I remember the Wawa in my town had a basket with like 100 evolving skies booster packs for sale. I’d buy a few everytime I went til they sold out. Still haven’t pulled an alt art and prob never will at this point lol
literally, not just price. The hits were much better in the initial runs (a V or Vmax like every third pack), it's like they took the alt arts out of the reprints. Just horrid.
My guess is Crown Zenith will be next to spike once it's out of rotation. Last English cards with yellow borders, and more full arts than most if any other.
It's been so crazy watching the price of this booster box climb over time, and it's still such a young set! I really like the set and the various alt arts, but the brutal pull rates just make it so tough for me to truly love it.
Evolving Skies, other than the 4 or 5 chase cards is a pretty mediocre set with historically bad pull rates. It's beyond bizarre to me that people like it so much. The Rayquazas and Dragonite are excellent, but that Moonbreon is a pretty boring artwork. It wasn't even popular when Evolving Skies came out until a small handful of people started a buyout and created a frenzy.
@@enthused7591 i mean its subjective, you clearly explained what card you like and don't like, but overall most people vote this set as the most popular of ss
It's a complete joke of a set to me. Pull rates are horrible, yes the alts are awesome but good luck ever pulling them. They needed to print this set into the ground then maybe we'd have a different conversation.
what does this mean, like it will go down in price or get reprinted? I'm debating buying lots of singles for it so curious why you think that and what specifically you mean
On one hand, it's crazy that such a recent set is so expensive. On the other hand, there are so many alt arts in this, not to mention the Eeeveelutions alone which people LOVE, so I also get why it's so expensive. This one is going to keep climbing and climbing for sure! Love this set!
Hey PokeRev, just started getting back into pokemon. One of your vids popped up on my fyp and I cannot stop binge watching them and cannot get over how fantastic the community is. As per usual this video was a banger! Love to see it mate
I can see that. S&V is decent and has good pull rates. But the best card, Miriam SAR is only worth about 130 or less raw. I miss how tough it was to get an alt or even full art. I recently got a Celebi V out of Fusion Strike after a year of buying packs and idk how much I spent for it was so rewarding.
bought my first booster box like 7 years ago which was the evolutions set , afterwards life took over but I’ve slowly been getting back into wanting to collect pokemon cards again and this set has such a beautiful arrangements of art that it’s convincing me to break my bank account.
Evolving Skies was my favorite to open up, because Umbreon is my favorite pokemon, but also because I played Emerald so much as a kid that I could still tell you exactly what to do next. I loved the nostalgia for me, but it's crazy that people wanted this set so bad that prices skyrocketed this badly.
It's crazy how the price has jumped up so much. Would love to open more but sadly the price is way out of my price range. Thanks Rev for all your commitment and hard work you put into your channel
Ngl when I just got back into Pokémon a few months ago I did not know about how crazy this set was, and when my sister was opening some and asked me if it was a good set I says “it’s pretty good” completely underrating this entire set and I’m very embarrassed about that anyways thanks for coming to my Ted talk lol
Dude. That is 100% my experience with Evolving Skies. My kids don’t even want it if I buy it for them. 2 booster boxes and we got 4-5 hits per box. No alt arts. No full sets. Definitely no secret rares lol. Just a few V and Vmax.
My first big pull from my first collection box/packs in forever was the moonbreon!!! I got the fever back again after that and it all started with your videos! Thanks for all the openings!
At this point I don't care how hard it is to pull stuff from this set, PokeRev should've pulled Moonbreon first pack. But, he's probably saving his rng for when he opens shining fates again and finally gets his hands on his OWN SHINY CHARIZARD VMAX
Liked and Subbed! This has to have been a huge commitment to your viewers (like me) to open a 400$ box. Epic video as always, keep up the great work!!!
My local card store is selling loose packs for $11.99 each! Crazy how when I worked at Best Buy I always got evolving skies with my employee discount and pulled some great pieces of art!
I absolutely love this set. Bought a case of booster boxes, before the box price went through the roof, and managed to pull the moonbreon in the first box of the case!! Still chasing that ray ray vmax alt art though!! But the master set is coming along slowly!!
My son and I have opened over 200 of the hanger packs and only pulled two alt arts. We did get a bunch of the full art, rainbow, gold etc., but its a brutal set. My son calls it the green code card set. Enjoyed the video and best of luck to you on the next opening.
Back in the day like 2002 yeah! I used to buy 3 boxes 1st edition of the newest set! I did that am play as well! One thing I can say is that the value of a Pokémon card differs from player to collector… most of the expensive cards for collectors are needed for competitive game play! At the end of the day I suppose buying singles cards for game play is better as for collecting I don’t know… my sets are just collecting dust in a heavy well pack box in my house! Lol as for my play cards I just look at the once-while am remember the good old days playing am been a Judge! Good times! Buying a boxe is a very risky! Sometimes it pays off others well!
I love this set! I was lucky enough to pull the Umbreon Vmax alternate art out of a single check lane blister! Without having a subset it really is an all or nothing set though! Beautiful artworks for sure 🌙
Wow I almost forgot to comment my 2 cents. I love Evolving Skies, my 2nd favorite of S & S next to Crown Zenith. But there pull rate sux butt!!! Just saying. As always You SIR are a LEGEND!!!!!
It is believed that Evolving skies is guaranteed the hardest set to pull with lowest hit rate!!! My stratedy is to to buy some promo box, tin box, those with one or two packs of evolving skies inside mixed with other sets. so you will get it cheaper, because not every seller knows they have it in box, and you can at least get some rare cards from other set packs in box.
I was very surprised when the prices went up but I understand why. I never opened a booster box and I would love to open evolving skies but when I saw the prices I did not buy it. For me it is just too expensive. Love the new scarlet and violet as it is a very interesting base set ❤
Such a beautiful set yet so brutal. This is one of those sets that if you weren’t there when it came out then you missed it.
So true kinda like evolutions, booster boxes were going for around 90 bucks when the set came out, but now there going for around 800 bucks

