Espeon & Deoxys Gx 001/031 Tag Team Starter Set Pokemon Japanese PSA 10
Price: $99.99
Espeon & Deoxys-GX, from the Tag Team GX Starter Set, ultra rare, slapped in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s the Japanese printing, card number 001/031, pulling double duty with that psychic powerhouse vibe.
The artwork catches you off guard – Espeon perched all sleek and focused, while Deoxys floats in attack mode, tentacles glowing like they’re about to rewrite reality. It’s got that dynamic tag team energy, with cosmic swirls tying them together. Simple but effective, especially on a full art background that pops under lights.
Card text keeps it straightforward: Psychic type, 260 HP. Ability is Psychic Club, boosting damage if you’ve got other Psychic Pokémon on the bench. Attacks include Cross Division-GX, which can hit multiple foes for big numbers if you play it right – think dividing up 10 damage counters however you want, plus extras with GX energy. Solid for competitive decks back in the day, mixing control with raw power.
This set dropped in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon era in Japan, kicking off the Tag Team GX mechanic before it hit English shores. What stands out here is the starter set exclusivity – not your typical booster pack pull, so it’s got that niche appeal for collectors who dig the origins of tag teams. Japanese cards often have cleaner prints too, with that crisp holo shine that doesn’t overwhelm the art.
In the slab, centering is usually spot-on for these, eye appeal high thanks to the vibrant colors and lack of print lines. Edges and corners hold up well in a 10, no whitening to spoil the view. Pop reports I’ve seen put PSA 10s in the low hundreds, but that’s just from memory – these don’t flood the market like main set cards.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light hits the holo just right, maybe next to other eeveelutions for that family reunion feel.
