Before there was “Moonbreon,” there was just Umbreon GX — a Japan-only card from a set most collectors have never opened a pack of, and it’s still worth checking your binder for.
Umbreon GX (ブラッキーGX) debuted in Japan’s SM1M コレクションムーン / Collection Moon on December 9, 2016, part of the very first Sun & Moon GX wave — the Moon-side base set of the era, printed only on that half of the original two-box split (there is no matching Collection Sun printing of this card). Ten confirmed printings exist across Japanese and English releases through 2019, and the card sits at an odd intersection: it predates the “Moonbreon” Umbreon VMAX alt art by five years and shares none of its prints — a card that debuted in Japan’s Collection Moon and later received five English printings.
Japan’s original Sun & Moon wave shipped as a two-box split — Collection Sun and Collection Moon — and Umbreon GX landed on the Moon side only. There is no matching Collection Sun printing carrying this card, so unlike some later GX-era chases that got parallel Sun and Moon versions, there’s only one Collection Moon lineage to track for Umbreon GX — three rarities, one set, one release date.
This guide tables every Umbreon GX printing, walks through the three Collection Moon rarities plus the two rarer chase prints, and lines up secondary-market asking prices against our own catalog. We ship Japanese Sun & Moon-era singles out of Tokyo, so the pricing here reflects what we’re actually working with.
Ten confirmed Umbreon GX printings exist, headlined by the Collection Moon (SM1M) HR 069/060 rainbow secret and the GX Ultra Shiny (SM8b) SSR 229/150. Our PSA 10 copy of the HR is currently listed at ¥375,700 (~$2,556) — inside snkrdunk’s four-listing PSA 10 asking-price band of ¥289,000–¥650,000 (~$1,966–$4,422). The SSR and the SM-P 125 promo are recently listed at ¥270,169 (~$1,838) and ¥234,267 (~$1,594) respectively; check current stock before ordering either.
Prices are ¥ secondary-market listings as of August 2026, converted at ¥147/USD, sourced from our own catalog unless noted. For the wider Umbreon card family, see our top Umbreon cards guide, and for the VMAX-era alt art specifically, our Moonbreon (Umbreon VMAX) value guide.
Every Umbreon GX Printing and What It’s Worth
Per Bulbapedia’s confirmed print list, ten Umbreon GX printings exist across two languages — five Japanese and five English (including a Black Star promo). Here’s every one:
| Card | Set | Year | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Umbreon GX 069/060 HR (Rainbow) | Collection Moon (SM1M, JPN) | 2016 | currently listed at ¥375,700 (~$2,556) |
| Umbreon GX 063/060 SR (Full Art) | Collection Moon (SM1M, JPN) | 2016 | not currently in our catalog |
| Umbreon GX 037/060 RR | Collection Moon (SM1M, JPN) | 2016 | not currently in our catalog |
| Umbreon GX 229/150 SSR (Shiny) | GX Ultra Shiny (SM8b, JPN) | 2018 | recently listed at ¥270,169 (~$1,838) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) |
| Umbreon GX 125/SM-P (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) (Promo) | SM-P Promotional Cards (JPN) | 2018–2019 | recently listed at ¥234,267 (~$1,594) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) |
| Umbreon-GX 80/149 (Rare Holo GX) | Sun & Moon base (SUM, ENG) | 2017 | not currently in our catalog |
| Umbreon-GX 142/149 (Full Art Ultra Rare) | Sun & Moon base (SUM, ENG) | 2017 | not currently in our catalog |
| Umbreon-GX 154/149 (Secret Rainbow Rare) | Sun & Moon base (SUM, ENG) | 2017 | not currently in our catalog |
| Umbreon-GX SM36 (Promo, regular + Jumbo) | SM Black Star Promos (SMP, ENG) | 2017 | not currently in our catalog |
| Umbreon-GX SV69/SV94 (Shiny Rare) | Hidden Fates – Shiny Vault (HIF, ENG) | 2019 | not currently in our catalog |
Two things are worth flagging up front. First, Umbreon GX is a Moon-side exclusive — Bulbapedia’s Collection Moon print list carries all three JP base-set rarities (037/060 RR, 063/060 SR, 069/060 HR), and there is no matching Collection Sun printing of the same card. Second, the artist is 5ban Graphics across every confirmed print, JP and EN alike — unlike some Tag Team-era chase cards, there’s no one-off commissioned alt art in this lineup.
