Ditto Cards Surge in Price Following Pokemon Pokopia's Switch 2 Launch

Classic Ditto cards are seeing notable price spikes following the release of Pokemon Pokopia, the new Switch 2 exclusive where Ditto plays a starring role. The Delta Species Ditto (Squirtle) 040/113 reverse holo jumped 174% to $245 after holding steady for roughly a year, and vintage Ditto singles like the Pikachu variant (063/113) continue to see small but frequent increases. The surge appears to be driven by renewed interest in the character rather than artificial manipulation, with the game's strong reception reminding collectors why Ditto has lasting appeal.

Notably, modern Ditto cards like the VMAX from Shining Fates have not benefited from the same trend and have actually declined, suggesting the price movement is concentrated in older, out-of-print singles that cannot be reprinted.
