Is Pokemon Evolving Skies TCG expansion worth buying?

The Evolving Skies expansion will be a mix of the three Japanese sets: Eevee Heroes, Skyscraping Perfect, and Blue Sky Stream. Based on the cards we know will be in the set so far, as well as the items that could make the final cut, we have a good idea of what to expect.

Eevee fans will absolutely not want to miss out on this one. The gorgeous VMAX holographics of their favorite Eeveelutions are a must-own for their collection. The stunning amount of rares, and full art collectibles make this easily one of the best modern collections in the TCG.

Most importantly, the beautiful Special Art cards from the Japanese set, Eevee Heroes, have been confirmed to be in the August 2021 expansion. Evolving Skies is a MUST BUY, and will be sure to make waves in the Trading Card Game community.