@@Julesrules28 yep, Evolutions even worse. Even if you pull the Charizard 9 times out of 10 the corners will be factory jacked. Futile.
@@Julesrules28 evolutions is dumb to even buy just buy the cards they have no value
Crazy how a modern box that used to go for around $130 is now $400, crazy !
My guess is Crown Zenith will be next to spike once it's out of rotation. Last English cards with yellow borders, and more full arts than most if any other.
@@harmmoney3397 I agree. Crown zenith is the new skyridge!!
Going to be even crazier in 5 years when a box of Evo skies is 4k. 😆
@@harmmoney3397 100% agreed! Stack them etbs!
@@harmmoney3397 oh yeah man, just because its the last yellow border set means Crown Zenith will be $5k per pack!!! lets go!!!
It's been so crazy watching the price of this booster box climb over time, and it's still such a young set! I really like the set and the various alt arts, but the brutal pull rates just make it so tough for me to truly love it.
The alt arts in the set are insane. I wish I got more of the set when it came out initially
Same I think I only bought 2 packa
Evolving Skies is gonna be one of those sets that stands the test of time. Great video man.
Them pull rates though.....

Evolving Skies will be known where you had to spend $5k to complete the master set.

The Rayquaza artworks are so beautiful! I love this set!
Same
Pullrates prior to the trainer gallery were brutal. So glad Violet and Scarlet have better pullrates
Even with the pull rates, I have a feeling that Evolving Skies will become one of the most collectible sets in the years to come.
what does this mean, like it will go down in price or get reprinted? I'm debating buying lots of singles for it so curious why you think that and what specifically you mean
@@nebula8893it'll go up in price
I have a few boxes of these lol wondering if I should sell all or keep

@@12346fdgim starting to collect Pokémon which packages should I buy there is so many different ones.

