Card Number: 162/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Roaring Moon ex is the only card on this list that isn't an Eevee or an Eeveelution, and it still earns its spot. The incredible Shinji Kanda, the same artist behind the Magikarp on our Paldea Evolved list, draws it in his etched style with a huge red wing sweeping across a swirling gold sky.

Set: Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions
Card Number: 167/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Eevee ex sits among soft white flowers with a crown of Tera crystals on its head, looking calm and a little shy.

It's a quiet, pretty card, and I like that. tono painted it in soft, hazy colors that make it feel like a pressed flower.

Set: Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions
Card Number: 146/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Flareon ex curls up inside a ring of swirling orange flames, with its Tera crystals glowing above. Nurikabe, who also drew the Groudon on our Paradox Rift list, loves a good fire scene.

Set: Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions
Card Number: 150/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Glaceon ex floats in a sea of icy blues, with lacy snowflake patterns behind it and a ring of colorful Tera crystals above. It's the cleanest looking of the Eeveelution cards, and it looks great next to Vaporeon in a binder.

Set: Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions
Card Number: 149/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Now we're getting into the real chase cards for Prismatic Evolutions with Vaporeon ex.

2. Sylveon ex - $472.71
Set: Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions
Card Number: 156/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
It never fails with Sylveon. Cona Nitanda wraps it in pink ribbons, bows, and flowers, and the pastel colors make the whole card feel like a gift. Only one card on this list is worth more, and it's next.

Set: Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions
Card Number: 161/131
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Umbreon ex is the undisputed top pull in Prismatic Evolutions, and it sells for close to three times the Sylveon at #2.

It looks like a stained glass moon, and it's no surprise that it's the card collectors want.
Final Thoughts
Prismatic Evolutions came by its name honestly, with a rainbow of Tera crystals and an evolution for every type.

It'll be interesting to see how the middle of the list shuffles as the Eevee love keeps rolling.
