Most cards in any set are worth well under a dollar raw; the money is in the holo rares, first-print editions and high grades above. A PSA 10 can be worth ten to a hundred times the raw card, so check centering, corners, edges and surface before you decide whether grading is worth it (see card grading). Prices move with the market; use them as a reference, not an offer.

How to tell a card is from Evolving Skies

  • Chase cards (including the popular Umbreon VMAX and Rayquaza VMAX alternate arts) are numbered above the 203-card main set, e.g. up to 218/203, carrying the 'Rare Rainbow' rarity label; further secret cards up to 237/203 carry 'Rare Secret'.
  • Dragon-type Pokémon in this set (and this set only, within the Sword & Shield era) have extra card-frame decoration.
  • An independent card database confirms card No. 1 of this set carries Regulation Mark E.

Often confused with

  • Japanese 'Skyscraping Perfection' and 'Blue Sky Stream' sub-expansions: Evolving Skies is the English combination of two separate, smaller Japanese sets (plus leftover cards from other Japanese subsets); a Japanese 'Skyscraping Perfection' or 'Blue Sky Stream' card will show a different set symbol/logo than the combined English set.

Notes on this entry

Card-list numbering was cross-checked directly on Bulbapedia: 001/203-203/203 is the main set, 204/203-225/203 are 'Rare Rainbow' alternate arts, and 226/203-237/203 are 'Rare Secret' cards (including three secret basic Energy cards without a printed regulation mark).

Checks that apply to any Pokémon card

  • Bottom-left or bottom-right corner: the set symbol and the collector number (e.g. 4/102) tell you the set; older cards have no symbol at all, which itself narrows them to Base Set.
  • Left of the number: a 1st Edition stamp, if present, sits below the art on WOTC-era cards.
  • Regulation mark (a letter in a box near the bottom, D through H so far) dates modern cards to a two-year window.
  • Back of the card: the blue Poké Ball back has changed little since 1999; a washed-out, blurry or wrongly colored back is the first sign of a fake.

How to photograph it for identification

Lay the card flat on a dark surface in daylight, straight on, with the whole card in frame, then a close-up of the bottom edge where the set symbol, number and any edition stamp sit. Tilt holo cards under the light for a second shot to show the foil pattern. Photograph the back too. The app reads the card and set; the edition and rarity checks above tell you which version you have.
