Eevee 245/SM-P was never sold in a booster pack. It was handed out at Japanese Pokémon Card Gyms in the summer of 2018 to players who showed up and played three free battles — a straightforward attendance prize rather than a set pull.
The card is イーブイ — Eevee, numbered 245/SM-P in the Japanese Sun & Moon promo series (Limitless set code SMP, no dash), printed as a kira/holo campaign promo. We currently list a PSA 10 copy of this exact print, and this guide covers what the card is, how it was distributed, how it compares to its English counterpart, and where it sits among Japanese promo tiers.
Eevee 245/SM-P is a kira/holo Pokémon Card Gym attendance promo from the July 2018 “GX Start Battle — Get Eevee” campaign. We list a PSA 10 copy at ¥16,390 (~$103). It has no connection to the unrelated 2021 Eevee Heroes (S6a) expansion — if you’re after that set instead, our S6a Eevee Heroes Japanese Booster Box is listed separately.

The Card: Eevee 245/SM-P (Promo)
Eevee — イーブイ in Japanese — is a Basic Colorless-type Pokémon carrying 60 HP. The 245/SM-P print has an Ability called エナジーしんか (Energy Evolution) and an attack called クイックドロー (Quick Draw), a coin-flip move. The print is illustrated by Saya Tsuruta.
The number itself tells you what kind of card this is. SM-P is the Japanese Sun & Moon-era promo numbering track (Limitless catalogues it as set code SMP, written without a dash), and 245 is simply this card’s position in that ongoing promo series — not a position inside a boxed expansion. Cards on the SM-P track were released individually across tournaments, campaigns, magazines and store events throughout the Sun & Moon era rather than in a single set.
Our own graded copy of this print is a PSA 10, currently listed at ¥16,390 (~$103).
Print History: Eevee and the Wider SM-P Promo Series
The documented Japanese print of this Eevee is the single 245/SM-P kira/holo card handed out through the GX Start Battle campaign. There is no earlier or later Japanese release of this exact card on record.
| Series | Number | Rarity | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun & Moon Promo (SM-P) | 245/SM-P | Promo (Kira/Holo) | Jul 2018 — Pokémon Card Gym attendance |
Because SM-P is an ongoing numbered promo track rather than a boxed set, it’s worth seeing this Eevee alongside a couple of its neighbours on that same track to understand the format. Both cards below are different Pokémon, from the same promo series, distributed through different campaigns — not other prints of this Eevee.
For a fuller run-through of the series this Eevee belongs to, see our SM-P promo cards guide, which surveys the series as a whole rather than focusing on a single card the way this guide does.
The Distribution: GX Start Battle at Pokémon Card Gyms
This Eevee was not sold. It was distributed through “GXスタートバトル 〜イーブイをゲット〜” (“GX Start Battle — Get Eevee”), a campaign run at Pokémon Card Gyms across Japan. According to the official Pokémon Card announcement dated 15 June 2018, the campaign began on Friday, 13 July 2018.
The mechanic was simple: a participant needed to bring a GX Start Deck and complete three or more free battles at a participating Gym session. Completing that requirement earned the player the promo Eevee — the kira/holo 245/SM-P print covered in this guide — as their attendance reward. It wasn’t a prize for winning; it was a prize for showing up and playing.
Because this print dates to a 2018 event promo rather than a boxed release, it falls well outside the confirmed 2001–2016 window in which Japanese 1st Edition marks were used, so this card carries no 1st Edition stamp of any kind.
Where This Promo Sits Among Japanese Rarity Tiers
Campaign and event promos like this Eevee sit on a separate track from mainline booster-pack rarities such as Common, Rare, Special Art Rare or Secret Rare. Those tiers describe a card’s position inside a specific boxed expansion’s pull structure; a card numbered on the SM-P track, by contrast, was never part of a booster box’s pull structure at all — it reached players only through the Gym campaign described above.
Within that promo track, the kira/holo finish on 245/SM-P is the standard treatment used for this generation of Sun & Moon-era Gym promos, distinguishing it from plain non-foil promo cards issued through other channels during the same period. For a broader look at how Japanese TCG rarity tiers are labelled and what separates them, see our best Eevee cards guide, which surveys Eevee prints across multiple Japanese sets and tiers.
Where to Buy Eevee Cards from Tokyo
Our graded copy of PSA 10 Eevee 245/SM-P is currently listed at ¥16,390 (~$103), shipped from Tokyo with tracked delivery. Since this is a campaign promo rather than a boosted pull, there is no sealed source product for it — the PSA 10 listing above is the direct route to this specific print.
If you’re building out a wider Eevee collection rather than chasing this one promo specifically, note that Eevee also headlines an entirely separate, later Japanese expansion: the 2021 Eevee Heroes (S6a) set, which is unrelated to this 2018 promo campaign. We carry the S6a Eevee Heroes Japanese Booster Box at ¥159,600, and the full Eevee Heroes Eeveelutions Set (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) at ¥400,000. For that set’s full card list and box contents, see our Eevee Heroes (S6a) card list and box guide and our Eevee Heroes Eeveelutions Set guide.
Eevee Heroes also drives interest in some of its Eeveelution-adjacent singles, such as PSA 10 Pikachu C 026/069 (s6a), listed at ¥11,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Eevee 245/SM-P?
It is a kira/holo Japanese promo card, number 245 on the Sun & Moon promo series (SM-P), distributed as an attendance prize through the July 2018 “GX Start Battle — Get Eevee” campaign at Pokémon Card Gyms. We list a PSA 10 copy at ¥16,390 (~$103).
How did you get the Eevee 245/SM-P promo card?
Participants brought a GX Start Deck to a participating Pokémon Card Gym session and completed three or more free battles. Completing that was enough to receive the promo Eevee as an attendance reward — it was not tied to winning.
Is Eevee 245/SM-P connected to the Eevee Heroes (S6a) set?
No. Eevee Heroes (S6a) is a separate, later Japanese expansion released in 2021, three years after this 2018 Gym attendance promo. The two are unrelated releases that happen to both feature Eevee.
Does Eevee 245/SM-P have a 1st Edition version?
No. This is a 2018 promo card, which falls outside the confirmed 2001–2016 window in which Japanese 1st Edition marks were used, so this print carries no 1st Edition stamp.
Does Eevee 245/SM-P have an English print?
Yes — the English equivalent is Sun & Moon (base set) #101, distributed through ordinary retail booster releases rather than an event campaign.
Where can I buy a PSA 10 Eevee 245/SM-P from Tokyo?
Our graded copy is currently listed at ¥16,390 (~$103) with tracked shipping from Tokyo. Since this is a campaign promo rather than a booster pull, there is no sealed product route to this specific print.
