Umbreon VMAX 095/203 from Evolving Skies, the rainbow rare version, sitting in a CGC 10 Pristine slab. This one’s got that sleek, shadowy vibe that fans of the Eeveelutions dig. The artwork shows Umbreon in full VMAX form, lurking in a starry night with those red eyes piercing through, and the rainbow holo foil adds a subtle shimmer without overwhelming the dark theme. It’s one of those illustrations where the pose just captures the essence of a nocturnal predator ready to strike.
On the card text side, it’s a Darkness type with 310 HP. The Ability is Dark Signal, which lets you switch your opponent’s Active Pokémon with one of their Benched ones when you evolve into this bad boy—handy for disrupting setups. Then there’s the attack, Max Darkness, dealing 150 damage for three Darkness Energy, and it hits even if the target has effects that prevent damage. Solid stats for competitive play back in the day, though it’s more of a collector’s piece now.
Evolving Skies dropped in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield series, right when the meta was all about VMAX cards and Eevee evolutions were getting major love. This printing stands out because it’s the rainbow rare alternate art, pulling from the Japanese High Class Shiny Star V set, and Umbreon has always been a fan favorite since Gold and Silver games. The set itself was packed with chase cards like this, making it a high point for modern Pokémon TCG before the Scarlet & Violet shift.
Slab-wise, CGC 10 Pristine means perfect across the board—centering spot-on at 10, edges flawless, corners sharp as ever, and surface without a single ding. Eye appeal is strong with that holo pattern popping under light, no whitening or print lines to nitpick. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, CGC 10s for this card are pretty scarce, with estimates around 40 or so graded at that level, though PSA dominates the higher pops for this one.
I’d keep this one in a display case where the light catches the rainbow just right, maybe next to the other Eevee VMAXes for that full set feel.
