Why the movers moved this week

Pikachu (Delta Species) 035 (Value Pack)
Nintendo Promos · #035
+34%$261.08

The price surge for Pikachu (Delta Species) 035 is likely driven by the recent launch of the Scarlet & Violet expansion 'Surging Sparks,' which has increased demand for early chase cards and Illustration Rares, including this promo rarity. This aligns with the 31.9% price increase over the past month, as collectors seek to acquire valuable cards from the new set.
