Getting a somewhat staggered release starting January 27, 2025, Prismatic Evolutions is looking really, really exciting. It’s the first expansion since the now legendary Evolving Skies to feature the Eevee evolutions (known as Eeveelutions).

This set is eagerly anticipated, with preorders even selling out online and at local game stores everywhere. Why? Apart from excitement for what is going to undoubtedly be an exciting set, collectors are particularly excited about just how valuable some of these cards are likely to be.

Evolving Skies is arguably the most valuable recent Pokemon set, and the epic Moonbreon card (Umbreon VMAX Alt Art) fetches insane amounts online even ungraded. Given the tie-ins between this set and that one, people are eager to see similar kinds of values for these cards.

While I don’t think these Eeveelutions will be as valuable as those we saw in Evolving Skies, they will still be highly collectible. And as we’ve seen in Surging Sparks, Scarlet & Violet era chase cards can be just as valuable as those from Sword and Shield.

All of that being said, let’s get into it below: my list of the most expensive chase cards in Prismatic Evolutions.

#1 Umbreon ex – Special Illustration Rare is the Most Expensive Prismatic Evolutions Card

There’s really no secret as to which of the cards in Prismatic Evolutions is the most expensive: it’s going to be Umbreon ex. People are already incredibly hyped about this card, sharing early prerelease prices from people who have preordered this card. I’m not exactly sure why you would do that before seeing what this card is actually worth, but it could be they are anticipating it to go up in price once the products actually hit the shelves.

Is this the next Moonbreon – the iconic card featured in Evolving Skies? I highly doubt it. It will be worth a solid chunk of change, but as I point out in my Prismatic Evolutions preview, there were a unique set of circumstances that helped drive Moonbreon to such incredible prices in that set.

That being said, we have one of the most iconic Pokemon combined with an unprecedented hype, and gorgeous artwork meaning this card is likely going to be worth hundreds of dollars even well after release.

#2 Glaceon ex Special Illustration Rare

It’s impossible to know exactly how these cards are going to stack up against one another, but I think it is highly likely the Glaceon will be the second most valuable card of the set. The Glaceon VMAX alt art from Evolving Skies holds up incredible value today, and Glaceon is arguably one of the more naturally beautiful of the Eeveelutions – something which lends itself to this card’s value. The winter theming of this card might also help its value at least initially as the set is going to be launching in the winter.

#3 Eevee ex – Special Illustration Rare

Eevee should be among the top chase cards in the set. What kind of value can we expect out of this card? Given the price tag associated with Pikachu ex from Surging Sparks on the secondary card market, I think we can expect a pretty high value to be ascribed to Evee. This artwork is pretty good, and I especially like the floral theming that reminds us of spring – a season undoubtedly Eevee enjoys. This also ties in with Pokemon game lore where Eevee is often found in grassy areas.

Evee is one of the most recognizeable Pokemon of them all, not far beneath Pikachu itself. I would expect this SIR treatment of it to be second or third most expensive overall.

#4 Sylveon ex – Special Illustration Rare

For whatever reason, Sylveon seems to be one of the less popular Eevelutions, which is why its cards are typically of slightly less value. Perhaps that’s because Sylveon hails from a relatively later generation as opposed to most of the others. Whatever the reason, you can still bet on this card being pretty pricey – probably just not as much so as the other Eevelutions we are getting SIR versions of.

#5 Dragapult ex – Special Illustration Rare

One that might surprise you is that Prismatic Evolutions isn’t just about Eeveelutions. Like other, similar special sets, Prismatic Evolutions also includes alternate artworks for cards from main sets who we haven’t seen receive additional rarities for. For example, Dragapult ex is getting a Special Illustration Rare card in this set, and it looks great.

Dragapult ex is a very popular deck, and players will be eager indeed to snag this card wether that’s to collect, add to their deck, or even if just to use as fodder for Regidrago VSTAR’s Apex Dragon attack.

#6 Teal Mask Ogerpon ex

Another non-Eeveelution chase card from this set is bound to be Teal Mask Ogerpon ex. Teal Mask is a big part of Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC, and this card has seen a ton of play in the competitive. It’s the backbone for more than one competitive deck, acting as dual draw engine/engery accelerant for the likes of Raging Bolt and Regidrago VSTAR.

While we have had an SIR print of this card before, that one was very tame in comparison to the fantabulous illustration found here.

#7 Terapagos ex – Special Illustration Rare

I’m not exactly sure we needed another Terapagos ex SIR given how gorgeous and valuable the original is – but this one is just as gorgeous while at the same time a bit more up-close and personal. It will undoubtedly be one of the top chase cards from the set, if perhaps not quite as valuable as the one from Stellar Crown.

#8 Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex – Special Illustration Rare

There was a time when it felt like every deck wanted to run Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex. While not perhaps as prevalent today as it was in its prime, it’s still a broadly used card. While the original SIR we got of this card featured a relatively tame Bloodmoon, this card goes hard into the darker-side of this Pokemon. The result is a captivating artwork that just looks cool.

It’s clear that Prismatic Evolutions – while being predominantly an Eeveelution set – has an incredible line of gorgeous and valuable SIR cards to chase. That being said, it’s about more than just Eevee. It’s about some of the greatest hits from the past year of the Pokemon TCG. It’s a way on closing the door on one important era of the game and pointing forward to some of the exciting sets that are already teased to be coming out later in the year.
