Umbreon Ex #217 Pokemon Japanese Terastal Festival – CGC 10 – Authenticity Guar.
Price: $555.00
Umbreon ex from EX Unseen Forces, ultra rare, sitting pretty in a CGC 10 slab. This one’s the Japanese version, sometimes labeled under unique promos or events like Terastal Festival tie-ins, but it’s that classic dark eeveelution vibe collectors hunt.
The artwork shows Umbreon lurking in shadows, rings glowing with an eerie intensity—that pose just pulls you in, all mysterious and ready to strike.
Key stats: Dark type, 100 HP. Ability is Dark Ring, letting you search for Dark Pokémon when it evolves. Attacks include Feint Attack for 30 damage to any foe without resistance applying, and Black Cry for 70 that flips coins to confuse. Solid for those old-school ex decks where you build around evasion and disruption.
Set dropped in 2005, part of the EX series wave that cranked up the power with ex mechanics—evolving basics into heavy hitters. This printing stands out because Unseen Forces focused on Gold Star and ex variants of fan-favorite ‘mons, and Umbreon got that spotlight as a sleek counter to psychic heavies. Japanese editions often have sharper print quality, making them a subtle flex in mixed collections.
In the slab, CGC 10 means flawless across the board—centering dead on, edges crisp, no whitening, surface like glass. Eye appeal is top-tier with those deep blacks and gold accents popping under light. Pop reports are tricky for CGC on this card; from what I’ve seen in dealer circles, perfect 10s are scarce compared to PSA, maybe under 50 known, but that’s rough estimates since CGC grading surged later for TCG.
I’d stash this one in a shadowbox setup, letting it brood next to other eevees for that full evolution lineup feel.
