Umbreon ex - 217/187 - SV8a: Terastal Fest ex (SV8a)
The Umbreon ex SAR — #217/187 — SV8a: Terastal Fest ex is the chase card of one of Pokémon TCG's most anticipated Japanese releases, and the secondary market has spoken loudly about its status.
Special Art Rare is the tier that matters. Numbered beyond the set's base count at 217/187, this card carries the full-art textured holographic treatment that defines the SAR slot — and the subject is Umbreon, one of the most collector-obsessed Pokémon in the hobby. The community immediately dubbed it "Moonbreon 2.0," a direct callback to the legendary Umbreon VMAX Hyper Rare from Eevee Heroes that became one of the most coveted chase cards of the Sword & Shield era. Illustrated by Yashiro Nanaco, the artwork captures Umbreon channeling the Terastal phenomenon — the Scarlet & Violet mechanic that crystallizes Pokémon into gem-like, radiant forms — rendered in rich dark tones with intricate prismatic texturing that makes this one of the most visually striking cards in the modern Scarlet & Violet era.