Evolving skies is really one of the best sets in swsh era. Love how all the eeveelutions are there. Thanks for the daily videos!
Evolving Skies is such a good set. It’ll definitely be one of those sets to remember when years and years have passed
It’s crazy how kind and nice Poké rev always is with his fans
You’re the best, Poké rev :)
I think it’s believable to have this set at such a high price, the amount of amazing things you can get is unbelievable!
You are absolutely right…look at the amount of amazing things he pulled 😂
@@doneropersaud1607 😂
I love your content Rev. I hope everyone that reads this has a wonderful day
Evolving Skies is such a beautiful set, but I never would've expected it to get so expensive so fast!
That laugh at the end was everything. Pure gold
Love your energy man. It's really what distinguishes your channel from others similar to it.
Evolving skies just hits all the feels for me. Such a good set, too bad the price of it is out of this world
On one hand, it's crazy that such a recent set is so expensive. On the other hand, there are so many alt arts in this, not to mention the Eeeveelutions alone which people LOVE, so I also get why it's so expensive. This one is going to keep climbing and climbing for sure! Love this set!

Tough pulls is what makes this set the all time GOAT!
Another month and it'll be $800 in 2024. Like this comment if it passed $800.
Bro I ripped 9 of these boxes 😑 but I have a master set lol
Already 1100 in aud, lucky I bought a booster box when it released for 200
I saw it for 99 today
Lie, u did not see for 99
U maybe saw a different type of evolution box, def not a booster box
Evolving skies is sick , but scarlet and violet is becoming my favorite now 🔥
Agree
I can see that. S&V is decent and has good pull rates. But the best card, Miriam SAR is only worth about 130 or less raw. I miss how tough it was to get an alt or even full art. I recently got a Celebi V out of Fusion Strike after a year of buying packs and idk how much I spent for it was so rewarding.
400 dollars is quite a high price however with all the ult arts and other nice cards in Evolving Skies it may just be worth it
The fact that Pokémon managed to load this set with so much amazing art is just insane!
2 or 3 extra nice alt arts than Chilling Reign and Fusion Strike, but with identically bad pull rates. This set is below average to me lol
Evolving skies is probably my all time favorite set. Thanks for opening up this expensive box for us to see!
bought my first booster box like 7 years ago which was the evolutions set , afterwards life took over but I’ve slowly been getting back into wanting to collect pokemon cards again and this set has such a beautiful arrangements of art that it’s convincing me to break my bank account.
Do not buy any at these price ranges wait for another set
Evolving Skies was my favorite to open up, because Umbreon is my favorite pokemon, but also because I played Emerald so much as a kid that I could still tell you exactly what to do next. I loved the nostalgia for me, but it's crazy that people wanted this set so bad that prices skyrocketed this badly.
It’s one of the best set in term of contain, but one of the least enjoyable to open. Probably the worst set of the sword shield era for pull rate.
Yes sir all those hits it but very bad pull rate 😞
Evolving Skies is so much fun to open, I just wish the pull rates were a little bit better.
The Moonbrion is the most beautiful art I've seen and Umbrion is so cool
It's crazy how the price has jumped up so much. Would love to open more but sadly the price is way out of my price range. Thanks Rev for all your commitment and hard work you put into your channel
Can’t believe it has hit $400 for a booster box it is so insane, wish the pull rates were better
Makes me wanna go back to collecting. I wish I never threw out my 500 card collection 15yrs ago…
Ngl when I just got back into Pokémon a few months ago I did not know about how crazy this set was, and when my sister was opening some and asked me if it was a good set I says “it’s pretty good” completely underrating this entire set and I’m very embarrassed about that anyways thanks for coming to my Ted talk lol
It’s crazy to think that opening a booster box of this set back when it realeased was just as normal as opening up a newer release set!
Crazy how a modern box that used to go for around $130 is now $400 , crazy
What site is rev using to see price of cards?
Dude. That is 100% my experience with Evolving Skies. My kids don’t even want it if I buy it for them. 2 booster boxes and we got 4-5 hits per box. No alt arts. No full sets. Definitely no secret rares lol. Just a few V and Vmax.
What I got 12 in a box
My first big pull from my first collection box/packs in forever was the moonbreon!!! I got the fever back again after that and it all started with your videos! Thanks for all the openings!
Some people call it moonbreon as it’s close to the moon
The laugh at the end 😂😂😂I love your content sir!!
My family watching your videos all day
I love watching pack openings I'm addicted!
This price is crazy! I remember opening two boosters of this without much to show whatsoever. Paying $800 for that would’ve drove me insane
I can't believe that this set has grown this much in popularity. Poor Rattle not getting his Moonbreon yet...rip
what site do you use to look at the card value like you did in the beginning of this video?
I bought one of those boxes a year ago for $150, didn't get anything fantastic, but I'm glad I got it then instead of now.
Loved the vid as always!
I appreciate you opening the Evo skies box. Very cool vid. Keep it up bud!
The moonbreon makes these set. I love this set ❤❤❤
Very fun video! You actually inspired me to post booster opening videos myself. Love the car/parking lot openings as well. Keep it up!
This is awesome, it's amazing how evolving skies has become so popular and expensive 😅
Already missing the card trick just one set into S&V. Didn’t feel that way until I saw Rev go through the first pack.
What do you use to see the price o the cards
Man evolving skies and Crown Zenith were so nutty
Crazy hell, a modern box that used to go around $130.It's now four hundred dollars crazy
I pulled an Espeon V alt art from a pack of evolving skies. Nicest card I’ve ever pulled…. So far! 😂😂 I’m new at collecting and love your videos man!
Just found your channel and love it. Brings back my childhood memories and got me to start collecting again
Great video as always. Best Pokémon content on RUclips
At this point I don't care how hard it is to pull stuff from this set, PokeRev should've pulled Moonbreon first pack. But, he's probably saving his rng for when he opens shining fates again and finally gets his hands on his OWN SHINY CHARIZARD VMAX

