Rocket return. As the podcast, welcome to today's episode. We really hope you enjoy. We're doing our third ever game episode. And this one is a very fun one. How it's gonna work is I'm gonna go first by picking a step era. And I'm gonna talk about two cards from it. Then I'm gonna ask Judo which card he thinks is more expensive. If he gets it right, he gets a point. If he doesn't, he gets nothing. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. The rules are pretty simple. All the only prohibited sets are base sets, energy sets, or promo sets, because some of those are a little weird. Well, we really hope you enjoy this episode. Now let's dive straight into the episode. We're going to start with the era of bass. Excuse me. Um and again, who says that we're just a podcast? We make music too. I mean, if you call that music. It's pretty bad music. But still, I mean, no. You are, you should be part of an opera. About Pokemon. Vocal rest. About Pokemon. Vocal rest. Sorry, if you don't understand. Insider joke. It's yeah, me and our friends made this um movie. This little interesting movie. Shh. I I don't think we can like show people it. But it's really awesome. It's it's about a guy who um who visits a vocal doctor because he has to go and vocal arrest. Yeah, but then there's someone who's like, the specialist who's like talking to them about something. And he's like, like, imagine like a mob. Like a mob leader. Like the even like the slow chair turn to like, what's he what are you doing here? And then like he asks me all these like questions. Judah plays a specialist, I play the guy at vocal arrest. Judah starts asking me all these questions. And I get every single one wrong. Like, like it would be like a what's your favorite color? And he'd go, um, because he can't talk. He's like, ooh. And I'm like, oh, is it vowels? And then I would like hold up a blue pillow and Judah would be like, oh. It's peelo. I said pilo. Okay. Anyway, let's get back on to bass. So yes. So Theo is going to go first for this one. So, uh, so bass is obviously very recognizable. So I'm gonna choose the worst set just to mess with Judah. So, I'm gonna choose base set two. Bass set two was released on February 14th, has 130 cards, and the most expensive card is a Charizard. The Charizard sells for $397. The full set market value is $1,325. As of the time of recording, like all prices, these are subject to change a lot because the Pokemon TCG does. It just does that. The market's weird. It stocks. It's literally stuck for the cards. It just stocks for kids. Stocks for kids. There's a friend, um, he's the friend who went to me with the card show. He says if he becomes a well-funded scientist, he wants to like study the um how collecting Pokemon affects later stock trades, later in life. And I honestly think it would be a pretty positive like Yeah, because you you'd understand how stocks work. You you'd understand that you can get something and it have it go down in value, but you can know, oh, I invest in this, this is gonna go up. Although Pokemon, Pokemon always goes up. Stocks, stocks don't always go up. So Okay, let's let's we've talked about movies and stocks, but barely any Pokemon. So I'm gonna I'm gonna start it off relatively easy with two brass types. Which do you think is more expensive? The holographic Nidto King or the holographic Scyther. You know, something I've always found about Nitto King is the name. Nitto King. Seems like every teenage girl's favorite Pokemon. It's the king of Nidos. God. It's like why? And then there's also Nido Queen. Like if if if you don't call it Nido, just Nido King. It's the king of Nido's. It's like in like a little while, it'll be like, no, no. Pokemon would be like, no, no, we did not do a brand new with Nino. And it'd be like, Nido King is like just a little bit. The new card artwork is literally just a Nido of Nido King. Yeah, it would be like I got the new exclusive Nido King! I got the new set! Mega Evolution Nido Frontiers! Nido Frontiers! So, what card do you think is more expensive? Um, well, I'm going to use reverse psychology here, because Nidoking is a pretty popular Pokemon, but Scyther, I think, is might be more of a popular Pokemon. I don't really know because Nitto King was more popular in Base Set 2, so I'm just gonna go with my gut and say Scyther. Whew! If you only did one more psychology, reverse reverse-reverse psychology. Nidto King is the more expensive card at $34.64. Oh, darn. Sense? Sense. Scyther is trailing behind by a couple bucks at $30.82. Okay. Well now. Still leaves Judah at $0.06. Now it is my turn. And I am going to be super evil and do jungle. Fossil feels like just yesterday, and I feel like I know every single card in Fossil, and you probably do too, so I'm not gonna do Fossil. And we can't do base because that's a base set. Um, so actually, huh. I think I'm going to go evil on you and do the Viplume first edition holofoil versus the Scyther first edition holofoil, same artwork as base set too. Okay, so I'm going to follow in your footsteps and use reverse, reverse, reverse scyther. Reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse reverse. Reverse, reverse. I think that you think that I think Scyther is the better Pokemon. And you want me to pick Scyther, but I think that you think that I think I'm gonna pick Scyther, so I think that I'm gonna pick the Viaplume. That is incorrect. Dang it! I really hope that all my fancy talk would work. Theo, if talking fancy could change stock market, we'd be in a whole new world. Oh boy. The scyther is $130 for the Viteplume is uh $98. So not very far off, but the Scyther is the fourth most expensive card, and the Viteplume is eighth. Next, we're gonna move on to Gym. The Journey Together of Bass. Okay. Listen here. Journey Together is not that bad. No, I'm not saying it like it's a bad set. I'm saying Journey Together of Bass because it has like the Blaine's Charizard, Erica's Venusaur. Like, not not not saying it was bad. Jim is one of like the best sets. Neo is the best of the first edition sets. Okay. I'm just gonna say it. It's the best. It is the best. There's nothing better. Bass is nostalgic. Base it, yeah. Bass has nostalgia, and that's why it's expensive. But Neo's just better. Mm-hmm. Okay, let's go. So I'm gonna pick up so many options. Gym Challenge. Real I know, I know. It's super unpredictable of me. You only had a one in two chance of guessing that. So Gym Challenge was released on October 16th, 2000. Has 132 cards, and the most expensive card is the Blaine's Charizard, selling for $521 regularly and $894 in a first edition Hall of Farm. Wow. Yeah. So I'm gonna pick two regular cards and have the first trainer of the video. Which do you think is more expensive? The normal non-first edition Erica's kindness or the normal non-first edition Lieutenant Serge's Eevee. Well, okay. Eevee is a crowd favorite. Agreed. So Eevee is definitely the one that you want me to say. No comments. But something tells me Misty's cards, or is it Misty? No, it's Erica. Erica cards really go up. And you know, besides the prismatic one, Eevee cards really aren't that expensive or that crazy in price. So I'm just gonna go with the the trainer. Okay. Well, you are correct! Correct. The Erica's um kindness trainer currently sells for $20.45. Well, the Eevee sells for about $9.45. So, Judah. Um Okay, now it's time for mine. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh I want to. This doesn't count for any bonus points unless you want it to. But what do you think is the most expensive Eevee? Hmm, it shouldn't. Is it the Eevee from Prismatic? Oh boy, I need to scroll down a while to see the Eevee from Prismatic. The most expensive Eevee is actually all of the poncho wearing Eevee. Oh, of course. Ponchos. Literally the most expensive Pokemon, Japanese Pokemon product is ponchos. And the like ponchos. Rquaza-shaped ponchos sell for $34,000 for a second. Here's the thing. The Umbreon Pancho isn't the most expensive. It's actually not even close. The Jolteon Poncho is the most expensive at $750. At $735, it's the Espion Poncho. And at $705, it's the Vaporeon Poncho. But the Umbreon, surprisingly, is not fourth. It's fifth. Now, our thing is probably wrong. But we'll see. Judah, um, what's your cards? What are your cards? Well, I'm chok I chose Neo Destiny. Not because it's a cool set or anything and has like a giant shining Charizard. Nope. No giant shining Charizards here. Just because it has. Keep going. Nope. Nope, nope. Keep going. Okay. Growlitith. Wow. JK. It has a scyther. Oh, come on. Why must you torment me like this? But I am going to use that growlith. What do you think is more expensive? The non-hollow first edition growlith versus the first edition non-hollow Scyther or Scyther. Oh boy, I don't know. Um I'm okay. I'm trying to think. Well, Scyther isn't that popular, so Growlithe. Incorrect! The Growlithe is $18, whereas the