The price will goUP

Predicted Apr 17, 2026

Raw and graded prices climbed steadily over the last three months.

I think it will go up over the next three months. Near Mint raw copies climbed steadily, and PSA 10 copies jumped nearly $475 in the last 90 days. Set a buy target near $723 for a raw copy or $2,000 for a PSA 10.

Why the Oracle sees it this way

The Rare Rainbow Rayquaza VMAX from Evolving Skies is showing a consistent upward trend. Over the last three months, the report-day price for a Near Mint copy climbed from about $664 to $723. Graded copies show an even larger move: PSA 10 copies went from $1,525 to roughly $2,000 in that same 90-day window, trading hands 171 times in the last month alone. This card looks like one of the main chases from a very popular set. Even though PSA has recorded over 14,000 PSA 10 copies, the card still sells frequently. With it being easy to buy and sell and both raw and graded prices pointing up, the trend is clearly upward.

At over $720 raw and $2,000 graded, this is an expensive modern card. If the broader hobby slows down, expensive pieces can see larger dollar-value price swings.
