Ascended Heroes Dominates Weekly Movers With Three Gainers and Two Sharp Drops

Five cards from the same set claimed both the top gainer slots and two of the week's steepest losses, led by a 20.2% decline on Mega Froslass ex.

Ascended Heroes produced an unusual split in the weekly price data ending 2026-10-23: three cards from the set finished as the week's top gainers, while two others ranked among the biggest losers. The divergence shows that price movement within a single set can run in sharply different directions simultaneously.

The Gainers

Erika's Tangela led all gainers for the week, climbing from $10.39 to $11.21 — a rise of $0.82, or 7.9%. It claimed the top spot on the weekly leaderboard.

Budew followed closely, moving from $5.87 to $6.33, a $0.46 gain representing 7.8% growth. The two cards finished less than a tenth of a percentage point apart in weekly performance.

Boss's Orders rounded out the top three, rising from $5.28 to $5.68, up $0.40 or 7.6%. As a Supporter card with broad playability across formats, Boss's Orders tends to attract attention from players and collectors alike, though what specifically drove this week's movement is not clear from available data.

All three cards posted gains in the 7.6%–7.9% range, a notably tight cluster at the top of the weekly chart.

The Losers

Mega Froslass ex recorded the week's steepest percentage decline, dropping from $6.57 to $5.24 — a loss of $1.33, or 20.2%. That places it well clear of the other losers in terms of percentage movement. What triggered the sell-off is not established by current data.

Lillie's Clefairy ex also finished in the red, falling from $113.87 to $103.79, a decline of $10.08 or 8.8%. In dollar terms, that represents the largest single-card loss across all five movers this week. Lillie's Clefairy ex remains the highest-priced card in this group by a significant margin despite the pullback.

What the Data Shows

The week's results put Ascended Heroes at the center of market activity across both ends of the performance spectrum. The three gainers moved in near-lockstep percentage terms, while the two losers diverged sharply from each other — Mega Froslass ex down 20.2% on a lower base price, Lillie's Clefairy ex down 8.8% on a much higher one.

Whether the gains and losses within the set are connected — reflecting rotation of collector interest from certain cards toward others — or are simply independent movements is not something the price data alone can resolve. No external announcements or tournament results are confirmed in available information as contributing factors.
