Fans of the Eeveelutions are rejoicing as Pokemon TCG releases its first expansion for 2025, Prismatic Evolutions.
Prismatic Evolutions has been making headlines in the Pokemon TCG community since December last year because it contains a fan-favorite mon that is making an epic comeback since Evolving Skies — the ever-lovable Umbreon!
As you might’ve known, this set features Eevee together with its eight evolution forms. In the entire franchise, Eevee is the only Pokemon so far that is capable of evolving into different types, making it a versatile option in the franchise’s video games and trading card games.
As of writing this post, Prismatic Evolutions is currently being released in the market, and buys in various online forums are talking about its extremely low pull rates for the Eeveelution cards, leading to the prices of the cards to skyrocket.
The following list contains the list of the most expensive cards in Prismatic Evolutions, ranked based on their most recent market values. Keep in mind that the rankings on this list might change over time due to several factors, such as supply and demand.
But nevertheless, we’re positive that the card in number one spot is the main reason why fans are on the hunt for some Prismatic Evolutions packs.
10 most expensive cards in Prismatic Evolutions assessed at launch
10. Ceruledge ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Its sleek design totally reminds us of cool Mega Man characters.
Ceruledge is definitely on its way to become one of the most popular Pokemon in Generation 9. One of the clear indicators that Ceruledge’s reputation is gaining traction is the increasing demand for its Illustration Rare copy on Surging Sparks and this recently printed Ceruledge ex in Prismatic Evolutions.
9. Pikachu ex (Hyper Rare)
Looks like fans still can’t get enough of the Surging Sparks fever — yet another Stellar Tera Pikachu ex makes the cut in our list of 10 most valuable Prismatic evolution cards.
Note that this card’s illustration is the same one from Surging Sparks, courtesy of CG Works, so you won’t have to worry about a reprint price dip.
8. Espeon ex
Espeon, the Psychic-type evolved form of Eevee, is part of the second batch of Eeveelutions introduced in the second generation of the video game franchise.
This Sp. Attack sweeper is back again on TCG since its last appearance in Obsidian Flames. Its ex copy sends opposing Pokemon back in time with its devolving move, Amazez.
7. Flareon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
The latest printing of this Flareon card doesn’t have much firepower when played in games. Its strongest move is capable of dealing insane damage, but renders Flareon ex useless in the next turn.
Nonetheless, the market still puts a premium on Flareon ex. After all, it remains a part of a highly revered evolution line.
6. Vaporeon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
If you’re a dedicated Pokemon fan, you’re likely well aware of Vaporeon’s popularity—and let’s just say those infamous Reddit posts and memes have made sure of that.
Nevertheless, hardcore Pokemon card collectors will be sure to include this Special Illustration Vaporeon ex on their watchlist.
5. Glaceon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Now this is where this list becomes more interesting, for the top five all comprise Eeveelutions, starting with this Special Illustration Rare Glaceon ex.
As expected for a Stellar Tera Pokemon ex, Glaceon ex possesses an overpowered move called Euclase, where it knocks out an opposing Active Pokemon, albeit on the condition that it has exactly six damage counters.
4. Leafeon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
In the games, using a Leaf Stone on an Eevee triggers its evolution into a Leafeon, a Grass-type Pokemon with high defense.
Likewise, for Leafeon’s latest Pokemon card, this Leafeon ex serves as an efficient wall for Grass-type decks. It has 270 HP and a move that not only deals 230 damage but also heals all of the user’s Benched Pokemon.
3. Umbreon (Master Ball Holo)
While they’re not as elusive as Special Illustration cards, Master Ball Holos are still highly sought after by collectors today, especially this copy of Umbreon from Prismatic Evolutions.
Master Ball Holos are reverse holo cards printed with a special background depicting a Master Ball, the rarest and most effective type of Poke Ball.
2. Sylveon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Sylveon might be the most recent addition to the Eeveelutions, but it is certainly not the last in terms of popularity.
As for its card in Prismatic Evolutions, prices are going crazy at the moment. Apart from having an eye-catching color and artwork, it looks like Sylveon ex would make a good addition to modern Psychic-type decks due to its efficient stalling abilities.
1. Umbreon ex (Special Illustration Rare)
Finally, sitting pretty at the top is none other than the Special Illustration Rare Umbreon ex. Its artwork turns Umbreon into a sort of deity, which is fitting given the Pokemon’s iconic status.
Regardless of how the card market will behave, it is safe to say that this card will remain the most expensive one in the set.
Trends imply that it might even increase in value in the following weeks as more people test their luck against this card’s staggering 0.05% pull rate, equivalent to one in every 1,696 packs.
