Espeon full art cards include the 2025 Espeon ex SAR from Terastal Fest ex, the Eevee Heroes Espeon V SR prints and the Tag All Stars Espeon & Deoxys-GX SR and HR prints. We ship Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo.
Espeon has never carried the meme-fueled hype of Umbreon or the plush-toy cuteness of Sylveon, but among collectors who actually track print runs, it’s one of the most consistently well-designed Eeveelutions in the catalog: a 2025 alternate-art chase card from Terastal Fest ex, a 2021 Special Full Art secret rare from Eevee Heroes, a Tag Team GX partner card from 2019, and a run of promos stretching back to the Gold Star era of 2005.
Espeon’s full-art prints include the 2019 Tag Team GX Special Full Art, the 2021 Eevee Heroes Special Full Art V and the 2025 Espeon ex SAR (SV8a 211/187). The PSA 10 slabs of the Espeon V SA and the Tag Team GX SA are offered as back orders on our store.
- Added a full-art section with the set mark, number and rarity of each Espeon print.
- Store status for the PSA 10 listings was refreshed on October 22, 2026.

Espeon Full Art Cards: Japanese SR / SAR / HR 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.
| Kaart | Set mark · number | Rarity | Our listing |

| Espeon ex | SV8a 211/187 | SAR | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥25,900 (~$168) |
| Espeon V (Full Art) | S6a 080/069 | SR | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥12,332 (~$80) |
| Espeon V (Special Full Art) | S6a 081/069 | SR | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥42,819 (~$278) |