Scyther is around $20. Close. Yes, very close. But not close enough. Your turn. Next we're going on to E card. Okay. Well, I'm gonna pick Skyridge. So, Skyridge came out May 12th, 2003. Has 182 cards, and the most expensive card is a Charizard. No. Yep. It has a full market value of $36,819. So, Judah, you absolutely tormented me with that last question. So I'm going to torment you with this one. Judah, which is more expensive? The mystery plate. I guess it's a Y. It's a really weird symbol. Or the hyper potion. Normal. Both of them normal. Hmm. That's a difficult one. I don't really know. But based on what I know about trainers, a lot of the time potions aren't really that expensive. Usually potions are the least expensive in a set. So I think I'm just gonna go with the mystery plate Y. Whew. Sorry. The mystery plate Y sells for $4.61, while the Hyper Potion is $4.81. Wow. They're right next to each other. Yep. Well, because you did that, I'm going to choose Aquapolis. Aquapolis has 142 cards and 36 secret rares. The most expensive card is Lugia. Wow, really? Yes. Really? Well. Bet you can't guess what card I'm going to choose. So there are actually two Scythers in this set. Really? Yes. So that's the thing about E-card. They have a lot of like of the same card. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to do the reverse holo tojipe. Okay. Versus the reverse holo scyther. This one, in case it matters too, is 47 out of 147, rather than the other one, which is a lower number. Which one do you think is more expensive? Are any of them holofoil? Um, I j both of them are reverse holofoil. Right, sorry, I missed that. Oh boy, this is tricky. I'm gonna go with Scyther. Incorrect! Oh my god! Where the normal Toji P, where the Scyther outnumbers the normal Toji P by like $10, the Toji P pulls right ahead with 42 alongside the 43. I really get it, Theo, with the Scyther. Okay, Judah. This reign of terror stopped with EX. Because I am picking the best set from EX, the one, the only Team Rocket Return! Woo! Oots Okay, Judah. This ends now because it's the Here Comes Team Rocket, Holofoil Trainer, or the Rockets, Scyther EX. I know this. I'm completing Team Rocket video. Yeah. I'm giving you a little bit of a break. Well I feel bad after what I did last time. I'm going to say the the trainer. Correct! Yes, I knew it! I know that's said too well. Uh here comes Team Rocket sells for $375. Yes, it's the it's the secret rare. While the Scyther sells for $351. Okay. Well, let's see. Next, I'm going to do EX Unseen Forces. Bet you can't guess why. There's the Scyther. No. What do you think is more expensive? The Scyther reverse holofoil. Or let's see. Should I be cruel? The Scyther reverse holofoil or the Can't think right now. Oh how about the unknown oh no the the Meganeum reverse holofoil. If you don't know, Meganeum is one of the SIRs from Ascended Heroes. Yes, but this isn't Mega Evolution. So honestly, from now on, I'm literally just gonna pick the Scyther every time. Scyther. That's correct. The Scyther is $120. Finally, my first point! The Magnium is only $30. Next, we're moving on to Pop Series. So I'm gonna do Pop Series 9. Pop Series 9 was released on March 1st, 2009. Has 17 cards, and the most expensive card is a Garchomp. Selling for $52.62 for a regular non-hollow garchomp, which is a little weird. Um the total market value is $175. So, Judith, tell me which is more expensive. A regular, uh completely regular, normal Reggie Gigas, level 42. From from which one? Um nine. Okay. Or a Gibble from also regular level nine. Um this feels a little too easy. I'm just gonna go with the giggle. The gibble. The gibble? Yeah. Oh darn. The gibble sells for 68 cents, while the Regigiga sells for 328. Wow. Yep, so that's no points to Judah. Well, I'm going to do pop series one. Sadly, there's no scyther. But instead, I'm going to do septile. The next closest thing from pop series one. What do you think is more expensive? The holofoil swamper or the holofoil septile. Well, uh I'm gonna do a little bit of manipulation. I said that I'm gonna choose like the scyther every time, so you would make the other card more expensive so I could lose. At least that was my idea. So, um, what was the other one again? It was a swamper. Yeah, I'll take the swamper. Correct! Let's go! I knew it! Manipulation, baby! Swamper was $40 for the septile was $24. Now we're going to move on to Diamond and PRL. Oh boy. For Diamond and Pearl, um, here. Diamond