Valuable Bulk: SWSH Post-Rotation Complete Guide

Hi everyone once again. This is the third thread about Valuable Bulk, and this time is a big one! Let’s talk about some SWSH Era Stuff that will be valuable after rotation. I based the cards of this article in the most commons cards in Japan, that has already passed rotation. I will divide this post into 3 sections:

  • Generic useful cards
  • Specific decks cards
  • Specific cards for SV decks

Remember that if you want to see the Valuable Bulk in SV you can read it in here. You can also find a thread about Crown Zenith (last set) valuable bulk here.


QUICK NOTES: Singles refers to 1 unit of the card. Playset refers to 4 units of the card. Competitive players mostly prefers buying an expensive Playset than 4 Singles to avoid high shipping costs and comfortability. If you have seen my recent articles, you will know I use links to bulbapedia. I decided to change them to TCG Player because they might be more useful. Prices are determined by base prices of TCGPlayer.

Thanks for your effort on this article. Not a player or a set collector myself, but I find your articles very informative. It’s always good to have an active player perspective and for someone that is a complete noob it’s fascinating to see the list and understand why some bulk can be better than other bulk. I know for sure many people will find your articles super useful. Thanks again.

Cheers!
