Jolteon · Hidden Fates, what to know.
About the Jolteon card
Jolteon sits at #23 in Hidden Fates, released in August 2019. Hidden Fates is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by Kouki Saitou. In the games, Jolteon evolves from Eevee, which makes it a late-stage card in the line.
The flavor text on the card reads: "Its lungs contain an organ that creates electricity. The crackling sound of electricity can be heard when it exhales." Pokédex entries from this era are short and often quirky, written by the original Japanese localization team for a specific stat-block layout that no longer exists in modern cards.
About Jolteon in the Pokémon world
The Electric Eeveelution. Spiky yellow silhouette. Jungle holo Jolteon completes the Eeveelution trio in the set. Steady appreciation.
Print variants and how to spot them
Hidden Fates shipped in Holofoil and Reverse Holo, plus a special Shiny Vault subset (numbered SV1 through SV94) that runs alongside the standard 69-card set. Shiny Vault cards use alternate-color shiny treatments and pull at lower rates than the standard holos.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, modern Rares grade easily but the secondary market for graded modern non-holo Rares is thin. The math rarely justifies submission unless the card is a tournament staple or the Pokémon has independent collector traction.
If you are buying this card
For raw purchases of this card, verify centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface scratches under angled light. Modern Rares are inexpensive in raw and graded condition; submission math rarely works unless the card has independent collector demand.