and Pearl Great Encounters. Diamond and Pearl Great Encounters was released on February 1st, 2008. So we actually went back here. It has 106 cards. And the most expensive card is a Dialga Level X selling for $249.99. Okay. I can work with this. So, Judah, I'm going to ask you a very, very impossible question. Don't you love impossible questions? I do love impossible questions. Yep. Which do you think is more expensive? The Dark Cry level 38 or the Dark Cry level 40. Wha ha ha ha ha ha from which set? Um, Diamond and Pearl Great Encounters. Hmm. Usually I feel like he's using reverse psychology because you'd think the higher level one would be more expensive. Which is why I'm going to say level 40. 38. No, no, no, no. That was way too late. Dark Cry level 40 sells for 2574, while Dark Cry level 38 sells for 2613. Oh, I have that dark cry. Or I used to have that dark cry. I don't anymore. Um you traded your life away. Well, next I'm going to do Diamond and Pearl Stormfront. Bet you can guess why. There's a scyther. There's a scyther! Don't let him do this to me, man. So, what do you think is more expensive? The Scyther Holofoil reverse holofoil or the Machoke normal. Oh no. I'm gonna go with the Scyther. He went off on a limb there. And he got it correct! Let's go! Finally, all tied up! Three to three! Scyther is ten dollars, whereas the Machoke is four. Next, moving on to platinum. Platinum, I'm gonna go with Rising Rivals. Rising Rivals was released on Middle East. Oh, I love Rising Rivals 2009. It has 111 cards plus nine ticket rares. And the most expensive card is a Snorlax level X, selling for $797. And it's not it's an it's an okay Snorlax, but it's not $700. So Judah, I'm gonna- Storlaxes aren't $700. I'm gonna be evil. Okay. Very evil. Okay. Which do you think is more expensive? I bet you can guess that there's going to be a scyther on the next one. Which do you think is more expensive? The Pikachu, level 12, Holofoil. Or the Flying Pikachu, level 12, Holofoil. From Diamond and Pearl, sorry, not Diamond and Pearl. We already so pass that. Platinum rising rivals. Hmm. That is really, really hard. Hmm. Oh Platinum is the one that I know the least. I only know Arceus. Well because it has Arceus in it. Um I know that surfing Pikachu is super popular in like ephish. Or flying Pikachu. Super popular. But I don't think you would have done something that popular based on your last responses where you did the popular one was more expensive, so I'm just gonna go with the normal Pikachu. Correct! Yes! The normal Pikachu is $313. While the flying Pikachu is $126. Now, there's something very interesting about this set. There are cards that are only reverse hollows. It's the different types of Rotons. Huh, that's interesting. Yeah. There's also a $17 non-holofoil Gengar, so like weird stuff happens. Well, I am going to do from the series Platinum, Platinum. Uh didn't we say that there's no base sets? There's a scyther in it, so I'm gonna do it. No, no, no base sets. No! No base sets, no base sets. Fine. That's what I thought. Um, well, I guess I'm gonna have to redo my strategy. Thankfully, I have my best friend septile right here to step up. So, what do you think is more expensive? The level. Uh, the the or the septile with 120 health, the septile with 130. Both reverse holofoil. No. 130. What? 130? Correct! Let's go! Stay it all tied up! One of them is five dollars and the other fifteen. Next, we're moving on to hard gold. Soul silver. The one of the most forgettable sets besides platinum. Your turn. Okay, Judah. I have found the most insanely, like, insanely evil thing I can do. Okay. So Heart Gold Soul Silver Unleashed was released May 12th, 2010. Has 95 cards plus one, just one, secret rare. The most expensive card is a $200 Tyranitar, and the full stop market value is $2,444. Wait, which one? Heart Gold Soul Silver Unleashed. Unleashed. Hey Juda. What? Which is more expensive? The Suicune and Entei Legend card. Suicune and Entei Legend card. Top half. Or the Suicune and Entei Legend card. Bottom half. Oh I know. I know this. I know this. I know this. I don't even have to think about the top. The bottom half is worth $180. While the um while the top half is worth 105. Sorry, Juna. But I I would have been fooled by that too. Is there any more evil than that? Like, is there literally anything more evil? HS und dotted. What is more expensive? The s um the um normal scyther, non-holo, that has 60 health, or the