Sylveon VMAX SA features an enchanting illustration of Sylveon dancing through a field of ribbons and flowers. At ¥128,000 ($800), Sylveon is the second-most popular Eeveelution chase after Umbreon, driven by strong collector demand for the fairy-type aesthetic.

Pull rate: ~1/36 boxes (est.)
Glaceon VMAX SA presents the ice-type Eeveelution in a serene winter landscape. At ¥80,000 ($500), it’s a strong mid-tier chase card and essential for collectors pursuing the complete Eeveelution VMAX SA set.

Leafeon VMAX SA depicts Leafeon basking in a lush forest canopy. At ¥59,800 ($370), Leafeon rounds out the accessible tier of Eeveelution VMAX SAs. The complete S6A Special Art run — four VMAX SAs plus eight V SAs — collectively exceeds ¥790,000 in value.
Other Notable Cards
Umbreon V SA (#085) — ¥46,500 ($290). The V-card version of Umbreon also commands a premium as a companion piece to the Moonbreon VMAX.
Espeon V SA (#081) — ¥17,000 ($105). The psychic-type Eeveelution’s Special Art V is a collector favorite, and PSA 10 copies trade several times above the raw price.
Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon & Glaceon V SAs — ¥15,000–¥22,000 each. Every Eeveelution gets a V Special Art in S6A, and collectors chase all eight to complete the run. Note: Espeon, Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon VMAX exist only in the separate VMAX Special Set promo (SP4) — they are not pulled from S6A boxes.

At roughly 18%, Eevee Heroes has one of the lowest EV ratios of any active set — but this reflects the extreme premium on sealed product rather than weak pulls. Buyers are paying for the sealed box appreciation and the lottery-ticket chance at the Moonbreon. This set is purchased as a collectible, not for expected value.

Why Is Eevee Heroes So Expensive?
Several factors drive the extreme premium on S6A Eevee Heroes:
- Complete Eeveelution theme — All eight Eeveelutions receive VMAX SA treatment. No other set has attempted this, making it a one-of-a-kind collector experience.
- Moonbreon — Umbreon VMAX SA became a cultural phenomenon beyond the TCG hobby, driving mainstream awareness and demand.
- Limited print run — Released during a period of global card shortage (2021), initial supply was extremely constrained. No significant reprints have occurred.
- Cross-market appeal — The Eeveelution theme appeals equally to competitive players, casual collectors, and Pokemon fans who don’t typically buy cards.
