Espeon 043/040: Premium Deck Set Card Fact Sheet

Updated November 11, 2026

Espeon 043/040 is an Espeon ex card, a Stage 1 Pokémon with HP 260, printed in the Japanese “30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon”. The set uses regulation mark MF and was released on September 16, 2026.

What are the key facts of Espeon 043/040?

Espeon 043/040 is an Espeon ex from a Japanese-edition deck product, and the table below gives its key facts from the official card page and the official product page.

Everything in this article about the card comes from the official Pokémon Card Game card database at pokemon-card.com, and everything about the product comes from the official 30th Celebration product page. The card and the product are both Japanese edition, so the text printed on the card is Japanese.

Which product contains Espeon 043/040?

Espeon 043/040 belongs to the Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon, a product with two 60-card decks, and the official card page links to that product.

The product page lists one Espeon ex deck and one Umbreon ex deck, plus two damage counter and marker sets, two Pokémon coins, one playmat, one double deck case in tin form, one beginner’s guide and one players’ guide. The page also notes that, because these are constructed decks, the same card appears several times inside, and that some cards from earlier series are reprinted.

The official card pages for both Espeon ex 043/040 and Espeon ex 014/040 show a link to the “30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon” product. That is how the database ties each of these card numbers to the product. The product itself is named in Japanese as 30th CELEBRATION プレミアムデッキセット エーフィ・ブラッキー, and its English name is the one used throughout this article.

The product sits under the Pokémon Card Game MEGA series banner on the official page, and the page address ends in “mf”, matching the regulation mark MF printed for the card.

What are the card stats of Espeon 043/040?

Espeon 043/040 is a Stage 1 Pokémon ex with HP 260 that evolves from Espeon (エーフィ on the official page), and it has one attack, Sunshine Beat 30×.

The attack text on the official page reads 自分の場のポケモンの数×30ダメージ, which means the number of Pokémon on your own field multiplied by 30 damage. The card page lists one attack for Espeon ex 043/040.

The card page also prints the Pokémon ex special rule: when a Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards. The page lists Weakness as ×2 and Resistance as −30.

One detail on the number: the printed card number is 043, and the figure after the slash is 040. The official database shows the number exactly as 043 / 040, and that is the form used here.

How much damage does Sunshine Beat 30× deal?

Sunshine Beat 30× deals 30 damage for each Pokémon on your own side of the field, so the damage grows in steps of 30.

The table is plain multiplication of the official attack text. The card page does not print any extra effect on this attack beyond that one line, and the damage is 30 times the count of your own Pokémon in play.

The Espeon ex deck in the official product list holds 21 Pokémon cards across 15 lines, so the deck has many Pokémon cards to put on the field. For the deck list itself, see the deck section below.

How is Espeon 043/040 different from Espeon ex 014/040?

Espeon 043/040 and Espeon ex 014/040 share the name, the HP of 260 and the attack name, but they are separate card numbers with different illustrators.

The product page lists the Espeon ex deck as holding one Espeon ex and one Espeon ex in full-illustration form. The official card page for 043/040 does not say which of those two product entries it corresponds to, so the printed card in hand is the reference for its artwork style. For our collector view of this number, see Espeon ex Full Art 043/040: Pokemon 30th Celebration Premium Deck Set.

How should I read the number 043/040 and the code MF?

Read 043/040 as the card number exactly as the official database prints it, and read MF as the regulation mark and set code shown on the same card page.

The official page for Espeon ex shows the number as 043 / 040 and the mark as MF. The official product page for the Premium Deck Set uses the address ending “mf”, and the card page links back to that product. The card number 014 / 040 on the second Espeon ex page uses the same 040 figure after the slash and the same MF mark.

The SV8a Espeon ex cards show a different pattern: 211 / 187 and 063 / 187, with the set named as the High Class Pack “Terastal Fest ex”. The XY9-B Espeon EX cards show 084 / 080 and 035 / 080.

What else is in the Espeon ex deck that includes Espeon 043/040?

The Espeon ex deck holds 60 cards: 21 Pokémon, 21 Trainers and 18 Energy, according to the official product page.

Those 15 lines add up to the 21 Pokémon the page states. The page states 21 Trainers but does not list them by name.

The three Energy types add up to the 18 Energy cards the page gives, and 21 + 21 + 18 makes the 60 cards of the deck. Our deck-by-deck breakdown is in Pokemon 30th Celebration Premium Deck Set: Espeon and Umbreon Decklists and Prices.

What is the Umbreon ex deck in the same set?

The Umbreon ex deck is the second 60-card deck in the Premium Deck Set, and it has the same card-type structure as the Espeon ex deck.

The product page lists Umbreon ex 1 and Umbreon ex (full illustration) 1, with 21 Pokémon, 21 Trainers and 18 Energy. Each deck therefore has 60 cards, and the two decks together make 120 cards, before counting the playmat, coins, markers, deck case and guides.

What is inside the Premium Deck Set besides the cards?

Besides the two decks, the Premium Deck Set includes play accessories and two printed guides.

The launch price on the official page is 6,200 yen including tax, and the release date is Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The page has two notes worth keeping in mind. First, the same card appears more than once in a deck because these are constructed decks. Second, some cards from earlier series are reprinted in this product.

How do other Espeon ex prints compare with Espeon 043/040?

Earlier Espeon ex and Espeon EX cards exist in other sets, and their official pages show different numbers, rarities and illustrators from 043/040.

The SV8a Espeon ex SAR (211/187, illustrated by sui) has HP 270, is a Stage 1 Pokémon, and has the attacks Psychic Out 160 and Amazete (アマゼツ). Espeon ex 043/040 has HP 260 and one attack, Sunshine Beat 30×, so the two cards differ in both HP and attacks.

The SV8a pack also holds a second Espeon ex, 063/187, rated RR and illustrated by 5ban Graphics. The same illustrator credit appears on Espeon ex 014/040 in the deck set. The XY9-B cards are the older Espeon EX type, written with capital letters on the official pages.

For graded copies of the SV8a and XY9-B prints, read Espeon ex PSA 10 Japanese Pokemon Card: SV8a SAR and XY9-B EX Prints. For the SAR print and its artist, see sui Pokemon Cards: Acerola SAR, Espeon ex SAR Guide.

What should I check when comparing Japanese Espeon ex cards?

Check five things on the official card page: the full number, the set name, the illustrator, the HP and the attack names.

Each of these fields comes straight from the official database pages, so a card in hand can be matched to its page by number and illustrator. The number alone separates 043/040 from 014/040, and the set name separates both from the SV8a and XY9-B cards.
