Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
The market for Silver Tempest Full Art cards has stabilized after initial post-release volatility. Demand remains consistent due to Regidrago's popularity as a Legendary Pokémon and its playability in competitive formats, but supply is steady, preventing sharp price increases.
Next months. Prices will remain stable over the next 3-6 months, with minor fluctuations based on tournament results and new set releases.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the card may see a gradual 10-20% increase in value as the Sword & Shield era becomes more retrospective and collectible, especially for graded copies.
History
Regidrago is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield's Crown Tundra expansion, known as the 'Dragon Egg' Pokémon. It is said to be created from dragon eggs by Regigloo, and its body is made entirely of crystallized dragon energy. Unlike most Legendary Pokémon, it has no gender and is classified as a Dragon-type. Its origin ties directly to the mythos of the Galar region's ancient dragons.
This specific card (Regidrago V Full Art #183/195) was first released in November 2022 in Japan as part of the Silver Tempest set, though the English version was released shortly after in the same month. The card was first printed in the United States under the Pokemon TCG brand.
- Regidrago V is a Full Art Ultra Rare card, meaning it features a unique artwork that covers the entire card face with no traditional border.
- The regular holographic version of Regidrago V is #135 in Silver Tempest, while the Full Art version is #183/195, making it a Secret Rare variant.
- Regidrago has 220 HP, one of the highest among Pokémon V cards, and its attack 'Celestial Roar' allows it to attach Energy cards by discarding from the deck.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering (Full Art cards are often harder to center perfectly), edge wear, and surface scratches. Common flaws include white edges on the borderless design, micro-scratches on the glossy surface, and slight creasing due to the thin card stock of Full Art variants.
Storage. Store in a rigid, non-PVC card sleeve (like a Diamond Card Protector) inside a snap-top or magnetic case. Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity. For long-term value, consider grading by graded, graded, or graded.
Authenticity. Fakes often have blurry text, incorrect font styles, or lack the holographic pattern on the Full Art surface. Authentic copies will have a consistent, deep black background with sharp, clear artwork. The regulation mark 'F' should be present. Verify the card number matches 183/195 for the Full Art version, not 135 for the regular holographic.
