By: Water Pokémon Master · Posted Posted onSep 13, 2024 at 8:50 AM · 9 Comments

Paradise Dragona released in Japan yesterday!

I’ve gathered the average card prices from Mercari, a popular auction website. These prices give us a clue of the initial interest in these cards. These are the most valuable cards in the set:

#91 Arm and Leg
  1. Lisia’s Appeal (SIR): 23,000-27,000 yen ($164-$192)
  2. Latias ex (SIR): 9,000-11,000 yen ($64-$78)
  3. Lisia’s Appeal (FA): 5,500-6,000 yen ($39-$43)
  4. Alolan Exeggutor ex (SIR): 3,000-3,500 yen ($21-$25)
  5. Archaludon ex (SIR): 2,500-3,000 yen ($18-$21)
  6. Drayton (SIR): 2,300-3,000 yen ($16-$21)
  7. Jet Energy (Gold): 2,400-2,900 yen ($17-$21)
  8. Counter Gain (Gold): 1,200-1,800 yen ($9-$13)
  9. Alolan Exeggutor ex (Gold): 1,200-1,600 yen ($9-$11)
  10. Latias ex (FA): 1,000-1,400 yen ($7-$10)
  11. Drayton (FA): 700-900 yen ($5-$6)
  12. Black Kyurem ex (FA): 500-900 yen ($4-$6)

Excluding Illustration Rares, the least valuable secret rares are Drasna ($2-4), Surfer ($3-4), and Cyclizar ex ($3-4).

Latios is the most valuable Illustration Rare at $3-4, likely because its artwork connects to Latias ex. Skarmory is second at $1-3. The rest are around $1-2.

Latias ex’s regular ex is the most valuable of all double rares, at $3-4. Archaludon ex’s is $1-3. The rest are $1 or less.

You can see the full set here and the secret rares here.

The cards from Paradise Dragona and Supercharged Breaker will become part of our Surging Sparks set on November 8th.

"Y'know, I'm sure there's still some folks who want that fancy Lisia card for the actual artwork, what with those special guests they brought on to do it! Those people have dollars AND sense!"
"Too bad the majority of these buyers out here have ALL the dollars and NO sense, then!"
"DOHO! And if this keeps up, soon they'll have NEITHER!!"
"DOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!"

I'm not what you'd call a Muppets expert, but based on the few movies I've seen, from my layman's perspective, you've captured these two's dialogue style down to the finest detail.
 
I KNEW that Latias ex SIR was gonna be absurdly expensive, with how much of a godlike buff it is to basic rulebox decks in this rotation. My Ogerpon/Serperior VSTAR deck will actually gain so much more consistency and be so much faster because I don't have to rely on Beach Court for near global free retreat.

I’m especially excited to hopefully pull (or buy as a single) the SIR Alolan Exeggutor. Have always been an Exeggcute and Exeggutor fan.
