CGC 10 PRISTINE Umbreon VMAX 101/184 Japanese VMAX Climax GOLD LABEL Pokemon TCG
Price: $244.99
Umbreon VMAX from the Japanese VMAX Climax set, card number 101 out of 184, in a CGC 10 slab. This one’s a Secret Rare with that full-art flair.
The artwork shows Umbreon VMAX mid-leap, rings glowing against a starry night backdrop. That shadowy vibe really captures the Eeveelution’s mysterious side.
It’s a Darkness-type Pokémon VMAX with 310 HP. Ability is Dark Signal, letting you switch your opponent’s Active Pokémon with one of their Benched ones when you evolve into this. Attacks include Max Darkness for 160 damage, and it evolves from Umbreon V. Solid for decks that mess with your opponent’s setup.
VMAX Climax dropped in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era in Japan. What makes this printing stand out is the high rarity chase—it’s from a set packed with character rares and secret arts, blending nostalgia with modern mechanics. Umbreon has always been a fan favorite since Gold and Silver games, and this VMAX version amps up the competitive edge while nodding to its dark, nocturnal roots. The Japanese version often has crisper print quality compared to English counterparts, which collectors notice in the details like foil patterns.
In this CGC 10, you’re looking at pristine centering—probably dead-on 10s across the board for corners, edges, and surface. Eye appeal is strong with that gold star border popping against the black fur illustration. No whitening or print lines to distract. As for pop, widely reported estimates put CGC 10s for this card in the low dozens, given how tough Japanese full arts are to grade perfect. It’s one of those slabs where the label just screams quality without any subgrade drama.
I’d keep this one on a shelf where the light hits those glowing rings just right, maybe next to other Eevee evos for the full family feel.
