Pokemon Sword & Shield Ends | A look back at a grandiose era

One of the biggest American influencers, named Logan Paul discovered the Pokemon TCG as a hobby for himself through COVID-19 and shared it with his numerous fans worldwide.

This led, among other things, to the fact that here in Germany, too, e.g. The Youtuber "Trymacs" caused a real Pokemon hype and numerous products were either completely sold out or overpriced.

The focus was currently on the latest sets at the time, Flaming Darkness, Path of the Champ and Color Shock. In Flaming Darkness there was the Charizard VMAX the Chase card, in Way of the Champ there were 2 more Charizard cards. Once a dazzling Charizard V and a Rainbow Rare Charizard VMAX. In Color Shock, it was again the incredible Rainbow Rare Pikachu. "Trymacs" invested, for example. over approx. €12,000 in color shock, only to draw the Pikachu card yourself (according to your own statements).

On 01.03.2021 a "Special Set" of the Sword & Shield era was launched. Shiny Fate offered an immense number of 0127514 dazzling Pokemon cards in their own subset. The hype was still there and so this set was hardly available at first and if it was, it was often overpriced. As a result of this and because of the beginning of the easing of restrictions. However, COVID-19 gradually flattened out the peak phase of the Pokémon hype and so prices increasingly calmed down.

The absolute highlight was, besides all the dazzling Pokemon, but definitely a dazzling Charizard VMAX.

The next set of Fighting Styles finally marked the decline of the absolute Pokemon hype, but provided the very first alternative artwork cards, which looked incredible and still leave the set positively in the memory.

But other Pokémon such as e.g. For example, the legendary dragon Rayquaza or the popular Pokemon Dragoran received alternative artwork cards.

All in all, this set had incredibly much to offer and, unlike its predecessor Scary Reign, remains unforgotten to this day.

With the incredible Dragon Walk set, a Pokemon hype came up again, and with the upcoming anniversary of Pokemon and the associated anniversary set Celebrations, this was further strengthened.

The set scored particularly well because it included and reissued many iconic cards from 25 years of Pokémon. Of course, there were absolute fan favorites like Charizard, Pikachu or Mewtwo.

The year 2021 ended with the quite good, but due to the sheer flood of new sets, rather mediocre performing set fusion attack. It also included alternative artwork cards, e.g. from Gengar or Psiana. But due to celebrations and Co. it unfortunately went down a bit.

However, the year 2022 started again extremely strongly. the set Radiant Stars was released and this one had Charizard as its mascot. The Pokémon got numerous cards there, but also other, very popular Pokémon such as Pokémon. Arceus or Nachtara got incredible cards there.