reverse holofoil scyther that has 770 health. I'm actually gonna go normal scyther. Wait. Incorrect! Dang it! The reverse holofoil is five where the normal is one. Ah. Well, Judah, I think I found possibly the worst set in existence. Well, before you get on to that, we're moving on to black and white. My set from black and white is probably one of the worst ones out there. Black and white emerging powers. Black and white emerging powers was released on August 31st, 2011, has 98 cards. And the most expensive card is a Thunderous worth $20. Okay. The most expensive card. It's yep. $20. Well, actually it's worth $24. $24. Yeah. It has a full set market value of $287. Which by no means is a small amount of money, but like that would be like a c a ch that would be like a cheap chase card from a black and white set. The entire master set. Let's see. A black and white emerging powers pack is probably five or six times as much as the card. I just looked it up. It's a hundred dollars. Uh, it's a hundred and fifty. What? Yeah. It does not deserve to be that. By the way, it goes from two $20 cards right down into a three dollar card. It's a one-hit wonder, but it's the worst one-hit wonder ever to one hit and wonder. That was terrible. Continue. Yeah, that that was pretty terrible. So Judah. It's time for some shenanigans. What do you think is more expensive? The cotton tea with 50 HP. Or the cotton tea with 40 HP. Well, this is very, very strange. For I have found that usually the one with a lower level tends to be more expensive. But I can't tell if that's the same here. Repeat, what what was the card? The cotton tea. Cotton tea. Card number nine. Or the cotton tea number ten. I'm going to go with my gut and I'm going to say the cotton tea number nine. C wrong act! Correct, Judah. The cotton tea number um nine is worth 33 cents. Wall number 10 is worth 25. Good job. So that's one more point to Judah, leaving it five to four. It all rides on your turn. So, Judah, what's Sefti doing? I'm going to do the epic set of boundaries crossed. Actually, that sounds really inappropriate. It's the set that crosses all of your boundaries. Black and white boundaries crossed. The boundaries have been crossed. And then they come out with Plasma Storm and Plasma Freeze and Plasma Blast, and they went back before those boundaries. Because those are some of the best sets in black and white. And then it ends off with legendary treasures. Epic set. Amazing set. So actually, not that amazing. I love legendary treasures. It's just the boxes are incredibly expensive. Well, like, Judah, the boxes are expensive, but look at some of the artwork on that. This Zekrom is super pretty. And that Mew is amazing. So this set is a cure is a Curam set. If you don't know about Kurum, it's like a dragon. There are two types black curum and white curum. The most expensive is the black curum, with the second being the white curum. So I'm going to ask you, what do you think is more expensive? The Victini reverse holo? Or the Scyther Reverse Holo. Well, I think the Victini is more popular than Scyther. I don't know about back then, but what do I know? I'm going for the Victini. Incorrect. The Scyther is $18 for the Victinious 2. Oh. Now let's move on to X and Y while Theo recovers. Okay, Judah, I'm gonna get you with this one, and I know it. That's why I am doing one of the worst received gimmicks of all time. Oh no. I don't think it's so bad. Break cards. Oh, okay. I thought you were gonna say um Steam Tease. Oh no. I'm doing XY Breakpoint. XY Breakpoint was released on February 3rd, 2016, has 122 cards and four secret rares. Those being the Gyarados, Skyla, Ho-O, and Skizzer. Skizzer. Skizzer. Skizzers. Skizzer Um. Oh actually the Skizzer isn't it. So what are the secret rares? The Gyarados is a secret rare. The Skyla isn't a secret rare. Wait, I'm not actually. Moving moving on, moving on. Um I'm gonna go Oh, it's the Gyarados Skyla. Okay, it's the others. So, the um so Wait, do we have any idea like what the scores are? Yes, I do have an idea of what the scores are. Would you like an update? Um, yes. Okay. For the benefit of me and the audience. It's Theo with four and Judah with five. Yes. Yes, you are just edging me out because of that. But I had a huge comeback in the beginning. So, Judah, tell me which is more expensive? The trevant trevant break or the radicade break? Radicade? Or trevant? Is that an evolution of Rat R Ratata? Uh No. It evolves from Radicade, not