Record

In the Prismatic Evolutions card set, the top Umbreon card was valued at 4 to 19 times other top cards in March 2026, and about 4 times the Pikachu one

7× TCGplayer market values, March 2026

EstimateRatios of vendor price estimates; weak and point-in-time.

How it’s built

  1. Took March 2026 market values from TCGplayer, a card marketplace, as quoted by a collectibles news site: Umbreon $1,195.57 against $62.66 to $296.96 for four comparable cards.
  2. The Pikachu comparison uses a price-guide site's range, $991 to $1,195, against $280.

What we assumed

  • Market-value trackers reflect what cards actually sell for.They are vendor estimates from a single snapshot, not dated sale prices.
  • The Pikachu card is a fair comparison.It is a different rarity and comes from a different source, so it is given as a range rather than one figure.

Sanity check

One month, one set, mostly one source. Resale values show collector demand; The Pokémon Company earns nothing from them.

Where it comes from

Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:

Show the working
  • Times against Sylveon ex SIR: 4.03
  • Times against Espeon ex SIR: 5.34
  • Times against Eevee ex SIR: 9.51
  • Times against Raging Bolt ex SIR: 19.1
  • Times against mean of four SIRs: 6.74
  • Times against Pikachu ex hyper rare cross source: 3.54 to 4.27
  1. 1,195.57 / 296.96 = 4.03
  2. / 223.84 = 5.34
  3. / 125.75 = 9.51
  4. / 62.66 = 19.08
  5. mean of four = (296.96 + 223.84 + 125.75 + 62.66) / 4 = 177.30, 1,195.57 / 177.30 = 6.74
  6. Pikachu: 991 / 280 = 3.54 to 1,195 / 280 = 4.27
  7. 450 / 280 = 1.61, 309 / 280 = 1.10, 300 / 280 = 1.07
