10. Alolan Vulpix VSTAR - $24.15
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest
Card Number: 197/195
Rarity: Rainbow Rare
Alolan Vulpix glows in soft pastel colors, with a rainbow swirl running across the whole card. It's a gentle, pretty card, and Alolan Vulpix has been a fan-favorite ice fox since Sun and Moon. Rainbow Rares like this one still have plenty of fans.
9. Rayquaza VMAX - $24.29
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery
Card Number: TG29/TG30
Rarity: Trainer Gallery Secret Rare
Our first, but not our last, Rayquaza VMAX. This one is a Secret Rare with a bright green outline on a black card. It's simple, and that's the whole point. Rayquaza is one of the biggest names in the game, and this is the clean, modern version of that.
8. Lugia VSTAR - $25.30
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest
Card Number: 211/195
Rarity: Gold Secret Rare
Lugia glows in gold and silver against a golden background, and the foil makes the whole card shine. It's the first of two Lugia VSTAR cards on this list. Lugia has been a collector favorite since Neo Genesis, so a gold version of the set's mascot makes sense.
7. Regidrago V - $25.60
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest
Card Number: 184/195
Rarity: Alternate Art Ultra Rare
Regidrago sits in a quiet, foggy forest with old stone ruins all around it. It's moody and a little spooky, and the muted colors make it look different from the bright cards around it. It's the only Regi card on the list.
6. Blaziken V - $28.71
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery
Card Number: TG14/TG30
Rarity: Trainer Gallery Ultra Rare
May leaps through the air with Blaziken, and the two are both mid-kick. That lines up perfectly with Blaziken's High Jump Kick attack, which is a great art-meets-gameplay detail. Hoenn starters have always been popular, and Blaziken is a big reason why.
5. Unown V - $29.94
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest
Card Number: 177/195
Rarity: Alternate Art Ultra Rare
Now we're getting into the real chase cards for Silver Tempest. Big black Unown letters float over a jungle ruin, and the whole card feels like a puzzle. Unown has been around since Gold and Silver, and this is one of the coolest cards they've ever had.
4. Blaziken VMAX - $32.63
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery
Card Number: TG15/TG30
Rarity: Trainer Gallery Ultra Rare
Our second Blaziken, and a bigger one. A Hoenn trainer jumps off a giant Blaziken VMAX in a bright blue sky, with flames in red and yellow all over the card. It's a lot of fun to look at, and it sits just above the plain V.
3. Lugia VSTAR - $38.50
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest
Card Number: 202/195
Rarity: Rainbow Rare
This is the rainbow Lugia VSTAR, with every color of the spectrum blended across its wings. It was a big deal in competitive play too, and the Lugia VSTAR deck was one of the best of the Sword and Shield era. It's the most valuable VSTAR in the set.
2. Rayquaza VMAX - $181.70
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery
Card Number: TG20/TG30
Rarity: Trainer Gallery Ultra Rare
Rayquaza roars across a hot pink sky while a trainer in a white cape stands in front of it. It's easily the most dramatic card in the Trainer Gallery. This is the second most valuable card in Silver Tempest, and it's far ahead of everything below it.
1. Lugia V - $488.36
Set: Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest
Card Number: 186/195
Rarity: Alternate Art Ultra Rare
The Lugia V Alternate Art is the undisputed top pull in Silver Tempest. Lugia rises out of a dark storm in silver and white, with a little trainer watching from the side. Lugia has been a grail Pokémon since 2000, and this card is the one everyone wants from the set.
Final Thoughts
Silver Tempest has one clear star, and it's Lugia. Rayquaza and the Hoenn starters from the Trainer Gallery fill out the rest of the top of the list. If you liked this set, see how the next one compares in our Crown Zenith Top 10, or look back at the Lost Origin Top 10.
