Espeon, the psychic 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 the 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 does not have much firepower when played in games. Its strongest move is capable of doing insane damage, but renders Flareon ex useless next turn.

Nevertheless, the market still puts a premium on Flareon ex. After all, it remains part of a highly revered line of development.

6. Vaporeon ex (Special Illustration Rare)

Nevertheless, hardcore Pokemon card collectors will be sure to include this Special Illustration Vaporeon ex on their watch list.

Now this is where this list gets more interesting, because the top five includes all Eeveelutions, starting with this Special Illustration Rare Glaceon ex.

As expected for a Stellar Tera Pokemon ex, the Glaceon ex possesses an overwhelmed 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.

For Leafeon’s latest Pokémon cards, this Leafeon ex also serves as an effective 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 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 powerful type of Poke Ball.

2. Sylveon ex (Special Illustration Rare)

Sylveon may be the latest addition to Eeveelutions, but it’s certainly not the last in terms of popularity.

As for its cards in Prismatic Evolutions, the prices are going crazy at the moment. Aside from having an eye-catching color and art, Sylveon ex seems like it would be a good addition to modern psychic-type decks due to its effective stalling abilities.

1. Umbreon ex (Special Illustration Rare)

Finally, sitting beautifully at the top is none other than Special Illustration Rare Umbreon ex. Its art makes Umbreon a deity of sorts, which is fitting given Pokemon’s iconic status.

Regardless of how the card market will behave, it’s safe to say that this card will remain the most expensive of the set.

Trends suggest it may 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.
