Umbreon VMAX, from Evolving Skies, secret rare, slabbed BGS 9.5. This one’s the alternate art version at #215/203, pulling off that moody, shadowy vibe collectors dig. The artwork shows Umbreon in a fierce lunge, rings glowing under a starry night sky, with those piercing red eyes staring right through you. It’s got that sleek, mysterious edge that makes it pop on any shelf.

On the card text side, it’s a Darkness type with 310 HP. Ability is Dark Signal, letting you switch your opponent’s active Pokémon with one from their bench when you evolve into this beast. Attacks include Max Darkness for 160 damage, which hits harder if your opponent’s active has an Ability. Simple but brutal setup for control decks.

Evolving Skies dropped in 2021, part of the Sword & Shield series, and this printing stands out because it’s one of the Eeveelution VMAX alt arts that turned heads. The set focused on sky-high evolutions and dragon themes, but these secret rares with their full-art flair became chase pieces for fans of the Eevee line. Umbreon’s always been a fan favorite since Gold and Silver days, and this VMAX captures that nocturnal predator feel without overdoing it.

For the slab, BGS 9.5 means it’s near-mint territory—subgrades likely strong across the board, with centering that lines up just right and edges that look factory fresh. Eye appeal is high here; the dark borders frame the art perfectly, no whitening or print lines messing it up. Pop reports put BGS 9.5s for this card around a couple hundred last I checked, but it’s not flooding the scene like some commons.

I’d stash this in a display case with some low-key LED lights to make those glowing rings really stand out, like it’s lurking in the shadows.
