The Eeveelution Index: which Eeveelution is worth the most?
Prices as of 2026-11-02, Cardmarket price guide (EUR). Today's prices will differ.
Eight evolutions, one Eevee, and one of the most-collected families in Pokémon. Which Eeveelution’s cards trade highest? We took the median trend price of every English printing of all eight. In this snapshot, Umbreon leads by a wide margin.
The Eeveelution Index
Median Cardmarket EUR trend price across every priced English printing. Median, not average, so one vintage Gold Star can't inflate it.
The Umbreon premium
How many times more a typical Umbreon costs than a typical…
At the median, the typical Umbreon trades at about 5.1× the typical Eeveelution. The eight did not all exist for the same number of years: Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon are later Pokémon (No. 470, 471 and 700 in the official Pokédex), so their printings come from different eras than Umbreon’s. We measured the gap, not its cause.
The priciest printing of each
| Eeveelution | Priciest printing | Trend | 30-day avg | ≥ €100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Umbreon | Umbreon ★ (POP Series 5) | €6,135 | €3,515 | 44% |
| Espeon | Espeon ★ (POP Series 5) | €6,309 | €3,089 | 34% |
| Sylveon | Sylveon ex (Prismatic Evolutions) | €264 | €293 | 18% |
| Flareon | Flareon ★ (Power Keepers) | €1,637 | €1,128 | 22% |
| Vaporeon | Vaporeon ★ (Power Keepers) | €1,508 | €1,195 | 22% |
| Jolteon | Jolteon ★ (Power Keepers) | €1,423 | €1,094 | 18% |
| Glaceon | Glaceon LV.X (Majestic Dawn) | €667 | €371 | 16% |
| Leafeon | Leafeon VMAX (Evolving Skies) | €355 | €289 | 18% |
Note: in this data Espeon owns the single priciest Eeveelution card (its €6,309 Gold Star, just above Umbreon's €6,135), yet Umbreon wins on the typical card. Gold Star trend prices rest on few sales and mix conditions, and we did not price graded copies. Treat these ceilings as rough.
Method & sources
- We took every English printing of each Eeveelution by card name and joined it to Cardmarket's published product and price guide files on product id.
- Cardmarket's files name no set and no rarity, so each card was matched by name, moves and collector-number order inside its Cardmarket expansion, using the open pokemon-tcg-data catalogue for card details. We did not scrape any page.
- Per Eeveelution we took the median trend price across priced printings, robust to one expensive chase card.
- We checked each trend against its 30-day average and its low. 4 trends over 5× from the 30-day average were left out as bad values. 112 trends over 8× their low stay in, because the low is often one cheap listing. 2 printings could not be matched to a product and have no price here.
- Cardmarket price guide (EUR trend), from Cardmarket's published download files. Valued 2026-11-02. Reference estimates, not sold or graded records; trend prices move. Vintage Gold Star prices are thin and shown as indicative only.
What this data can’t tell you
- Why Umbreon leads. Era, number of chase printings, print runs and demand all differ, and we did not separate them.
- A like-for-like race. The eight did not all exist in the same eras, so their sets of printings are not comparable one to one.
- Name matching. Tag-team and multi-Pokémon cards count under each name they carry, which can move a small group’s median.
- Graded and Japanese markets. These are the English-set products from one price source, and trends mix conditions.
- The future. This is one snapshot (2026-11-02).

FAQ
Which Eeveelution is worth the most?
By typical card in this data, Umbreon, by a wide margin. Across all 46 Umbreon printings (45 with a usable price), the median Cardmarket EUR trend price is €75, about 2.6× the next Eeveelution (Espeon, €29) and 9.4× the cheapest (Leafeon, €7.95). We use the median, not the average, so one vintage chase card can't crown a Pokémon, and 44% of Umbreon printings still trend at €100 or more.
Why is Umbreon so much more valuable?
We measured the gap, not the reason. Its expensive cards span eras, from the POP Series 5 Gold Star (the single priciest Umbreon printing in this data) to modern chase cards such as the Evolving Skies Umbreon VMAX. The eight Eeveelutions are not on equal footing, either: Glaceon, Leafeon and Sylveon arrived later, so they have no vintage cards to pull their numbers up or down. Demand, print runs and era all play a part, and we did not separate them.
But doesn't Espeon have the single most expensive card?
In this data, yes: Espeon's POP Series 5 Gold Star is the priciest single Eeveelution card (~€6,309 trend, €3,089 30-day average), edging Umbreon's (~€6,135 trend, €3,515 30-day average). Those trends are close enough, on so few sales, that the order could flip. Yet Espeon ranks only #2 by typical value (€29 median). That is exactly why we rank by the median: one illiquid vintage card shouldn't decide which Pokémon is "worth more" card-for-card.
Where does this data come from, and is it reliable?
We took every English printing of each Eeveelution (by card name, so tag-team cards like Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX count), joined it to Cardmarket's published price guide, and took the median per name (Cardmarket price guide (EUR trend), from Cardmarket's published download files, valued 2026-11-02). These are reference estimates, not sold records, and trend prices move. Vintage Gold Star prices are thin and illiquid, so we treat them as indicative and lead with the median. We never scrape marketplaces and never invent a number.
