It is a beautiful card and a no brainer determination on your binder.

I am calling Destined Rivals as the very best Scarlet and Violet set for it sheer quantity of detailed and expresive paintings, and Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SIR is a implausible instance of this.

With calls to the Pokémon League within the early anime (See the fireplace lamps on the prime of the stadium) and massive display screen behind trainers on platforms, Garchomp may be seen lunging ahead and breaking floor because it goes. Superb card and effectively definitely worth the cash.

It is a good time to snap it up, should you’ve acquired the money, however the quantity of nostalgia and detailed but delicate paintings on this card will make it climb again up as we transfer away from the Scarlet and Violet period over time to return.

This was considered one of my essential chase playing cards from Destined Rivals, simply take a look at it. Not solely have we acquired psychological quantities of nostalgia for Pokémon Gold and Silver OGs, however it jogs my memory a lot of the primary ever episode of Pokémon when Ho-Oh was revealed for the primary time (which was earlier than Pokémon Gold and Silver launched). It is a beautiful illustration which means a lot to loads of trainers, and I half anticipated the $300 market worth earlier than launch.

Greninja ex SIR is my favourite on this article as I’ve it graded in a ten and I am being utterly bias. Joking apart (I am not) however this is likely one of the finest artworks exterior of Prismatic Evolutions within the Scarlet and Violet period.

Twilight Masquerade was a slept on set for my part, however the probabilities of pulling this are stacked. You probably have the cash upfront, i might put it into this card as an alternative of making an attempt to tear packs.

Present Market Worth: $1,162.95

We all the time knew it was going to be insanely priced, and we would have liked a less expensive Umbreon chase card after Umbreon VMAX (Moonbreon).

Granted, it is nonetheless a psychological market value, and over $1,000. But it surely will not get cheaper solely as a result of it is Umbreon and nearly something linked to this darkish sort Eeveelution holds it is worth, belief me on this.

If you happen to’re courageous sufficient to drop $1,000 on Prismatic Eeveelutions boosters, and even this card standalone, I salute your efforts, and your checking account.

Honorable Mentions: Even Extra Eeveelutions

The cash in Prismatic Evolution chase playing cards is insane, and it all the time might be, which is why the remainder of the Eeveelutions want a devoted part to themselves! These may’ve dominated the entire article, in any other case.

For starters, Glaceon ex SIR is a stunner, however I all the time desire seeing Pokémon playing cards with a little bit of motion and motion in them. I’ve to say although, the ornate ice patterns and general terastalisation of Glaceon is dipicted so effectively. It is also one of many much less eye-wateringly costly Eeveelution playing cards from Prismatic Evolutions on the minute.

Maintaining the development is considered one of my favorites, Jolteon ex SIR from Prismatic Evolutions. There’s been some banger Jolteon Playing cards prior to now, for me that will be Jolteon from the Sensible Stars Coach Gallery and the Jolteon V Sword and Protect Promo Card, however this one has limitless vitality. Simply take a look at how expressive this card is, completely showcasing Jolteons velocity and agility with one of many coolest backgrounds i’ve seen in a Pokémon card.

The cell shading blended with comedian e-book artstyle of Vaporeon ex SIR from Prismatic Evolutions is a stunner. Simply take a look at how mild is captured in each drop of water and crystal. Plus I feel this is likely one of the cutest depictions of this water-type Eeveelution we have had for a while. Absolute banger of a card and would do a flip terribly if I pulled this beast.

One other lovely pastel paintings with Espeon ex SIR. On prime of Espeon being a fan favourite, it is simple to see why this card is now over $300. I’ve by no means seen that many shades of purple in such a small area earlier than, such a surprising piece of artwork, think about pulling this, getting a ten then getting it in your slabbed assortment? Stuff of desires.

I really like me an excellent woodblock print, and Leafeon ex SIR provides me large custom Japanese artwork vibes. The daring colors, thick traces and the general great thing about this makes it definitely worth the price ticket.Verdant storm for a grass and colourless vitality may be devestating too, 60 x harm for each vitality connected to your whole opponents Pokémon. Deadly!

It is such a disgrace Fairy typing did not come again for Sylveon ex SIR, as a result of I am unable to consider a extra Fairy sort Pokémon card ever. It is one other stunner with a cute stance and a pastel colour pallete that simply makes it. There’s that a lot pink it simply works, a implausible card and its straightforward to see why it is over $400, particularly because it’s one of the in style Eeveelutions.