Beyond the ex SAR and V SA, the lineup adds a Tag Team secret rare, a merchandise-exclusive VMAX, a reverse-holo mirror parallel, and three older or harder-to-source prints that trace Espeon’s card history back two decades.
1. Espeon ex SAR (211/187) — The 2025 Alternate-Art Chase Card
The Espeon ex Special Art Rare is card 211/187 from Terastal Fest ex (SV8a), the same 2025 Japanese subset that produced the English Prismatic Evolutions expansion. The alternate-art treatment corresponds to what Bulbapedia’s English-set page calls the “Special Illustration Rare” tier — in Prismatic Evolutions it’s card 155/131. There’s also a regular (non-alt-art) Espeon ex in the same set at 063/187, rarity RR, which corresponds to the English Double Rare print at 034/131.
As of August 6, 2026, SNKRDUNK showed raw SAR cards at asks around ¥7,300, and graded PSA 10 slabs across five separate asks: ¥27,999, ¥32,000, ¥33,333, ¥35,000, and ¥38,000. The Espeon ex SAR is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥25,900 (~$168) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
If you’re building out a full Eeveelution alt-art collection, our PSA10 Eeveelutions buying guide covers how the graded market for this generation of Special Art Rares tends to move together across all eight evolutions. The Espeon ex also has its own PSA 10 Japanese Pokemon card guide.
2. Espeon V SA (081/069) — Eevee Heroes Secret Rare
Eevee Heroes (S6a), the 2021 Japanese set that paired with English Evolving Skies, printed Espeon V three separate times: a regular V at 035/069 (RR), a Full Art V at 080/069 (SR), and the Special Full Art at 081/069 (SR) — the card most collectors mean when they say “Espeon V SA.” The English equivalent is Evolving Skies 180/203, which Bulbapedia identifies as the Special Full Art print in that set.
As of August 6, 2026, SNKRDUNK raw asks for the V SA ran ¥19,000 to ¥25,800, and PSA 10 asks were ¥77,000, ¥100,000, and ¥100,000. The Espeon V SA is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥42,819 (~$278).
For comparison against the rest of the Eeveelution line, see our guides on the top Umbreon cards, including the Moonbreon alt art, and our Sylveon cards guide — both evolutions received the same three-tier V treatment in the same generation of sets.
3. Espeon & Deoxys-GX SR SA (177/173) — The Tag Team Chase
Before ex and V, Espeon’s biggest chase card was a Tag Team GX. Espeon & Deoxys-GX appeared in three Japanese prints in SM12a, “Tag All Stars,” released October 4, 2019: a Full Art at 176/173 (SR), a Special Full Art at 177/173 (SR, illustrated by Hasuno), and a Rainbow Rare at 212/173 (HR). Card 177/173 is the print most collectors want — it’s the “SR SA” version, and its artwork was later reprinted in English as SM Black Star Promo SM240 in March 2020. The base English counterpart is Unified Minds 72/236, an Ultra Rare.
2019 Tag Team GX Special Full Arts are five-plus years old now, the print run is fixed, and Espeon & Deoxys-GX doesn’t get reprinted the way single-Pokemon V and ex cards sometimes do. The Espeon & Deoxys-GX SR SA is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥98,459 (~$639). If you collect Tag Team GX cards specifically rather than single-Pokemon alt arts, this is the Espeon entry for that shelf. The card has its own Espeon & Deoxys GX SA guide.
4. Espeon VMAX (189/S-P) — The Merchandise Promo
Espeon VMAX, 189/S-P, is a Japanese promotional card distributed through the “Eevee Heroes Eeveelution Set,” a Sword & Shield-era merchandise product tied to the same Eevee Heroes (S6a) expansion that produced the V SA above. The exact release date and distribution mechanics for that merchandise set aren’t fully documented, but the card and its source product are confirmed.
Because it never appeared in a standard booster set, VMAX 189/S-P doesn’t have a regular pull-rate market the way set cards do — pricing runs on promo scarcity instead. The Espeon VMAX is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥73,187 (~$475). If you’re specifically after Eeveelution VMAX promos rather than mainline set cards, this is the one to know; see also our Espeon VMAX value guide.
5. Espeon Master Ball Mirror (062/187) — The Budget Pull
Terastal Fest ex (SV8a) also carries a regular, non-ex Espeon at 062/187 — a reprint of the Obsidian Flames artwork (Japanese: “Ruler of the Black Flame,” SV-4L 046/108), originally illustrated by Cona Nitanda and reprinted here by Kariya. The English equivalent, Prismatic Evolutions 033/131, lists at Rare rarity, an upgrade from the original Uncommon.
Since the “151” (SV2a) expansion, Scarlet & Violet-era Japanese sets have printed reverse-holo “Mirror” parallels of regular-print cards in two patterns: a common Poké Ball pattern and a much scarcer Master Ball pattern. The Master Ball mirror of this exact card, 062/187, is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥16,202 (~$105).
6. Espeon-GX SSR (SV60/SV94) — Shiny Vault Rarity
Espeon-GX first appeared in the base Sun & Moon era — Japanese Collection Sun (SM7a) 024/060, RR; English Sun & Moon 61/149. The card most collectors chase, though, is the later Shiny Vault reprint: SM8b, “GX Ultra Shiny” (released November 2, 2018), which put Espeon-GX in its Shiny Vault subset at card SV60/SV94, rarity “Rare Shiny GX” — the Shiny Vault equivalent of an SSR. The English counterpart set is Hidden Fates, released August 23, 2019, one of the most collected Shiny Vault sets ever printed.
If you’re sourcing this one, our Quick Order page is the fastest way to request it alongside other Japanese singles.
7. Espeon ☆ — The Gold Star Heritage Card
Long before Special Art Rares and Special Full Arts, the “Gold Star” era of the mid-2000s produced its own alt-art tier, denoted with a ☆ symbol after the card name. Espeon ☆ appeared in English POP Series 5 as card 16/17, “Rare Holo ☆,” in the 2005–2006 window, with card text built around the Poké-POWER “Purple Ray.” The Japanese equivalent is a PLAY Promotional card, 025/PLAY.
Bulbapedia’s own naming convention for this card is “Espeon ☆” — “Gold Star” is the collector nickname applied across the whole ☆-suffix rarity tier from the EX era, not a printed rarity name. For collectors building a complete Espeon timeline, this is the card that establishes where the alt-art lineage started, two decades before Terastal Fest ex.
8. Yu Nagaba Espeon (066/SV-P) — The Artist Collaboration
The most recent notable Espeon promo is card 066/SV-P, illustrated by Japanese artist Yu Nagaba as part of the “YU NAGABA × Pokémon Card Game” collaboration campaign. Distribution followed the same pattern as the rest of that collaboration: a random promo included with qualifying retail purchases, plus four random promos bundled with pre-orders of the collaboration’s special box. The exact release date isn’t confirmed in our sourcing, so we’re not stating one here.
Nagaba’s flat, minimalist illustration style has built a dedicated following well outside the Pokemon TCG community, and the Espeon print sits alongside his other Eeveelution promos — including the Flareon version covered in our full Yu Nagaba Pokemon card guide, which breaks down the whole collaboration set and how the promos are typically sourced.
Pokemon’s 30th anniversary “Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon” was announced for release on September 16, 2026 in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It adds two more Espeon ex prints (014/040 regular and 043/040 Full Illustration with 30th-anniversary stamp) to the catalog; see our Espeon ex full art guide for that set.