For the wider Umbreon card family across every era, see our top Umbreon cards guide. For the 2021 VMAX-era Umbreon that most people mean when they say “Moonbreon,” jump to our comparison section below or read the full Moonbreon value guide.
Collection Moon (SM1M): The Original JP Trio
Collection Moon released December 9, 2016 as the Moon-side base set of the very first Sun & Moon GX wave, and it carries Umbreon GX in three rarities: the standard holofoil 037/060 RR, the full-art 063/060 SR pictured above, and the rainbow secret 069/060 HR — our anchor product for this guide.
The 069/060 HR is the printing most collectors mean when they ask about “the” Umbreon GX chase card from this set. Our PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥375,700 (~$2,556), which lands comfortably inside snkrdunk’s asking-price band for the same print — see the market snapshot below for the full spread.
The 063/060 SR full art, pictured above, is the middle tier: edge-to-edge illustrated artwork without the rainbow foil pattern of the HR. It isn’t currently in our catalog. The base 037/060 RR is the standard holofoil pull most people get first out of a Collection Moon box, also not currently listed.
All three Collection Moon prints share the same illustration style from 5ban Graphics. Check the card number in the bottom corner: 037 is the standard holofoil, 063 is full art with no rainbow foil, and 069 is the rainbow secret — the number, not the artwork style, is what tells the three apart.
The Two Rarer Chases: SM8b SSR and the SM-P Promo
Two printings sit outside the Collection Moon base set entirely, and one of them is the consensus top chase for this card.
The SM8b GX Ultra Shiny 229/150 SSR, released November 2, 2018, is a shiny-color-variant secret print — the format the SSR era used to reprint fan-favorite GX Pokemon in an alternate palette, packaged as a dedicated high-class pack product rather than a mainline expansion. Market consensus generally places SSR 229/150 first among the Japanese chases, followed by HR 069/060. Our PSA 10 copy is recently listed at ¥270,169 (~$1,838) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — check current stock before ordering.
The SM-P 125/SM-P promo was distributed as an 8-Play-Point redemption prize at Champions League event venues during the 2018–2019 season and the Pokémon Japan Championships — a tournament-attendance reward rather than a pack pull. Our PSA 10 copy is recently listed at ¥234,267 (~$1,594) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order); also check stock before ordering.
The English Side: Sun & Moon Base, SM36, Hidden Fates
The Sun & Moon base set (SUM, February 3, 2017) carried Umbreon-GX in three tiers, and two later English-only releases added a promo and a shiny reprint:
| Set / Product | Number | Rarity | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun & Moon (base set) | 80/149 | Rare Holo GX | 2017 |
| Sun & Moon (base set) | 142/149 | Full Art Ultra Rare | 2017 |
| Sun & Moon (base set) | 154/149 | Secret (Rainbow) Rare | 2017 |
| SM Black Star Promos | SM36 | Promo (regular + Jumbo) | 2017 |
| Hidden Fates – Shiny Vault | SV69/SV94 | Shiny Rare | 2019 |
The English secret-rainbow 154/149 is the direct counterpart to the Japanese 069/060 HR, and the Hidden Fates SV69 shiny is the English equivalent slot to the SM8b SSR — both are recognized as the English-side chase prints, released within the Shiny Vault subset of Hidden Fates. The SM36 promo, released July 14, 2017, exists in both a regular and an oversized Jumbo card format, distinct from the SM-P 125 Japanese promo despite the similar promo-card status. None of the five English printings are currently in our catalog; we handle this card primarily as a Japanese import, so no dollar figures are quoted for the English prints here.
Secondary-Market Asking Prices
We checked snkrdunk’s marketplace for independent context on the Japanese printings. These are asking-price spreads from active listings, not confirmed sales, so treat them as a directional check against our own catalog price rather than a market consensus:
- 069/060 HR, PSA 10: four listings spanning ¥289,000, ¥433,000, ¥550,000 and ¥650,000 (~$1,966–$4,422) — a wide spread rather than a tight cluster. Our own catalog price of ¥375,700 (~$2,556) falls inside this band, toward the lower half.
