Alolan Exeggutor, City League Closes: Market Signals 2026-08-23: Market Signals 2026-08-23

Not an empty desk. Not a product day either. Alolan Exeggutor and Scraggy are English-text reveals. Street date is still September 16. Worlds is five days out. City League S3's published window ends today. Shop calendar is still denser than the shelf.

Yesterday's two store openings stay yesterday. Harbin Articuno and Nanjing Togekiss are store promos. Not rewriting the rules.

PokeBeach, August 23, 1:20 a.m. English text. No card numbers. Not labeled SIR.

- Alolan Exeggutor: Grass, HP150, Stage 1, evolves from Exeggcute. Ability Scale Up: if this Pokemon has 6 or more Grass Energy attached, it gets +250 HP. Mega Drain, one Grass and three Colorless, 150, heal 50. Weakness Fire ×2. Retreat 4. - Scraggy: Darkness, HP80, Basic. Nitpick, one Darkness: opponent shuffles their hand into their deck and draws 4. Corkscrew Punch, one Darkness and one Colorless, 30. Weakness Grass ×2. Retreat 2.

The writeup adds one product line: an alternate-art Alolan Exeggutor promo in the 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection. That SKU was already on the June 30 TPCi list. Today just matches the art. Not a new SKU. No new MSRP.

Chase is still the Pikachu SIRs, the Futuristic Rares, and the Classic Collection reprints. These two are a wall and a hand-disruption basic. Do not hang a preorder on them.

Season window June 27 to August 23. Batch 9 ran yesterday and today. Dates sit on the August 17 page. Entry is free. Not a product day.

Faction battles stay in the hidden-score phase through the 27th. Victory Friday is Fridays only. The Worlds Pikachu store window is still open through the 30th. League Worlds Celebration starts tomorrow.

Tins stay August 28. $21.99 is still a retail tag.

Dated August 23 rows titled 116/084 SIR: eBay $199.99 and $238.50; TCGPlayer Near Mint $206.99. $199.99 sits on the floor of the $200-$280 raw band. $238.50 stays inside it.

Yesterday's clean SIR print was $260.00. The $329.95 row stays an outlier. No new dated PSA 10 row today.

These two 30th cards have no numbers and no pop. Too early to grade. The Tech Sticker Exeggutor is an accessory promo. Wait for the September 16 print.

City League prizes are not a new promo line today. 30th certs still wait for mid-September.
