2022 POKEMON SWORD & SHIELD BRILLIANT STARS #TG23 FULL ART/UMBREON VMAX PSA 10

Price: $199.99

Umbreon VMAX from Brilliant Stars, secret rare full art, slabbed PSA 10. This one’s TG23 in the Trainer Gallery subset, all shadowy and intense. The artwork shows Umbreon mid-leap, rings glowing under that starry night sky, with a fierce expression that captures its moonlight vibe perfectly. It’s like the artist nailed the essence of this Dark-type Eeveelution without overdoing it.

On the card text, it’s a Darkness type with 310 HP. Ability is Dark Signal—when you play it from hand to evolve Umbreon V, you can switch an opponent’s Benched Pokémon to the Active spot, messing with their setup. Attacks include Max Darkness for 150 damage, which hits for 30 more if the opponent’s Active is a Pokémon V. Solid for control decks, keeps things unpredictable in play.

Brilliant Stars dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, wrapping up that generation with a bang. This printing stands out because it’s from the Trainer Gallery, blending Pokémon with trainer cameos—here it’s Umbreon paired with a subtle nod to its lore, making it more than just another VMAX. The set introduced Arceus VSTAR and other heavy hitters, but Umbreon’s fan-favorite status from older gens like Neo Discovery gives this version a nostalgic pull. It’s not the first Umbreon VMAX, but the full art treatment in TG makes it pop visually, especially with those holographic borders that catch the light just right.

For the slab, PSA 10 means pristine edges, sharp corners, and that centering is spot-on, probably 9.5 or better across subs. Eye appeal is high with the foil patterns swirling around Umbreon’s form—no print lines or haze to distract. Pop reports show around 1,200 PSA 10s out there last I checked, which is decent for such a chased card, but it keeps collectors hunting for clean copies. Surfaces are flawless, giving it that fresh-from-pack feel under the acrylic.

I’d stash this one in a display case where the light hits those rings, maybe next to other Eevee evos for the full lineup.
