Umbreon ex SIR (#161/131) from Prismatic Evolutions just crossed $1,400 raw in recent eBay completed sales, its highest level since late 2025 and a jaw-dropping recovery from the sub-$1,000 crater that spooked collectors back in January. Three months ago, this card looked like it was in free fall. Now it's knocking on the door of its all-time high.
From $830 to $1,400 in Three Months
The January 2026 correction was ugly. Umbreon ex SIR took a $170 hit in a single day, crashing below $1,000 for the first time since the set's January 2025 launch and bottoming out around $830. Sylveon, Leafeon, and the rest of the Eeveelution SIRs bled 15-30% from their late-2025 peaks. Panic selling hit the forums. "Hold or sell?" threads dominated r/PokeInvesting for weeks.
By March, the freefall stopped. Umbreon stabilized in the $1,000-$1,200 range, and other chase cards found their floors. Now in early April, raw copies are clearing $1,400 on multiple confirmed sales, pushing the card back toward its April 2025 peak of $1,550.
For graded copies, PSA 10 Umbreon ex SIR has traded between $2,900 and $4,000+ depending on timing. One early copy sold for a staggering $5,400 through PSA Vault shortly after release.

| Sylveon ex | #156/131 | SIR | $327 | 1,130 |

| Espeon ex | #155/131 | SIR | $228 | 1,211 |
| Glaceon ex | #150/131 | SIR | $204 | 1,184 |
| Vaporeon ex | #149/131 | SIR | $187 | 1,427 |
| Roaring Moon ex | #162/131 | SIR | $162 | 838 |
| Flareon ex | #146/131 | SIR | $161 | 1,149 |
| Eevee ex | #167/131 | SIR | $156 | 921 |
| Jolteon ex | #153/131 | SIR | $147 | 1,122 |
The complete set tracks at roughly $4,670 across all 452 cards, with these top 10 accounting for more than half the total value. Umbreon alone represents about 30% of the set's worth, a concentration that makes Prismatic Evolutions one of the most top-heavy modern Pokemon sets.
What's Fueling the Rebound
Several forces are pushing Umbreon and the broader Prismatic market up from their winter lows.
Supply absorption. The Costco restocks and big-box waves that flooded shelves in late 2025 have been consumed. Sealed product is climbing again too, with Pokemon Center ETBs around $546 and Booster Bundle Display Boxes north of $1,180 on the secondary market.
Pull rate reality. Umbreon ex SIR hits at roughly 1 in 1,441 packs. Even with Pokemon's extended print runs, new raw copies aren't entering the market fast enough to keep prices suppressed. The set's 32 total SIRs mean the average pull rate for any specific card stays brutal.
The grading bottleneck. PSA 10 gem rates on Prismatic Umbreon sit around 40%, compared to roughly 80% for the Moonbreon (Umbreon VMAX Alt Art) from Evolving Skies. Worse QC on Prismatic means fewer gems hitting the market, which props up both graded and raw prices.
The Evolving Skies blueprint. Collectors keep comparing Prismatic's Umbreon to the Moonbreon, which proved that Eeveelution chase cards can hold four-figure values long-term even with PSA populations north of 20,000. Whether Prismatic follows the same curve is the billion-dollar question, but the comparison keeps buyer confidence high.
What Collectors Should Do Right Now
If you're sitting on a raw Umbreon ex SIR and it looks clean, get it graded. The PSA 10 premium is substantial enough to justify the $150 express turnaround cost. If the card has visible silvering or border issues (common with this set's QC), sell it raw while the momentum is strong.
For buyers, the mid-tier Eeveelution SIRs look like the smarter play at these prices. Glaceon at $204, Flareon at $161, and Jolteon at $147 all carry the same Eeveelution collector appeal at a fraction of Umbreon's price tag. History shows these secondary chase cards tend to ride the same long-term wave as the flagship, just at lower absolute values.
And if you're considering ripping packs to find one? At roughly $4.50 per pack and 1 in 1,441 odds, you're looking at an expected $6,480 in packs to pull a single Umbreon ex SIR. Buy the single.
Umbreon ex SIR is the defining chase card of the Scarlet & Violet era, and the recovery from January's crash proves this card has real collector demand behind it, not just speculation. At $1,400, it's not a bargain, but it's not peak FOMO pricing either. We think it's headed higher over the next 12-18 months.
That said, this isn't the next Moonbreon trajectory. The market is different now: higher print runs, faster price discovery, and more competition from new special sets. If you're buying for the art and the long-term collection, go for it. If you're purely speculating, the mid-tier Eeveelution SIRs in the $150-$250 range offer better risk-adjusted upside with less downside exposure.
“Even if the lowest point hits $500, that's still way higher than the moonbreon's lowest. This card hitting a low shouldn't scare people interested in grabbing it for long term growth.”
— r/PokeInvesting“I'm willing to bet in 3 years the prismatic Umbreon will be a 3k to 4k card in a 10.”
— r/PokeInvesting“Actual collectors aren't buying this tho. It's FOMO investors buying it from each other in a circle jerk, raising the price each time because they think they can flip it for profit.”
— r/PokeInvesting“I don't think this sub realizes just how much Prismatic is coming. There are already entire PALLETS of Prismatic waiting to be restocked at Costco right now.”
— r/PokeInvesting“The main difference is the gem rate. Moonbreon is 80% chance at a 10 while the new Umbreon is 40% due to QC.”
— r/PokeInvesting“Nah it's going to be the next moonbreon. It will long term remain a $1,000+ card. Prismatic is such a hard set to get, and the pull rates are atrocious.”
— r/PokeInvestingPrismatic Evolutions remains the most watched Pokemon set on the secondary market 15 months after release, and Umbreon's comeback is the headline. Whether it retests $1,550 or pulls back again, this card isn't leaving the conversation anytime soon. Track live Prismatic Evolutions prices on PullRate's Prismatic Evolutions page.
