Eevee Poncho Card: A Rare and Valuable CollectibleEevee Poncho Card: A Rare and Valuable Collectible Eevee and its evolutions have long been beloved Pokémon, making them highly sought-after collectibles. In 2017, Creatures Inc. released the Poncho-Wearing Eevee Series, featuring promotional cards depicting Eevee adorned with ponchos bearing the images of its evolutions. One such card showcases Eevee in a Flareon poncho, adorned with a vibrant red and orange checkered background enhanced by holofoil, resembling flames. The illustration hints at Eevee’s desire to evolve into Flareon, adding a narrative element that boosts its value. The “Fire Fang?” attack, a nod to Flareon’s signature move, further cements this narrative. The card’s rarity and status as part of an eight-card set contribute significantly to its value. Its unique character and fan-favorite status make it highly sought-after by collectors. While this card has never been released in English, a copy of the Eevee Poncho card (SM-P Promotional Cards 139/SM-P) commands a hefty price tag of 170,000 JPY (approximately US$1,087). For those seeking other Pokémon TCG collectibles, the SV-P Promotional Cards feature a Pikachu card. The SNKRDUNK app showcases the latest and most coveted single cards and boxes.
From day one, Eevee and its evolutions have been among the most popular Pokémon. To capitalize on this fact, Creatures Inc. released the Poncho-Wearing Eevee Series in 2017. This series includes eight promotional Pokémon TCG cards; each one features an image of Eevee wearing a poncho with an image of an Eeveelution.
This Poncho-wearing Eevee card is the version where Eevee wears a Flareon poncho. The checkered background of red and orange is highlighted by a layer of holofoil, creating a visual effect that almost looks like flames. This is of course a direct reference to Flareon itself.
The implication of the illustration, of course, is that Eevee’s true desire is to evolve into Flareon. This adds a narrative component to the card, which increases its overall value. The “Fire Fang?” attack with a question mark—a reference to Flareon’s actual Fire Fang attack—further makes it clear that this is just Eevee pretending to be Flareon.
That said, the most important factor is still the fan-favorite status of Eevee and all eight Eeveelutions. When you add that to the fact that it’s a promotional card that’s packed with character and its status as part of a set of eight, on top of everything else mentioned, it’s no surprise that this is an extremely valuable card.
This map has never been published in English.
