U maybe saw a different type of evolution box, def not a booster box

[@anasramadan6524]

The rayquaza artwork is beautiful!! I love it

[@PokeAddikt]

what site do you use to look at the card value like you did in the beginning of this video?

[@CamdenBailey73]

The fact that Pokémon managed to load this set with so much amazing art is just insane!

[@enthused7591]

2 or 3 extra nice alt arts than Chilling Reign and Fusion Strike, but with identically bad pull rates. This set is below average to me lol

[@tjadewf]

$400 for a 2 year old set is absolutely insane,, really has me wondering what it’ll be worth a couple years from now

[@GepenetreerdeDuif]

5k

[@dylanwalton73]

I absolutely love this set. Bought a case of booster boxes, before the box price went through the roof, and managed to pull the moonbreon in the first box of the case!! Still chasing that ray ray vmax alt art though!! But the master set is coming along slowly!!

[@cereal_monster1021]

It’s crazy to think that opening a booster box of this set back when it realeased was just as normal as opening up a newer release set!

[@Joaquinkouri]

It’s crazy how kind and nice Poké rev always is with his fans You’re the best, Poké rev :)

[@pingpongkid-vd5ou]

I wish I could afford to open Evolving Skies, so many incredible artworks!

Liked and Subbed! This has to have been a huge commitment to your viewers (like me) to open a 400$ box. Epic video as always, keep up the great work!!!

Evolving skies was sick and even catching a wu chien in Pokémon scarlet

I am a paldaea master

[@XxOmargee1Xx]

Evolving skies is sick , but scarlet and violet is becoming my favorite now 🔥

[@JusZard]

Agree

[@procrunchie4899]

I can see that. S&V is decent and has good pull rates. But the best card, Miriam SAR is only worth about 130 or less raw. I miss how tough it was to get an alt or even full art. I recently got a Celebi V out of Fusion Strike after a year of buying packs and idk how much I spent for it was so rewarding.

[@TheLilclown666]

Your amazing and random question what website are you using to check for the prices of the cards

[@berndhetzl591]

Love it, pokerev! The art in this set is so beautiful!

[@brianherrera3952]

bought my first booster box like 7 years ago which was the evolutions set , afterwards life took over but I’ve slowly been getting back into wanting to collect pokemon cards again and this set has such a beautiful arrangements of art that it’s convincing me to break my bank account.

[@straightkushin977]

Do not buy any at these price ranges wait for another set

[@chandonnetus]

It’s one of the best set in term of contain, but one of the least enjoyable to open. Probably the worst set of the sword shield era for pull rate.

[@Pokevenom_1]

Yes sir all those hits it but very bad pull rate 😞

[@brettlopes9120]

These arts are so cool!!! I just wish I had opened them more and kept sealed product.

[@brooklynmoore7705]

Love your vids! I cant wait to get more cards to open, your videos get me super hyped to buy more packs to open!

[@mi2057]

This is a great video

[@pokenips]

I absolutely loaded up on cases of this set to keep sealed.. and I bet a decent amount of us did. This set was under $100 on Amazon at one point and I got my first Moonbreon from one of those. Sealed sets always go for more than card value.. just look at steam siege, which it's top card under $10. Everything about this set screamed "keep some of me sealed for 2046 50th anniversary boom." Kids of today will want to open this set, and it had too many good arts for the set not to get crazy expensive sealed. Over $20T is going to be passed onto the next generation over the next 20 years. The pandemic has shown us what people purchase with free money... Pokemon went absolutely bonkers. This set will be notorious forever. It does have brutal pull rates... but so does Chilling Reign, Fusion Strike, etc. If pull rates were better, card values would have been too low to keep money burners interested. Why were people paying $1,000 for evolutions? No one knows... but this set will forever be nostalgic. Keep them sealed for the next generation in 2046. This set will have more generations that can afford it. It will keep going up and pass the way older sets. In 25 years there is not much of a difference in age from 2016 sets or 2021 sets... 25 vs 30 years old. Vintage will be vintage. And this will be the most sought after set.

[@typicalfuriousgamer4859]

Thus the reason why the price is so high ... If everyone didn't hoard, some collectors might be able to get their hands on this stuff.

[@pokenips]

@@typicalfuriousgamer4859 this and Vmax climax were the only two sword and shield BB's I really stacked up on. Arceus GameStop exclusive when that hit $69.99 (people will eventually want to collect every metal card), as well as the Pokemon Center Crown Zenith ETB plus boxes. Knowing the Pokemon cycle, it's difficult to justify opening these. And it'll be appreciated by future generations that were two young to get their hands on BB's. Our generation has opened enough of these, imo. Save some for future generations. It'll always be regarded as the top set, imo. And the price will only rise on this as the cheapest ones get bought out.

[@pokerooz10]

Can’t believe it has hit $400 for a booster box it is so insane, wish the pull rates were better

[@adrianlaughman2934]

I love the alternate art eeveelutions, pulled the Leafeon the other day

[@Gokublackfan4]

Some people call it moonbreon as it’s close to the moon

[@gamingwithfoss]

This price is crazy! I remember opening two boosters of this without much to show whatsoever. Paying $800 for that would’ve drove me insane

Makes me wanna go back to collecting. I wish I never threw out my 500 card collection 15yrs ago…