break. Okay. Cause Radicade break card because break cards are technically a frame. What was the other one? The trevant break. It's like a big abominable treat. Okay. Hmm. That's hard. Very uh I don't really know what to think. Um so I'm not going to think. What were the two? The treatment break or the radicade break? I'm going to just guess one trevant. Correct! I have no idea how. The treatment. I mean it's a 50-50 shot. I have no idea. I guess it is a what is treatment? It's like a big tree do. Uh Pokedex number 709, so we can look it up after. Oh, okay. I actually have some info on treatment. He has 49 total cards. He is a ghost grass type. He is 411. Oh, oh, it's like the ghost tree thing. So a little bit taller than me. And has $400 worth of cards. The most expensive one is a Trevant and Dusknore Tag Team from the Japanese version, I believe. No. From Tag Team GX All-Stars. And how much is that? Um, it is about $80, $83. Okay. Yeah. So it's not as good as Trico. The most expensive regular Treatment is $21. All the others are tag teams. There's like a million tag teams of them. So, yes. That is so treatment is more expensive, selling for $329, while the Radicate is $310. Okay. Well, I choose Primal Clash. A pretty good set, actually. So I'm not going to go that far down into the random bulk. I'm actually going to stay up in these secret rares. What is more expensive? Sadly, there is actually not a single scyther in all of X XY. Oh wow. So the Sceptile Half Art or the Enhanced Hammer Holofoil. The reason why that's even like up there is because they have like gold holofoils or something. So like the mo the name the things again? The um the septile half art or the enhanced hammer holofoil. Okay. Um, I'm going the half art. The half art? Yes, the half art. CORAE! Yes! It is the septile half art with $14 for the enhanced hammer at 13. Next, moving on to Sun and Moon. Theo, what's your card? I'm gonna do Sun and Moon Celestial Storm. I don't know a lot about Celestial Storm. So, okay. Celestial Storm was released on August 3rd, 2018. Has 168 cards, 19 secret rares, and the most expensive card is a Raquaza GX Rainbow Rare selling for $282. It has a full set market value of $2,07. Oh, it's the Raquaza set. Yeah. So Yeah, those booster boxes sell for it. It's time to get you a Which do you think is more expensive? The Scyther Reverse Holofoil. No, but that's my job. Well guess what? I just stole your job. Bully. Uh guess what? I just stole your job. Bully. I just stole your job. I just stole. I just bully. I just stole your job. See? We're on SoundCloud, we make music. Yeah. Which do you think is more expensive? The Scythe reverse holofoil or the Love Disc? Normal. Love Disc? Or wait, the wait. Love Disc reverse holofoil? No, just normal. Oh, that changes things. Very interesting. Huh, let me think. So, okay, so what what was the card? The Scyther reverse holofoil or the love disc normal. Scyther verse. I I feel like you are just I'm just gonna guess. Because I feel like you didn't put Scyther first because um that would feel a little bit too niche. So I'm just gonna go with Love Disc. You are correct! Yes! Oh my god. The Love Disc sells for $2.15. Which sounds really high to me, so I'm checking TCG player, but yeah, that is the cost, and that's what people are selling it for. Wow. Yeah, it's some cards like that are just completely random. So the Scyther sells for two $1.23. One, two, three. Okay, Judah. What's yours? Okay, so I have chosen Hidon Fetis. Hidon Feties? Hidon Fetis. And I was wondering if you could answer the age-old question. What's more expensive? A Scyther reverse holofoil? Or a jigglypuff reverse holofoil. Hmm. The age old question. The age old question. But I know it. Watch me get this correct. It's the scyther! That is incorrect. What? No! No, no, I am definitely right. No, nope, you are entirely wrong. In fact, the scyther is like the fifth least expensive card, and the um the jigglypuff is like 40th. Dang. You got it. Bad. Okay. Well, you know what time it is. It's time to move on to Sword and Sword and Shield. Well, guess what, Judah? What? I am going to do something that you know nothing about. Sword and Shield Rebel Clash. Sword and Shield Wait, is that a set? Wait, what set is that? Sword and Shield Rebel Clash. Oh, Rebel Clash. It's one of the worst sets to ever exist. The most expensive card is a $50 trainer. It came out on May 1st, 2020. Has 192 cards, so 17 secret rares. The most