The Lugia V alternate art from the Silver Tempest set saw a sharp decline throughout 2023, disappointing many fans of the Pokémon.
Starting at around USD$180 in May 2023, it dropped steadily, almost reaching below USD$100 by January 2024.

This revival is partly due to a reduced supply of the Lugia V alternate art, with only 47 listings on TCGPlayer, and the recently renewed interest in Lugia V within the competitive scene (I mean who doesn’t love a giant Pokémon God in their deck?).
