Released on November 11, 2022, Silver Tempest (SWSH12) closes the Sword & Shield era.

The alternate art Lugia V, far ahead
No surprise: the Lugia V (186/195) alternate art is still the set's chase card, with a market price of $517.78 and the cheapest listing at $429.99. On Cardmarket, where every language of the card is sold together, it is clearly going down: its sales average €381.38 over the last 7 days against €550.88 over 30 days.
