Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon full art cards still get first billing on almost every Eeveelution chase list: Eevee had eight evolutions eventually, but only three for the first seven years of the Pokemon TCG’s existence. Every set that revisits the family gives the original trio the same four-tier treatment: a V or ex base print, a Special Art or SAR alternate-art chase card, a 151 “Master Ball” parallel, and (for the lucky ones) a YU NAGABA collaboration promo.
We ship Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo.
Across the original trio, the S6a Eevee Heroes “V SA” alternate-art prints and the YU NAGABA collaboration promos are the two tiers collectors fight over hardest.

- The Eevee Heroes booster box links to its product page.
- More Japanese singles and sets are on the Japanese Pokemon card list page.
A quick note on names before we start: the modern Scarlet & Violet era gave both the SV2a Pokemon Card 151 set and the SV8a Terastal Fest ex set alternate-art parallels sharing the same card number as a base print, and collectors commonly call these “Master Ball” parallels after the Poke Ball watermark that distinguishes them. We use that shorthand the way it appears on our own listings, alongside the official set and number for each card.

Vaporeon, Jolteon & Flareon Full Art Cards: Japanese SR, SAR and CHR Prints
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings.

Vaporeon: V SA, Master Ball Mirror & 151
Vaporeon’s chase run starts with S6a Eevee Heroes, the 2021 subset that gave every Eeveelution its own V card plus two separate Special Art (SR-rarity, “SA”) alternate illustrations layered on top of the set’s base 69-card count. Vaporeon V’s base RR print is 015/069; the two SA prints run 074/069 and 075/069, both SR. The 075/069 print is the one most collectors reach for, and its English counterpart is Evolving Skies 172/203, a Rare Ultra full-art illustrated by 5ban Graphics.
The next tier down comes from SV8a Terastal Fest ex, where base Vaporeon carries the number 030/187. The Master Ball mirror is the Poke Ball watermark parallel of that same 030/187 print. Vaporeon ex, the Tera-typed evolution card in the same set, sits at RR-rarity number 031/187.
Vaporeon also appears at SV2a Pokemon Card 151, number 134/165, a Rare-rarity print illustrated by kirisAki. Like Jolteon and Flareon in the same set, 151 Vaporeon has a Master Ball parallel of the same number, which is the print most 151-set collectors specifically hunt for over the base Rare.
Finally, Vaporeon has its own YU NAGABA line-art promo, numbered 063/SV-P, part of the same 2023 “Eevee’s” collaboration covered in full in our YU NAGABA Pokemon card guide.
Jolteon: V SA, ex SAR & 151 Master Ball
Jolteon V follows the same S6a Eevee Heroes pattern: base RR at 030/069, then two SR “SA” alternate arts at 078/069 and 079/069. The 079/069 print is the headline chase card, mirrored in English by Evolving Skies 177/203 Rare Ultra, also illustrated by 5ban Graphics.
Terastal Fest ex is where Jolteon gets more interesting than its two teammates. Base Jolteon runs 051/187 and Jolteon ex runs 052/187 at RR. Beyond those standard prints, Jolteon has an ex SAR at 209/187 — a special-illustration alternate-art print of the Tera ex card.
At SV2a Pokemon Card 151, Jolteon is number 135/165, a Rare-rarity print illustrated by sui. Jolteon also has a Master Ball parallel of that same 135/165 print.
Jolteon’s YU NAGABA promo is numbered 064/SV-P, part of the same May 2023 “Eevee’s” release, distributed one card at random per ¥1,000 spent in-store, capped at ten promos per person. Our YU NAGABA guide covers the promo line. Our Jolteon Japanese Pokemon cards guide covers Jolteon on its own.
Flareon: V SA, ex SAR & 151 Master Ball
Flareon is where this trio’s numbers peak. In S6a Eevee Heroes, base Flareon V is 011/069 RR, and its two SA prints run 072/069 and 073/069 SR. That 073/069 print is the one pictured above as a graded PSA10 copy. Its English counterpart is Evolving Skies 169/203 Rare Ultra, illustrated by Souichirou Gunjima.
In Terastal Fest ex, base Flareon is 021/187 and Flareon ex is 022/187 RR. This set is also the only one of the three where all three original Eeveelutions received an ex SAR — Flareon’s is number 202/187, a special-illustration alternate art of the Tera ex card.
At SV2a Pokemon Card 151, Flareon is number 136/165, Rare-rarity, illustrated by Ryota Murayama. Flareon also has a Master Ball parallel of that print.
Flareon’s YU NAGABA promo is numbered 065/SV-P, part of the same 2023 “Eevee’s” collaboration as the Vaporeon (063/SV-P) and Jolteon (064/SV-P) promos. Like those two, it was distributed one card at random per ¥1,000 spent in-store, capped at ten promos per person, so no one could choose which Eeveelution they received.
The Combined Chase Hierarchy
Laid out side by side, the same four-tier structure repeats for all three Eeveelutions:
| Tier | Vaporeon | Jolteon | Flareon |
|---|---|---|---|
| V SA (S6a Eevee Heroes) | 075/069 SR | 079/069 SR | 073/069 SR |
