Evolving Skies released in English on 27th August 2021 with 203 cards plus 34 secret rares — and every one of its headline chase cards started life in Japan months earlier, spread across three separate sets. If you have ever wondered why the Japanese alt-art Umbreon V looks identical to the English Ultra Rare but carries a different number, or why one popular alt art never made it into Evolving Skies at all, the answer is in how Pokemon assembled this set.
This guide ranks ten Evolving Skies chase cards our own way — by our graded PSA 10 listings first, then by Japanese print rarity tier — and shows the exact Japanese print each one comes from: S6a Eevee Heroes, S7R Blue Sky Stream and S7D Skyscraping Perfection. Product links go to our own current listings where one exists. For the full Japanese breakdown across all three sets, see our Evolving Skies Japanese card list.
Evolving Skies draws its chase cards from three Japanese sets — S6a Eevee Heroes, S7R Blue Sky Stream and S7D Skyscraping Perfection. Our highest-priced PSA 10 in this lineup is the Rayquaza VMAX HR alt art (S7R 083/067) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) at ¥1,216,624, and the S6a Eevee Heroes Booster Box is currently listed at ¥159,600 (~$1,004) if you want to chase these pulls yourself.
All prices below are our own Tokyo listings, converted at ¥159/USD (September 2026). We do not quote third-party market prices.
How We Ranked These Chase Cards
We ranked this list two ways, in order. First, any card with a graded PSA 10 currently listed on our site, sorted from our highest listed price down to our lowest. Second, once those listings run out, by Japanese print rarity tier — HR alt art above SR alt art, SR alt art above standard SR, and so on. We do not use TCGplayer, eBay or PriceCharting values anywhere in this article, and we do not quote pull rates as fact.
Six of the ten cards below currently have a PSA 10 listed on our site; the remaining four are ranked by rarity tier and are best sourced through Quick Order or as pulls from sealed Japanese product.
The Top 10 Evolving Skies Chase Cards
1. Rayquaza VMAX — EVS 218/203
The English “Secret Rare” alt-art Rayquaza VMAX, illustrated by Anesaki Dynamic, sits at the top of the Evolving Skies secret run at 218/203. Its Japanese counterpart is S7R Blue Sky Stream 083/067 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), an HR alt-art print — a number that sits above Limitless’s catalogued S7R range, so we can’t independently verify the artwork match through that source. Per our own Rayquaza VMAX card guide, both printings share the same illustration.
We currently list a PSA 10 of this card at ¥1,216,624 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — the highest-priced graded copy in this lineup.
2. Umbreon V — EVS 189/203
The English Ultra Rare alt-art Umbreon V matches S6a Eevee Heroes 085/069, an SR alt-art print by the same illustrator, Teeziro. Evolving Skies itself lists the S6a 085 print among its cross-references, so this is one of the more directly confirmed pairs on this list.
We currently list a PSA 10 at ¥108,526 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
3. Jolteon V (Japanese alt art) — not printed in Evolving Skies
This is where the “cards cut from Evolving Skies” story gets concrete. Evolving Skies only carries one Jolteon V, the standard Ultra Rare at 177/203, illustrated by 5ban Graphics — and that print matches S6a 078, not this card. The alt-art Jolteon V shown here, S6a Eevee Heroes 079/069 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), illustrated by nagimiso, has no counterpart in Evolving Skies at all, which is exactly why collectors search for it separately from the English set.
We currently list a PSA 10 at ¥42,676 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
4. Duraludon VMAX — EVS 220/203
The English “Secret Rare” alt-art Duraludon VMAX, illustrated by Saki Hayashiro, is 220/203 in Evolving Skies. Its Japanese equivalent is S7D Skyscraping Perfection 083/067, an HR alt-art print — again a number outside Limitless’s catalogued S7D range, so we’re stating the Japanese print here without asserting the artwork is a confirmed match.
We currently list a PSA 10 at ¥24,200.
5. Zinnia’s Resolve / Zinnia’s Determination — EVS 203/203
The English Ultra Rare supporter Zinnia’s Resolve (203/203, with a rainbow version at 225/203) is illustrated by Taira Akitsu, and the same illustrator’s Japanese print, S7R Blue Sky Stream 079/067 — titled Zinnia’s Determination on our own listings — is a cross-listed print of the same card.
We currently list a PSA 10 at ¥19,910 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
6. Schoolgirl — not printed in Evolving Skies
Evolving Skies’ Ultra Rare supporter slots are limited to Aroma Lady, Copycat, Gordie, Raihan and Zinnia’s Resolve — Schoolgirl isn’t among them. S7D Skyscraping Perfection 078/067 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), illustrated by Hideki Ishikawa, is a Japan-only supporter SR in this set mapping, which makes it one of the harder cards on this list to track down in English collections.
We currently list a PSA 10 at ¥9,900 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
7. Umbreon VMAX “Moonbreon” — EVS 215/203
The English “Secret Rare” alt-art Umbreon VMAX, illustrated by Keiichiro Ito, sits at 215/203 — better known by its nickname, “Moonbreon.” Per our Moonbreon card guide, the Japanese equivalent is S6a Eevee Heroes 095/069 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), an HR alt-art print by the same illustrator — a number above Limitless’s catalogued S6a range, which is why no card image is available from that source here.
This card isn’t currently listed on our site; it’s best sourced via Quick Order.
8. Sylveon V — EVS 184/203
The English Ultra Rare alt-art Sylveon V matches S6a Eevee Heroes 083/069, the SR alt-art print by the same illustrator, Yuu Nishida. This card isn’t currently listed on our site; sourcing is via Quick Order or from a sealed Eevee Heroes Eeveelutions Set.
9. Espeon V — EVS 180/203
The English Ultra Rare alt-art Espeon V matches S6a Eevee Heroes 081/069, illustrated by sowsow on both prints. This card isn’t currently listed on our site; sourcing is via Quick Order.
10. Glaceon V — EVS 175/203
Rounding out the list, the English Ultra Rare alt-art Glaceon V matches S6a Eevee Heroes 077/069, illustrated by Narumi Sato on both prints. This card isn’t currently listed on our site; sourcing is via Quick Order.
