Pokemon Flareon VMAX SWSH180 Sword & Shield Promo Card Near Mint
Price: $20.00
Flareon VMAX SWSH180 from the Sword & Shield Promo set, ultra rare, in near mint raw condition. This one’s got that classic Eeveelution vibe, with the artwork showing Flareon all bulked up in VMAX form, flames roaring out like it’s ready to melt the competition. The holo pattern spreads across the card, catching light in a way that makes the fire effects pop without overwhelming the details.
On the text side, it’s a Fire-type with 320 HP, which is solid for tanking hits. No Ability here, but the attack is Max Detonate for 270 damage—discard the top three cards of your opponent’s deck if they’ve got a Pokémon V in play. Weakness to Water, retreat cost of two, and it’s got that VMAX rule where it takes three Prize cards when KO’d. Simple but punchy for Fire decks that want to burn through resources.
This promo dropped in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos, often bundled in those VMAX Premium Collections or special tins. Raw copies from this era sometimes show up with minor centering quirks, like the borders leaning a tad off on the holo foil, or the card stock feeling a bit thicker than base set pulls. Nothing major, but it’s promo printing, so you might spot subtle differences in the ink saturation compared to regular expansions.
In terms of raw condition, this one’s near mint all around—corners are sharp with no visible dings, edges clean without whitening or chipping, surface smooth and free of scratches or print lines. The holo flash is bright and even, no clouding or foil scratches that’d dull it down. Centering looks about 60/40 on the sides, pretty standard for these promos, and the back is pristine with that classic Poké Ball pattern intact.
Kinda funny how Flareon always ends up being the underdog Eevee, but this VMAX version gives it some real firepower to play with.
