Guardians Rising is the second set in the Sun & Moon series and brought a fresh mix of beloved Pokémon, striking Trainer cards, and valuable Secret Rares. While this set is often overshadowed by larger releases, it contains several cards that are still of interest to collectors and investors today. In this blog post, I'll list the 5 best cards from Guardians Rising.


1. Sylveon GX 158/145 (Secret Rare – Guardians Rising)

Sylveon remains one of the most popular Eeveelutions, and this gold Secret Rare edition more than lives up to that reputation. With a cute yet powerful design, it's a crowd-pleaser.

  • Raw value: €124
  • PSA 10 value: €425

The combination of Sylveon's fanbase, limited print run, and strong artwork makes this card the undisputed highlight of Guardians Rising.


2. Sylveon GX 140/145 (Full Art – Guardians Rising)

The Full Art version of Sylveon GX is slightly more affordable, but just as popular. Its soft colors and cheerful appearance appeal to a wide audience.

  • Raw value: €47
  • PSA 10 value: €240

For those looking for a strong card with collectible value and emotional appeal, this is an excellent choice.


3. Alolan Ninetales GX 150/145 (Secret Rare – Guardians Rising)

Alolan Ninetales takes on an icy, almost mystical look in this Secret Rare edition. The card is elegant and fits perfectly within Fairy or Ice themes.

  • Raw value: €35
  • PSA 10 value: €151

While lower in value than Sylveon, this card is beloved by Alolan variant fans. It's a valuable addition to your collection, especially in PSA 10.


4. Field Blower 163/145 (Secret Rare – Guardians Rising)

A surprising choice on this list, but Field Blower is a powerful trainer card that finds its value in competitive play. Its gold Secret edition makes it extra special.

  • Raw value: €32
  • PSA 10 value: €56

Not the most expensive card, but its playability and unique design make it a solid investment for players and trainer card collectors.


5. Mallow 145/145 (Full Art – Guardians Rising)

Mallow is a cheerful and colorful Full Art Trainer card that appeals to fans because of her character from the Alola region. She makes a nice addition to this top 5.

  • Raw value: €30
  • PSA 10 value: €189

Trainer cards remain in demand – especially when they feature beloved characters like Mallow. In PSA 10, this card is surprisingly valuable.


Why These Are the Best Cards in Guardians Rising

Guardians Rising may not be the most hyped set in the Sun & Moon series, but it contains a few gems that are definitely worth your while. The Sylveon cards dominate with their appearance and value, while Alolan Ninetales and Mallow provide variety. The combination of popular characters, Secret Rares, and playable Trainers makes this top 5 a strong selection for both collectors and players.
