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. Although this set often stands in the shadow of bigger releases, it holds a few cards that are still interesting for collectors and investors today. In this blog we line up the 5 best cards from Guardians Rising for you.
1. Sylveon GX 158/145 (Secret Rare – Guardians Rising)
Sylveon remains one of the most popular Eeveelutions, and this gold Secret Rare version more than lives up to that. With a cute yet powerful design, this is a crowd favourite.
- Raw value: €124
- PSA 10 value: €425
The combination of Sylveon's fanbase, the small 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 a little more accessible on price, but at least as popular. The soft colours and cheerful look appeal broadly.

For anyone after a strong card with collector value and emotional appeal, this is an excellent choice.
3. Alolan Ninetales GX 150/145 (Secret Rare – Guardians Rising)

- Raw value: €35
- PSA 10 value: €151
Although the value is lower than Sylveon's, this card is popular with fans of the Alolan variants. In PSA 10 especially, a valuable addition to your collection.
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. The gold Secret version 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 collectors of Trainer cards.
5. Mallow 145/145 (Full Art – Guardians Rising)
Mallow is a cheerful and colourful Full Art Trainer card that appeals to fans because of her character from the Alola region. She makes a nice close to this top 5.

Trainer cards stay in demand – certainly when they show beloved characters like Mallow. In PSA 10 this card is surprisingly valuable.
