ThePokemon TCGis packed with valuable evolved forms of Pokemon, including someexpensive Eeveelution cards.However, Eevee also deserves some time in the spotlight without living in the shadow of its evolved forms. While Eevee is a fantastic Pokemon, there’s no denying that the values ofEeveelutions, like Umbreon,typically stand head and shoulders above their predecessor. Eevee’s best cards might just buck that trend.
Even though we’ve excluded any Eeveelution appearances, Eevee still gets some help from its fellow Normal-type Pokemon, with an iconic buddy appearing on its cards. Eevee’s popularity transcends time, as some of the best Eevee cards hail from various sets and other sources.
Cards are ordered according to theirTCGPlayerMarket Price,which you might pay on average for a copy of the cards below.
Given the age and rarity of some cards,onlythose with anestablished market price on TCGplayerare included.
However,sale prices differ depending on the card’s condition,so this market price is just a rough idea of the card’s value.
5Eevee No. 133: JP Premium File 2 (Promo) – $42.99
An Unusual Promo Printing
The firstEevee stands out as unique, given its Japanese-only printing and the fascinating story behind it. Originally, this EeveeNo. 133was includedin the Neo Discovery setbut flaunted entirely different artwork by another artist.
However, the card was later reprinted in Japanese as an unnumbered promo card with art by Naoyo Kimura and was one of nine cards in Japan’s Premium File 2, which wastied to the release of the Spell of the Unown: Entei in 2000.This card’s rarity contributes to the solid price, with near-mint(NM)copies consistently commanding $40 or more.
4Eevee & Snorlax GX: Team Up (Full Art) – $44.47
Friends Joining Forces
Eevee and Snorlax stand out as the two best Normal-type Pokemon from Kanto, and possibly two of the most iconic representatives of their typing. While this card can’t claim a place among theupper echelon of expensive cards in Team Up,it stands out as one of the most adorable combinations of the set.
Team Up is a modern set, so you shouldn’t have issues finding this card in lightly played(LP)condition at minimum, with copies typically selling for around $20, whileNM copies command a hefty premium, fetching the market pricein most cases, though some copies haven’t quite lived up to expectations.
3Eevee: Twilight Masquerade (Illustration Rare) – $53.68
An Eevee Party
Twilight Masquerade was a bit of a sleeper release, with a collection of valuable cardsthat included this gorgeous Eevee scene featuring a handful of the adorable Normal-type Pokemon relaxing inside on a sunny summer day.
While cards with multiple Pokemon typically have a wider appeal due to variety, this card goes all-in on Eevee and its gamble pays off with a solid market price to catapult it into the conversation for Eevee’s best card. This card started slowly at about $25 on release but began to creep up higher and higher, eventually skyrocketing overnight toa high of around $60 before settling at its current price.
2Eevee & Snorlax GX: Team Up (Secret Rare) – $120.09
Return Of A Perfectly Normal Pair
Team Up is a legendary set with excellent pairs of Pokemon, so needless to say, multiple versions of each pair vary heavily in price based primarily on rarity and visual appeal, like this Eevee & Snorlax tandem. With their second appearance, the Rainbow Secret Rare distinctionssend their price into the triple digits, easily eclipsing the full art’s price.
After hovering around $140 for a brief time, this card has unfortunately seen a dip in 2024, dropping closer to the $100 mark than it has in a long time. However, even with its massive slide in value, Eevee & Snorlax rebounded to their current market price,illustrating the market’s continued interest in anything Eevee-related.
1Eevee: Black and White Promos (Promo) – $239.98
The Two Mascots Tower Above
This Eevee B&W promo stands tall among its peers with a market price that essentially doubles that of the runners-up. However, this card’s impressive value also makes it one ofthe most expensive cards in the entire Black & White era,eclipsing dozens of other impressive competitors.
While you could originally find this promo in Legendary Treasures three-pack blisters, their conditions were usually imperfect,causing LP cards to set the market price,with no recent NM sales to point to. However, if you’re looking for a better price, you’re able to find moderately played(MP)copies for closer to $180, which is a nice discount from the LP version.
Eevee’s popularity continues to grow, and there are likely to be new Eevee promos to challenge for the top spot one day, but for now, theEevee BW97 promo featuring Pikachu will reign as the best Eevee card ever.
