Honorable Mentions

While the Eeveelutions dominate the spotlight, several other cards in Prismatic Evolutions deserve recognition. These pulls might not have cracked the top 10, but they’re still highly collectible and worth keeping an eye on:

  • Mewtwo EX SIR: a breathtaking psychic powerhouse that blends nostalgia with modern design. Mewtwo cards are almost always long-term holds for collectors.

  • Charizard EX Full Art: Charizard will always be a chase, even when it’s not the top card in the set. This version is fiery, bold, and an instant fan favorite.

  • Gardevoir EX SIR: with its elegant artwork and strong playability, Gardevoir continues to be a popular choice for both competitive players and collectors.

  • Iron Valiant EX SIR: a futuristic counterpart to Roaring Moon, this card combines meta relevance with sleek, cybernetic artwork.

  • Pikachu Illustration Rare: every set with Pikachu gets extra attention, and this one is no different. Cute, colorful, and always in demand.

These cards may not always hit the same market highs as Umbreon EX or Sylveon EX, but they’re fantastic pulls that round out what makes Prismatic Evolutions so special.

1. Umbreon EX SIR - #161/131

Umbreon is no stranger to topping chase lists, and its Prismatic Evolutions SIR may be one of its most iconic versions yet. The artwork highlights its mysterious, night-dwelling nature, which resonates with fans who’ve loved this Dark-type since the Johto days. Historically, Umbreon cards (like Umbreon VMAX Alt Art from Evolving Skies) have held huge long-term value, and this card is shaping up to follow the same path.
Market value: Currently selling around $850–$900 raw, with PSA 10s fetching significantly higher.

2. Sylveon EX SIR - #156/131

Sylveon EX continues its reign as the most elegant Eeveelution. Known for its fairy-like ribbons and calming design, Sylveon has a massive fanbase, particularly among collectors who prioritize aesthetics. This SIR card blends vibrant colors with graceful details, making it one of the most eye-catching pulls in the set.
Market value: Around $210–$270 raw depending on condition.

3. Leafeon EX SIR - #144/131

Leafeon EX brings leafy vibrance and earthy tones to Prismatic Evolutions. While it may not always lead the charts in raw market value, its place in the hearts of nature-loving collectors is unmatched. Leafeon cards often appeal to a niche but devoted fanbase, and this SIR version delivers lush, collectible artwork that stands out in a binder.
Market value: Usually sits close to $200.

4. Espeon EX SIR - #155/131

Espeon’s psychic powers have made it one of the most iconic Pokémon since the Gold & Silver era, and its EX SIR doesn’t disappoint. The card leans into cosmic imagery, tying in perfectly with Espeon’s lore as a Pokémon connected to the sun. Fans of older sets will recall the legendary Espeon Gold Sta, proof that Espeon cards tend to age very well in collector value.
Market value: Typically $175–$200 raw.

5. Jolteon EX SIR - #153/131

Fast, flashy, and full of lightning, Jolteon EX is an electric addition to the chase list. The SIR artwork emphasizes its quick-strike energy, something that has made Jolteon a fan-favorite since the earliest days of the TCG. Like its VMAX Alt Art from Evolving Skies, this version is likely to be a staple in both high-value collections and competitive decks.
Market value: Roughly $160–$190.

Fun fact

Prismatic Evolutions is the first set where all nine Eeveelutions appear together in Special Illustration Rare form, a milestone that makes it a historic must-have for collectors.

6. Vaporeon EX SIR - #149/131

As one of the original trio of Eeveelutions, Vaporeon holds a special place in the fandom. Its Prismatic Evolutions SIR captures its calm and aquatic elegance perfectly. Vaporeon has long been a collector favorite thanks to its role in the Base Set days, and this card continues that tradition with dazzling water-themed artwork.
Market value: Around $140–$170 raw.

7. Glaceon EX SIR - #150/131

Glaceon doesn’t always get the spotlight compared to Umbreon or Sylveon, but this SIR gives it a well-deserved moment to shine. The icy aesthetic and sharp, crystalline detailing make it a beautiful display card. Collectors who favor underrated Pokémon often chase Glaceon for its unique charm and cool design.
Market value: Around $150 raw.

8. Flareon EX SIR - #146/131

The fiery counterpart to Vaporeon and Jolteon, Flareon EX brings heat to the set with vivid flames and nostalgic power. Flareon’s fanbase spans generations, and its cards often carry long-term collector appeal thanks to its inclusion in the original Eevee lineup. This SIR captures its blazing energy in a way that feels modern yet classic.
Market value: Generally $130–$160 raw.

9. Roaring Moon EX SIR - #162/131

While the Eeveelutions dominate the set, Roaring Moon EX stands tall as a competitive powerhouse. As one of the most played cards in the Scarlet & Violet meta, this Special Illustration Rare is more than just collectible — it’s useful. Competitive demand plus striking artwork ensures Roaring Moon holds its place among the best chase cards in the set.
Market value: Around $140–$180 raw.

10. Eevee EX - #167/131

Of course, no list would be complete without Eevee itself. This card celebrates the Pokémon that started it all, offering collectors a way to round out their Eeveelution chase. Eevee EX may not command the same price tag as Umbreon or Sylveon, but its cultural importance in the set makes it a must-have. For many collectors, completing the Prismatic Evolutions lineup isn’t possible without this card.
Market value: Typically $100–$150 raw.
