Is Squirtle a Good Investment?
As an ultra-rare card, Squirtle is in the category most targeted by both collectors and investors. Cards at this rarity tier have historically shown strong long-term appreciation. The upward price trend suggests increasing demand. However, short-term price movements do not always indicate long-term direction. High trading volume makes this card relatively liquid, meaning it can be bought or sold quickly at market price. As with any collectible, values can fluctuate based on market conditions, format legality, nostalgia cycles, and overall demand in the Pokemon TCG market in 2026.
