About Ralts (Shiny Treasure ex [SV4a] 258/190)

Ralts is the first form of a three-stage evolutionary line; one of its two final forms is Gardevoir. This is where most of its value is derived from as in the same set is a Shiny reprint of the Gardevoir ex first seen in Scarlet ex [SV1S]—and this Shiny version has proven to be one of the standout pulls of the Pokémon TCG’s ninth generation. The Ralts on this card is implied to evolve into that Gardevoir ex; this fact has elevated demand for this card and thus its value.

Further adding to the card’s value are its rarity of S which is exclusive to cards depicting Shiny Pokémon as well as the visual effect in the background of the illustration—the sparkles and stars that reference the visuals seen in the Pokémon video games when a Shiny Pokémon enters the battlefield.