Makes me happy knowing where nearly 60 sleeved boosters are stashed😁
Recently got back into Pokemon, nostalgia really hittin right now. Love the vids
Thanks for another awesome video but bummer about the pulls (or lack of) Nuts!!!
That ending is hilarious 😂
That Rayquaza Alternate Full Art is one of the best arts ever made!
I can’t believe this box is 400$. I think most of the sun and moon booster boxes are at least 500$ now which is insane
My local card store is selling loose packs for $11.99 each! Crazy how when I worked at Best Buy I always got evolving skies with my employee discount and pulled some great pieces of art!
Thank you for opening, I know the financial gain wasn't there but man you make the content more than worth the cost!! Thanks PokéRev
Anyone know what site he uses to see the values of the cards like that?
Honestly, I clicked on the video just to see how much $400 gets you in Evo skies. Crazy that it's only one booster box.
Definitely a set I'd rather keep sealed than open! Can't deny the alt arts are some of the best ever made though so it's certainly tempting!
Can’t believe how much evolving skies I opened for retail. CRAZY!!
$400 is way too crazy! I've opened a couple of the Evolving Skies booster boxes and paid $120 each.
any good pulls?
@@patrodgers7684 both of them I pulled more than the cost. One had Alt Art Leafeon Vmax.

Love the content, keep it up! I can't imagine spending this much on a booster box. Gotta hit that Moonbreon or its a bust.
Or the rayquaza
It makes more sense to leave it sealed investment wise, but I couldn't resist 😅
I will never forget those insaineeee miscuts from your first video that leafeon vmax AA was crazy!!
Wait have i really stopped collecting for that long that this set is now up that much?!?!?! We used to call it evolving CRIES LOL.
Appreciate the content man and thanks for the opportunity 🎉
The fact that just 2 years ago it cost 130$ and now its for 400 😅 is just incredible
It's crazy how this box is now $400. I remember when it was only around $120. I shouldn't have slept on that...
I love the art in ES, wish the pull rates were higher
Love it, pokerev! The art in this set is so beautiful!

Can you explain further to someone who just got back into collecting after 15 years?? I don't think I understand your strategy
I really loveee this set and think it’s amazing to see if you can still get the value out of the box
First time opening up Pokémon what are some of the best modern and English set for cool art work ?
Recently got back into collecting, sad I missed evolving skies. The artwork is too good 😍
Your amazing and random question what website are you using to check for the prices of the cards
Wat was the website he was using to price the cards.? Anyone now..
