Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO hit in 2022 as a Sword & Shield set built around the mobile game's 25-year cultural moment. Seventy-eight cards total, sitting squarely in the era when V-type mechanics and alternate art variants were driving the secondary market. This was a licensed collaboration set, not a traditional expansion — a one-off designed to capitalize on GO's resurgence. The set leans heavy on alt-art pulls and chase cards typical of that 2020–2022 window. Modern print, modern mechanics, modern demand. It's not vintage territory and it's not a reprint — it's a specific moment when the Sword & Shield line was still active and alternate art variants were table stakes for hobby attention.