expensive card is a boss's orders worth 50 bucks. And the second most expensive is just the rainbow rare of that card. The full set market value is $574. And to add um and just to add even more. It um it was featured on one of our episodes, and I and I did get it right just because it's so bad. Sword and Shield had a very rough start, but they were able to pull it together. Actually you got it wrong. You said the boss's orders rainbow, but it was actually the normal one. I know. So which do you think is more expensive? The Scyther. Which one? Reverse Hollow. Okay. Or the Boss's orders. Oh. Not full art. Not reverse holofoil. Just normal? Not holofoil. But the um but the non-holo card, the normal card from the trainer's toolkit Inteleon V Max Lead League battle deck. What? It's a variant. Okay. It's a variant, Judah. Uh you gotta play dirty. That feels cruel. Okay. Play dirty. Let me think. So last time you asked a scyther question, the scyther was not the most expensive. And I feel like I know you. I feel like you do the opposite. And I think you know that. And I do the opposite, that you do the opposite. So I think I'm gonna use again, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse psychology. And I'm going to say. So it was a Scyther reverse. This is really Scyther versus Holofoil or the non holofoil boss's orders from the Inteleon V Max Lead Battle Deck. My thing is that the boss's orders is the most popular card in the deck. Is the most popular card. In that set. So I'm guessing the normal one is also pretty expensive. So I'm just. Bosses? Orders? You uh I got it wrong. I got it wrong. I got it wrong. Yes! Wait, really? Yeah. The nor the one the um Wait, if was that that is so loud. The um, it sells for 49 cents from the battle deck. Wow, that's a real lot. Um never mind. You are wrong? Wait, what? The TCG market the TCG player market price just crashed to zero cents. Okay, there's no card worth zero. So no. Yeah, I'll g I'll give you the point for that. The scyther sells for 40 cents. Nope, it's free. It's free. Next time you go to a card show and you see that Scyther, just be like, it's free. It's free, give it to me. Just give me the card. So, Juno, what's your sword and shield set? Astral Radiance. And now, which one do you think is the most expensive? The Scyther Reverse Holo with 90 health, or the Scyther Reverse Holo with 80 health. Honestly, I'm not even gonna think I'm just gonna act 80 health. Incorrect! The one with 80 health is 32 cents, or the one with 90 is 88. Next, we're moving on to Scarlet and Violet. Well, Judah, my set from Scarlet and Violet is my favorite Scarlet and Violet set. 151. I love this set so much. 151 was released on September 22nd, 2023. Has 165 cards plus four super cards. The most expensive card is a Charizard. Yes. He's gonna do a sight there, I know. But it's probably gonna go down. It has a full set market value of $2,457. He's gonna do a sight there. But actually, I've been trying to master set this, so I have $1,852 of the set. Stay tuned to see when I complete that master. So, Judah. I am going to ask you a tricky tricky question that does not involve a scyther. Which is more expensive? The scythe- I'm just kidding. The Ninetales EX Ultra Rare or the Alakazam EX Ultra Rare. Which one? The Ninetales EX Ultra Rare or the Alakazam EX Ultra Rare. Ninetales versus the what? Alakazam. Alakazam. Both ultra rares. No, one's an ultra rare and one's an SIR. Oh, I have like a winning streak. Why am I so good at this game, but I like soccer than all the other ones? This is just your lucky game. Um the Alec. The Alakad Ninetales? Ninetales? The Ninetales? Yeah. That is your final answer. Yeah. Are you sure? Think of the starving children. Well, you are correct! Yes! The Ninetales is worth $15.77 and the Alkazam is worth $15.10. How do you keep winning this? It is currently five to nine. Okay, well, I won. Yeah, you won. But let's keep playing it here. Can we do can we do double? Can we do like quadruple points for Mega Evolution? Yes, Mega Evolution will be It will be worth six points. How about this? Mega Evolution, whoever gets it right wins. And if and if we tie, because if we both get it right, then we do Japanese and Japanese set. No, then the score determines the winner. No, no, I'm saying like winner gets Okay, we'll go we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'm doing Paldayan Fates. What do you think is more expensive? I know that there's a Scyther in Paldayan