I Opened $400 Evolving Skies In 2023...

[@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]

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. 😆

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.

[@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

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

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

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

[@courtneykelley516]

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

[@CP_Consistency]

400 dollars is quite a high price however with all the ult arts and other nice cards in Evolving Skies it may just be worth it

[@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

[@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!

[@Camderz]

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

[@XxOmargee1Xx]

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

[@JusZard]

Agree

[@Blue_Ghost-X]

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.

[@joshgraves9723]

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

[@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 😞

[@LeeshCollects]

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

[@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

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

Lie, u did not see for 99

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

[@pokerooz10]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@tylerwebber2114]

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

[@Elite4StephanPlays]

300+ packs and I still don’t have moonbreon and I’m missing over half of the alt arts, secret rares and it’s just heart breaking. I’ve pulled 4 umbreon v alt arts but 0 rayquaza and moonbreon

[@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

[@ZaloLALO]

Ngl when I just got back into Pokémon a few months ago I did not know about how crazy this set was, and when my sister was opening some and asked me if it was a good set I says “it’s pretty good” completely underrating this entire set and I’m very embarrassed about that anyways thanks for coming to my Ted talk lol

[@LukeyLuke_TyceyWicey]

Somehow the box is worth more than almost all of the top cards in the set

Bro, I remember when this set was like 130 to 150, now it's 400

Dude. That is 100% my experience with Evolving Skies. My kids don’t even want it if I buy it for them. 2 booster boxes and we got 4-5 hits per box. No alt arts. No full sets. Definitely no secret rares lol. Just a few V and Vmax.

At this point I don't care how hard it is to pull stuff from this set, PokeRev should've pulled Moonbreon first pack. But, he's probably saving his rng for when he opens shining fates again and finally gets his hands on his OWN SHINY CHARIZARD VMAX

Back in the day like 2002 yeah! I used to buy 3 boxes 1st edition of the newest set! I did that am play as well! One thing I can say is that the value of a Pokémon card differs from player to collector… most of the expensive cards for collectors are needed for competitive game play! At the end of the day I suppose buying singles cards for game play is better as for collecting I don’t know… my sets are just collecting dust in a heavy well pack box in my house! Lol as for my play cards I just look at the once-while am remember the good old days playing am been a Judge! Good times! Buying a boxe is a very risky! Sometimes it pays off others well!
