Is the Pokémon Market Crashing? What I’m Doing NOW (2026 Investing Strategy)

Is the Pokémon market slowing down and heading into a pokemon bear market, or are we just watching a normal correction? In today’s video, I break down exactly why Pokémon prices are dropping, what’s causing this crash, across Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet products, and—most importantly—what I’m personally doing right now to protect my portfolio and position for long-term gains. We’ll cover macroeconomic pressure (unemployment, liquidity), reprints, restocks, demand cycles, and how these factors impact sealed Pokémon product prices. I compare the current dip to previous cycles, explain why some products are falling harder than others, and show which booster boxes and ETBs I’m accumulating—plus which ones I’m avoiding. If you’re investing in Pokémon sealed product in 2025, this breakdown will help you understand: • Why prices for Scarlet & Violet sets like Prismatic Evolutions, Destined Rivals, and Surging Sparks are reacting the way they are • Which Sword & Shield sets (Evolving Skies, Brilliant Stars, Lost Origin, Chilling Reign) offer the safest risk-adjusted upside • Which out-of-print products carry the lowest reprint risk • How to navigate dips, corrections, volatility, and long-term accumulation Whether you're building a long-term sealed collection or looking for undervalued opportunities in a cooling market, this is my full 2025 Pokémon investing strategy based on current price trends, reprint cycles, and market sentiment.
