So, you've just bought yourself a Booster Box of Temporal Forces and are wondering if it's worth keeping it sealed? Well you will be surprised to know that there is currently a lot of value locked away in those packs! Let's take a look a what the most expensive cards you can pull from Temporal Forces are and why you should care about the latest Pokémon expansion.
10. Iron Boulder ex 207/162 Special Illustration Rare - £20 - £35
Kicking off our list at number 10 is Iron Boulder ex. This is one of the 6 new legendary Pokémon to join us from Temporal Forces. This set revolves around ancient and future Pokémon who are relatives of much loved Legendary Pokémon and Iron Boulder is said to be the future ascendent of the Pokemon Terrakion. Not only is this card valuable but also features an awesome artwork and even special attacks for use in the Pokémon TCG.
9. Eri 210/162 Special Illustration Rare - £20 - £40
8. Prime Catcher ACE SPEC Trainer Card 157/162 (Holographic Version) - £25 - £40
With the release of Temporal Forces came the re-introduction of ACE SPEC trainer cards. ACE SPEC Cards are trainer cards which are more powerful than normal Trainer or energy cards but are balanced with the restriction that you may only have one in your entire deck. The Prime Catcher card is the perfect example of this as it is a powerful trainer card which garners its value for use in top level decks!
7. Morty's Conviction 211/162 Special Illustration Rare - £30 - £45
For all the Gengar Fans out there, this one is for you! Although a supporter trainer card, the featured Gengar artwork really pushes this card up in value. If you are looking to collect Gengars, this is definitely one to add to the collection.
6. Bianca's Devotion 209/162 Special Illustration Rare - £30 - £60
Temporal forces really has some superb special illustration rare cards especially on its trainer cards. If you are lucky enough to pull Bianca's Devotion from a Booster Pack, not only have you bagged yourself an awesome artwork card but also anywhere from £30 - £60 worth of value. This card is highly collectable and it's easy to see why!
5. Gouging Fire ex 204/162 Special Illustration Rare - £30 - £60
Now things are heating up on our list with Gouging Fire ex! The second this card was released we knew it would be one of the big chase cards of this set coming in at number five on our list. The main draw of this card is of course its beautiful artwork featuring our new Pokémon Gouging Fire ex in a lush green forest surrounded by blooming flowers with light cutting through the tree tops. If you are able to get your hands on one of these cards hang on to it because we are sure this guy will either hold or climb in value significantly!
4. Walking Wake ex 205/162 Special Illustration Rare - £35 - £65
In contrast to Gouging Fire ex we have Walking Wake ex. An ancient version of the legendary Pokemon Suicune, the Walking Wake ex special illustration rare features a vibrant blue and purple tones artwork making it one of the prettiest cards on our list. Walking Wake ex is also featured on the Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box along with Iron Leaves ex, so be sure to check those out on our website!
3. Raging Bolt ex 208/162 Special Illustration Rare- £50 - £80
The 3rd most expensive card to pull from Pokémon Temporal Forces is Raging Bolt ex 208/162 special illustration rare. This card is absolutely stunning featuring our new paradox Pokémon standing to attention whilst a storm rages on in the background. It's important to note that most of the big hitting cards from Temporal Forces are the new paradox Pokémon with the set including six of these cards. Who knows what all six will be worth in the future...
2. Iron Leaves ex 203/162 Special Illustration Rare - £40 - £90
Iron Leaves ex is featured on one of the Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Boxes and also Booster Pack artwork. Iron Leaves ex is ascendent of Virizion and the special illustration rare card featured is absolutely stunning! But is it worth the price?
1. Iron Crown ex 206/162 Special Illustration Rare - £50 - £120
And finally, taking the number one spot on as the most expensive card to pull from Pokémon Temporal Forces is Iron Crown ex. This stunning card features Iron Crown standing upon a tree with blossom climbing up its branches in front of a yellow moon. Temporal Forces has really delivered on bringing hot new cards and for a brand new Pokémon to be reaching the value it has as quickly as it has done from a new set it's fairly applaudable!
Conclusion & Future Predictions About Pokémon Temporal Forces...
Temporal Forces has brought us many new Pokémon and many new products for us to enjoy but lets take a look at it all from an investing point of view. The one thing to note is that Temporal Forces is not a very large set, meaning there isn't too much bloat and filler inside, however this does not stop this set from having one of the worst pull rates of cards from the Scarlet and Violet era of Pokémon. Low pull rates as well as more than 10 cards reaching a value of more than £20 is a great combination for a set which will eventually increase in price over time as demand becomes greater and the product becomes more scarce.
But for now, you should enjoy it! Enjoy the thrill of trying to pull one of these heavy hitters from the Scarlet and Violet era of cards, at least for another year or so...
