🎨 Exclusive Eeveelution Art Rares

This set introduces four exclusive Illustration Rares (IRs) featuring Eevee, Leafeon, Sylveon, and Umbreon, each illustrated by Hyogonosuke. When arranged together, they form a connected forest scene collectible as a complete panorama.

These are only available in Simplified Chinese Gem Pack Vol. 2.

🎯 Pull Rates & Collector Insights

Community data suggests each unopened box has roughly a 1 in 3 chance of containing at least one Art Rare (IR) or VMAX hit. However, Reddit users debate whether a ★★★‑level card per pack is guaranteed—the official stance is unclear, and many collectors report variance:

“It looks like the hit of the box is 1 Vmax or AR... roughly 1 in 3 box chance” 
“Not true. There is no guarantee with these boxes” Reddit

Still, the rarity breakdown is estimated as:

  • Common (●) ~50%
  • Uncommon (◆) ~25%
  • ★ ~17.9%
  • ★★ ~4.93%
  • ★★★ ~2.17%

💰 Card & Box Value Trends

Collectors on Reddit note that this set is highly sought after and likely of limited print run. Many recommend holding sealed boxes for long‑term value, especially given demand for the exclusive Eeveelution IRs.


🧭 Why It Matters for Collectors

  • Exclusivity & Rarity: Only Chinese Gem Pack Vol. 2 issues include those four IRs with panoramic artwork.

  • Stylish Aesthetic: The Hyogonosuke art style is coveted by collectors and shines under sleeves.

  • Speculative Return: With limited availability and clear demand for Eeveelution art, sealed boxes are trending as investment-grade collectibles.

  • Guaranteed Hits: Every pack includes at least a ★ rarity card, making even base pulls visually satisfying.
