Frequently Asked Questions
01. Why is Umbreon VMAX alternate art the most valuable modern card?
The Umbreon VMAX alternate art combines Umbreon's massive popularity, stunning moonlit rooftop artwork by artist KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA, extreme rarity (1-in-500+ packs), and Evolving Skies' overall desirability to create the pinnacle of modern Pokemon collecting.
02. Which Eeveelutions have alternate art cards?
All eight Eeveelutions have alternate art V cards, and most have alternate art VMAX versions too: Umbreon, Sylveon, Glaceon, Espeon, Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Leafeon. This makes Evolving Skies the ultimate Eevee collector set.
03. How does Rayquaza VMAX compare to Umbreon VMAX?
The Rayquaza VMAX alternate art (#218) is the second most valuable card in the set at $150-300+. While Umbreon leads in value, Rayquaza's artwork showing it soaring through a galaxy is equally acclaimed among collectors.
04. Is Evolving Skies still worth buying sealed?
Evolving Skies booster boxes are among the most expensive SWSH sealed products at $250-400+. The sheer number of chase cards means good expected value per box, and sealed prices have trended upward as the set goes further out of print.