Fates. Nice try. The Dodu Shiny or the Scyther. Shiny? Shiny. Oh, I know this. It's the Scyther. Darn. Yes, yeah, you're right. Okay. So now we're moving on to Mega Evolution. The final set and the last chance to get a point. So we're going to play a special round for um for Mega Evolution. Winner, if you get it right, you get six points. So he just better hope that he gets it right and that I don't. Also, there's no scyther. Yeah, there is no scyther. So, um I think I have an idea. Hmm. Okay. I think I'm gonna do Mega Evolution Perfect Order. Mega Evolution Perfect Order came out on March 27, 2026. Has 88 cards and 36 secret rares, and the most expensive card is the Meow with the X worth almost $200 now. Good job to that Meow with the X. Okay, Judah, which card do you think is more expensive? The Volcanion. Um the Volcanian normal or the Luminous Galette? Noise. Noise. The what? The Luminous Galette. It's a train of word. Normal okay. Repeat the furfro normal or the luminous galette. This is so stressful. So Judah, what's your answer? Or either of them reverse? No, just normal. Normal. One more time. The fur fro, normal, or the luminous gallette. Gazette, gallette? Is it is that a Pokemon? No, it's a trainer. Oh. I I don't know what it is. If you played the games, you would know. But Judah here is uncultured and he doesn't play the games. Come on, Judah, play the games. You don't either. Excuse me. How do I know what a Lumino scale is? Oh, oh. Uh Jeez. I'm just Come on, Judah. No, this is all no, no, no, no, no. You've been a while. This is all my points. This is all your points. That's why you better answer. Um give me twenty seconds, okay? No. Fine. Luminous chilla. You won. What six points. Okay, I won. Yeah, you won. No, but we'll keep going and just just okay. I'm going to do Mega Evolution Chaos Rising. What is more expensive? The Roxy's Performance S-I-R. Oh, I know the exact price of that. Let's try. Never mind. No, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Cool down. Yes, yes, you are telling me. Okay. Or the Mega Greninja EX. IR. There's an IR of the Mega Greninja? Of course. Oh no. Um. Okay. I'm just gonna go for the SIR, the Roxy's performance. Correct! The Roxy's performance is 37, where the Greninja is 26. Let me check. So, okay. Theo, can you add up all our points? Bet you can't guess the winner. Wait, where am I the Greninja? No, Judah, there's not an S-IR. There's an sorry, there's not an IR, there's an ultra rare. It's an ultra rare. Uh anyway, you you would have gotten it correct anyway. So, Judah. Also, Theo, pop quiz. What do you think is the most expensive Nido King? It is going to be wait, Nido King? Oh, Nido King. Yep. Okay. So Nido King I have no idea. Is it I'm trying I'm debating between the 151 IR and the um is wait, is it fossil? I forget which set it's from. Or the Nido King from base. It's yeah, it's base. Um are there any other Nido Kings in? Also, Shadowless does count. Wait, Shadowless counts. Yeah. What is the most expensive Nido King? It doesn't matter what the No, don't make me what edition of the card it is. Well, what's that's expensive? Don't make me do this. I'm gonna go. Wait, I forgot about something. E card. There were Nidto Kings in E K. Wait, what were there Nidto Kings in E-Card? Okay, I know you're looking at. There need a king. Then is there some Nidto king from E card? Is there? Okay, fine, I'm just gonna guess. Um, let's see, I'm looking at E card sets. Aquapolis. Is it Aquapolis? Yes. Wait, really? Yeah. That's insane. $600 Nido King. It's the third most expensive card in Aquapolis. Yep. Look it up. Oh my, you're right. That's expensive. Yes. Why? How is that worth why is it worth that much? Because it's Nido's. I guess. Sure. So imagine if it was like two cents before Nido's came around and then it went up to like a maj Wait. No, there was like a huge jump it did. It used to be a thousand, but then it went down. Wait, where? Oh wait. I think that might just be our app. I think it's also just like a um Oh, it's also we're still gathering price data. Oh wow. Someone's selling it for $20,000. Uh chicken polo, let's see. Oh, can't find that page. Whatever. Okay. Well, Judah, you definitely won that one. Yes. Um Theo. And I'm Judah. The winner. We'll see what's wrong with. Well, now you know what time it is. That's right, it's blooper time. We only have one, but it's really funny because our mic fell off, and we're just kind of trying to get it back on.
