About this card

Umbreon · Neo Discovery, what to know.

About the Umbreon card

Umbreon sits at #13 in Neo Discovery, the ninth of the Wizards of the Coast print runs. Illustration by Kimiya Masago. In the games, Umbreon evolves from Eevee, which makes it a late-stage card in the line.

The flavor text on the card reads: "When darkness falls, the rings on the body begin to glow, striking fear in the hearts of anyone nearby." 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 Umbreon in the Pokémon world

The Dark Eeveelution. Black silhouette with yellow rings. The undisputed favorite Eeveelution. Across every era, Umbreon cards command the highest collector demand of any Eeveelution. Umbreon VMAX Alt Art from Evolving Skies is one of the most expensive modern Pokémon cards. The Neo Discovery 1st Edition Umbreon holo is the vintage benchmark.

Print variants and how to spot them

Neo Discovery shipped in 1st Edition (stamped) and Unlimited prints. The 1st Edition stamp convention is identical to earlier Wizards sets. No Shadowless variant exists for the Neo era and no widely-recognized error prints.

Grading and condition

For graded buyers, the holo window is where most grade points are won or lost. Surface scratches and print misregistration on the foil are common, and centering on Wizards-era holos was inconsistent enough that PSA 10s remain genuinely scarce a quarter century later. The PSA 9 to PSA 10 price gap on this kind of card is wide enough that pre-grading inspection under a loupe is well worth the time.

If you are buying this card

If you are buying this card, the order of operations is variant first, then condition. Verify the print variant (1st Edition stamp visible, drop shadow on the right edge if Unlimited) before you negotiate on price. For raw purchases above $500, insist on photo or video showing the holo surface under direct light from a 45-degree angle so you can spot hairlines. The "live market price" on this page tracks recent eBay sales, but the actual transaction price will vary by variant, grade, and how recently a comparable sale closed.