- 069/060, ungraded (raw): the lowest single listing observed was ¥30,000, with one condition-B listing at ¥100,000 — both single listings, so treat these as weak reference points rather than a market range.
We did not find a usable multi-listing snkrdunk asking-price range for the SM8b SSR 229/150 or the SM-P 125 promo at the time of this check — our own catalog prices above are the only pricing given for those two tiers in this guide.
Which Umbreon GX Fits Your Budget
Working from the catalog and market figures above:
- ~$1,600 — the SM-P 125 promo, recently listed at ¥234,267 (~$1,594) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). A tournament-distribution promo rather than a set-pulled card, and the lowest-priced PSA 10 in our current catalog for this Pokemon.
- ~$1,800 — the SM8b SSR 229/150 shiny, recently listed at ¥270,169 (~$1,838) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). The consensus rarer chase of the two non-Collection Moon prints, in the dedicated shiny-secret slot.
- ~$2,556 and up — the Collection Moon HR 069/060, our catalog’s anchor listing at ¥375,700 (~$2,556), sitting inside snkrdunk’s four-listing PSA 10 band of ¥289,000–¥650,000 (~$1,966–$4,422). Where exactly you land in that band depends on which listing you’re comparing against — check current asking prices before treating any single figure as the market.
A ¥289,000–¥650,000 band across only four listings is wide, not tight. If you’re pricing a copy against this data, decide your target price from the low end of the band rather than anchoring to the highest ask you happen to see first.
Umbreon GX vs “Moonbreon” — Not the Same Card
If you searched “Umbreon GX” and landed here expecting the card nicknamed “Moonbreon,” it’s worth clearing up: that nickname belongs to a different Umbreon entirely. “Moonbreon” refers to the Umbreon VMAX alternate art from the VMAX era (Japanese Eevee Heroes S6a / English Evolving Skies, 2021) — a full-art VMAX card, not a GX card, and five years newer than every printing in this guide.
Umbreon GX and Umbreon VMAX share zero overlapping prints — different card type, different set family, different illustrators across the two eras. What they do share is collector demand: Umbreon has consistently anchored Eeveelution chase-card interest across both the GX and VMAX generations, even though the cards themselves are unrelated. If the VMAX alt art is what you’re actually after, our full Moonbreon (Umbreon VMAX) value guide covers every printing of that card. For the Umbreon lineup across every era side by side, see our top Umbreon cards guide, and for the related 30th-anniversary Espeon & Umbreon premium deck release, our 30th Celebration Premium Deck Set guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Umbreon GX printings are the consensus chases?
Consensus treats the SM8b GX Ultra Shiny 229/150 SSR as the rarer of the two top chases, with the Collection Moon 069/060 HR close behind. We have pricing for both: the SSR is recently listed at ¥270,169 (about $1,838), and the HR is currently listed at ¥375,700 (about $2,556) — inside snkrdunk’s PSA 10 asking-price band of ¥289,000 to ¥650,000 for that print.
How many versions of Umbreon GX are there?
Ten confirmed printings: five Japanese (Collection Moon RR 037/060, SR 063/060, HR 069/060, the SM-P 125 promo, and the SM8b SSR 229/150) and five English (Sun & Moon base set 80/149, 142/149 and 154/149, the SM36 promo, and Hidden Fates Shiny Vault SV69). Umbreon GX is Moon-side exclusive in Japan — there is no Collection Sun printing of this card.
Is Umbreon GX the same card as “Moonbreon”?
No. “Moonbreon” is the nickname for the Umbreon VMAX alternate art from the 2021 VMAX era (Japanese Eevee Heroes / English Evolving Skies) — a full-art VMAX card, five years newer, with no printings in common with Umbreon GX.
How was the SM-P 125 promo distributed?
As an 8-Play-Point redemption prize at Champions League event venues during the 2018–2019 season and the Pokémon Japan Championships — a tournament-attendance reward rather than a set pull.
Where can I buy a PSA 10 Umbreon GX?
Our PSA 10 Collection Moon HR is currently listed at ¥375,700 (about $2,556) and ships from Tokyo with tracked delivery. The SSR and SM-P promo are recently listed at ¥270,169 and ¥234,267 respectively — confirm current stock, or submit a restock request via Quick Order.
