TCGplayer Pokémon Card Report: Gengar & Mimikyu-GX Up $177.09 in August

Gengar & Mimikyu-GX Alternate Full Art 165/181 from Team Up gained $177.09 to reach a reported Market Price of $1,764.71 in TCGplayer’s August 2026 Pokémon price-trends report, published September 1. It was the largest dollar increase among cards that started above $50.

The report covers English Near Mint copies with at least 10 sales from August 1 through August 30. Every amount below belongs to that dated marketplace snapshot; later TCGplayer product-page values may differ.

The same duo, two separate printings

Pokémon’s official TCG database identifies 165/181 as a Team Up Ultra Rare illustrated by Midori Harada and 186/181 as a Team Up Rainbow Rare illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Both are physical 240 HP TAG TEAM Pokémon cards, but their card numbers and printings make them distinct records. The Rainbow Rare gained $59.18 to reach $458.72 in the report.

Sparkling Crystal shows why the exact number matters just as much. Prize Pack Series Eight 129/131 rose $17.41 to $24.67, while the visually similar Series Seven 142/142 could be found around $5 when the report was written.

Charizard, Mew, and the rest of the list

The other three cards in the higher starting-price group were:

• Base Set Charizard: up $68.13 to $868.56
• Charizard-GX Secret from Burning Shadows: up $91.02 to $698.31
• Southern Islands Mew: up $110.47 to $578.20

Among the lower starting-price entries, Gym Badge (Sabrina) gained $12.45 to $49.99, Eevee 11/12 from McDonald’s Promos 2018 gained $14.14 to $37.99, Poké Ball SWSH146 gained $17.31 to $42.90, and Lugia BREAK gained $19.38 to $44.30.

Why a monthly move can look unusually large

TCGplayer says one buyer purchased five Eevee promo copies on August 11, leaving only four listings when the report was written. Recorded sales ranged from $24 to $139. It also says 26 copies of Poké Ball SWSH146 were purchased on August 8. Thin supply or concentrated buying can amplify a monthly Market Price move; that movement alone does not establish broad demand.

For clean collection records, match the card number, printing, language, condition, and sold-data date before comparing values. Sales volume and later transactions can change the figure, so these amounts should remain labeled as the August 1–30 English Near Mint snapshot.