| ex era (SV8a Terastal Fest ex) | 030/187 Master Ball mirror | 209/187 ex SAR | 202/187 ex SAR |
| 151 Master Ball (SV2a) | 134/165 | 135/165 | 136/165 |
| YU NAGABA promo (SV-P) | 063/SV-P | 064/SV-P | 065/SV-P |
The three SV2a Pokemon Card 151 prints are Rare-rarity cards numbered consecutively: Vaporeon 134/165 (illustrated by kirisAki), Jolteon 135/165 (illustrated by sui) and Flareon 136/165 (illustrated by Ryota Murayama), each with a Master Ball parallel of the same number. The three YU NAGABA promos are numbered 063/SV-P (Vaporeon), 064/SV-P (Jolteon) and 065/SV-P (Flareon), all from the 2023 “Eevee’s” collaboration, with the Terastal Fest ex base prints at 030/187 (Vaporeon), 051/187 (Jolteon) and 021/187 (Flareon).
For the wider family context — how these three compare to the five Eeveelutions that followed — our best Eevee cards guide ranks every evolution’s top chase print in one table. If you’re building out matching gen-two darkness and fairy-type cousins, see our Umbreon card guide and Sylveon card guide, and our Espeon card guide covers the psychic-type Eeveelution.
The Budget Entry: VMAX Climax CHR
Not every Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon card needs to be a four-figure chase. S8b VMAX Climax, the 2021 set famous for its rainbow “Character Rare” lineup, gave all three Eeveelutions a standard print plus a CHR alternate-art parallel: Vaporeon at 029/184 and 189/184 CHR, Jolteon at 049/184 and 193/184 CHR, and Flareon at 018/184 and 188/184 CHR.
Collectors sometimes describe VMAX Climax’s rainbow Eeveelution parallels as “CSR” (Character Super Rare) — but the trio’s alternate-art prints in this set are all CHR (Character Rare), one tier below CSR on VMAX Climax’s own rarity ladder. It’s a small distinction that matters if you’re searching by rarity code.
These CHR parallels are the most accessible official alternate-art prints of the original trio — nowhere near the price of a V SA or a Nagaba promo, but still a genuine alternate illustration rather than a standard holo. If you want to start a Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon collection without committing to the top tier first, this is the set to search.
Collector Strategy: Building the Trio
Because the four tiers repeat identically across all three Eeveelutions, the trio lends itself to a few different collecting approaches depending on budget and what “complete” means to you:
- Matched 151 Master Ball run. Jolteon (135/165), Flareon (136/165) and Vaporeon (134/165) each have a Master Ball parallel of the same number, which makes a same-tier, same-set trio.
- ex-era run. Vaporeon’s 030/187 Master Ball mirror, Jolteon’s 209/187 ex SAR and Flareon’s 202/187 ex SAR make a Terastal Fest ex trio.
- The two headline chase cards. If budget only stretches to one or two cards, Flareon’s V SA (073/069) and Nagaba promo (065/SV-P) are the trio’s two headline prints.
- Full nine-Eeveelution run. The V SA / SA structure, the 151 Master Ball tier, and the Nagaba promo campaign all extend to Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon card is the main chase?
Flareon’s S6a Eevee Heroes V SA (073/069) and its YU NAGABA promo (065/SV-P) are the headline chase prints of the original trio.
What is a “Master Ball” or “Master Ball mirror” Pokemon card?
In Scarlet & Violet-era Japanese sets like SV2a Pokemon Card 151 and SV8a Terastal Fest ex, certain cards get a parallel print sharing the same card number as the base version but carrying a Poke Ball or Master Ball watermark. Collectors call these “Master Ball” or “Master Ball mirror” prints, and they’re typically the version chased hardest within that card number.
Are the YU NAGABA Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon promos rare?
Yes. They were part of the 2023 “Eevee’s” collaboration, distributed one random promo per ¥1,000 spent on card products in-store at Pokemon Center and Pokemon Store locations in Japan, capped at ten cards per person. There was no way to buy a specific Eeveelution directly, which is why complete sets and specific evolutions like Flareon carry a premium today.
Is the VMAX Climax Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon trio CSR or CHR?
CHR (Character Rare). VMAX Climax’s alternate-art prints for the original trio — Vaporeon 189/184, Jolteon 193/184, and Flareon 188/184 — sit at the CHR rarity tier, one step below the set’s CSR (Character Super Rare) tier.
Where can I buy PSA10 graded Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon cards from Japan?
Browse our PSA10 collection for current graded listings, shipped tracked from Tokyo, or use Quick Order to request a specific card that is not listed.
Which Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon cards are full art?
Each of the three has two S6a Eevee Heroes V SA prints at SR rarity (Vaporeon 074/069 and 075/069, Jolteon 078/069 and 079/069, Flareon 072/069 and 073/069) and a VMAX Climax CHR (189/184, 193/184, 188/184). Jolteon (209/187) and Flareon (202/187) also have Terastal Fest ex SAR prints.
