All Eeveelution Cards Revealed from “Terastal Festival ex!”

That Jolteon ex has to be the best Stellar I've seen that isn't Terapagos. That is an incredibly cheap 240 that I can see be pulled off by having Palkia VSTAR be a quick engine or using Sada's Vitality.


The Vaporeon ex would be amazing if the Tera Rule did not exist, the Umbreon and Espeon are really funny, and the rest are meh to garbage. Love the MAX Rod though, seems like a perfect solution to decks that don't particularly need an aggro spec like max belt or prime catcher, and especially helpful for Stellar decks in general.

The only one I see potential is Jolteon (still not stellar) and Leafeon isn’t terrible. I’m super not impressed by the rest but some could be fun

Flareon seems pretty decent. It's a mini Trinity Nova, but probably would depend on other attackers to function.
 
I don't think it will happen, but now with the regular versions revealed we will have IR cards without the hats too? Haha

Amarys is the equivalent to Yu-Gi-Oh's Into the Void, where you draw some cards (although you only draw 1 for Into the Void only if you have 3+ cards in your hand), but you have to discard your entire hand at the end of the turn. In other words, you'd have to use as many cards in your hand as you can that turn.

I would use it in an Armarouge ex setup but I'd rather use powerglass + magma basin & fire off, I've actually been testing that today and it's pulling good results, so I don't know if Flareon would be better for it as a set up support meatshield.
 
Umbreon's the first card that just let's you take a Prize card without any gimmicks. It is extremely restrictive and slow (even if you found a way to power it up every turn), but it is worth noting.
 
I like how each of their second attacks are named after a gemstone, ties in nicely with the Tera theme of the set.
 
Leafeon: not too shabby, pretty decent first attack, like a stronger version of Energy Crush, would be effective against many decks that dont discard all energy, ie Raging Bolt, and unfortunately the second attack is 10 damage short of OHKOing it, but it could definitely work against Charizard, if they have 3 Energy on the board or Regidrago if they have 5

Flareon: with its first attack it's playing more of a supporting role in helping your Benched tera Pokémon but unfortunately the damage of the first attack isn't too great. 280 is a very good number and I wouldn't worry too much about the side effect, since you should've been able to set up a Benched Pokémon so either you retreat or die

Vaporeon: doing 60 to each ex sounds fun until you remember half of them have bench protection so that's a bad attack to use. If it did, it would've been useful paired with the second attack so it would've put Charizard and Dragapult in range but it doesn't do that.

Glaceon: the first attack is not very good, the second attack sounds at least interesting but you know what else instantly KOs opponent's Pokémon with exactly 6 damage counters on it? 6 damage counters.

Jolteon: deals max 210 for 2 energy which isn't too shabby, that's decent against Ogerpon decks. It's also the best user of the 280 one turn recharge attack since it has no retreat cost.

Espeon: I'm a fan of espeon it's one of my favourite Pokémon, and these attacks are... Odd? I could see them work though. Shuffling every evolution Mon back into the deck is huge. I feel like it could work as a one-off in Gardevoir decks if they run dark for Munkidori and add Luminous, then it would cover some threats that the small boys struggle against

Sylveon: this one's already out soon, idk if people have been using it tbh. Angelite sounds pretty powerful, like, f- your Pidgeot or Gardevoir or Baxcalibur or whatever

Umbreon: reminds me of Ultra Beasts which I think they should bring back, but I'm not sure how strong it will be. You're taking (only) 1 Prize card while ruining your own board state and keeping your opponent's fully intact, so unless there's some control deck that blocks your opponent from doing anything while you try to pull this off continuously, I don't think it'll be that useful. Maybe Dusknoir or something idk
 
Espeon is MUCH better than it looks. Same for Flareon. Jolteon is okayish, Leafeon is only fine.
I love what Vaporeon offers.
Glaceon didn’t hit me that hard, but an accompanying 1-of for Vap… why not.
Umbreon is my 3rd favorite mon, but this card is so bad. An attack with that cost on other mons will result in 2 prizes, not one. Ehh…
tldr; Sylveon + Espeon can become the real deal.
 
Espeon stall sounds dumb but funny, Umbreon is also funny by just completely ignoring what your opponent is doing and slowly drawing prizes and putting the game on a bit of a timer. Only way I can see it work for now is Dark Patch Mirage Gate for 4 turns, Darkrai VSTAR for 5, and then slowly charging up one more while trying to get 7 in the LZ for the sixth.
 
It's just a shame that Sylveon has been relegated to the Psychic type. It looks sooo much better in pink that Eeveelution sets don't hit quite like they could if we brought back Fairy type and Fairy Energy (and check Dragapult and Regidrago while we're at it)

How is Espeon ex's Amethyst attack worth it? Espeon EX from BreakPoint could devolve each of your opponent's Pokémon and put them back into your opponent's hand for a single Colorless Energy... on a basic... meaning you're having to evolve a Pokémon and attach two other Energy cards to get close to the same effect, but the cards get shuffled in. Espeon EX was great as a tech in spread decks, for which purpose this Espeon ex is unplayable, so I guess the added expense and convolution is justified because Pokémon thinks it will disrupt your opponent's board beyond their ability to set up again?... I'm just not seeing it.
(As of right now, only Espeon ex, Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, and the previously revealed Flareon ex and Eevee ex are translated.)

Glass Trumpet/Crispin to get the energies on + sparkling crystal, we have the evolution cheating eevee from Surging Sparks. And shuffling the Evolutions is far stronger than using TM devo to send things into hand. For example, it is stronger into Dragapult and Gardy, by removing their draw engine, which TM devo would let them put straight back down. Combine that with an Iono, and that's a bit of hell for them to recover...

However, while TM devo exists, I don't think we will see it as much. Though, the first attack for PCC can be instant in a turn with the cheat eevee, DTE and Sparkling crystal, so a nice inclusion for control decks.

"This Pokémon can’t attack during your next turn." These are the words that keep me up at night from how much they ruin good potential on cards.

To be fair this is more of a collectors set so I guess its fine but still annoying that like the 3 OG eeveelutions have this rule.

They all use the same energy cost I assume maybe there will be a card similar to the Ogerpon mask item card we got that lets you switch them so you can chain 280s but other than that its the only potential I see.

EDIT: Umbreons second attack seems interesting, might see play. Glaceon would be so much nicer if its energy cost went somewhat is Dragapult ex though it could see some play. MAX Rod is a nice ace spec maybe on par with Prime Catcher

'this pokemon can't attack during your next turn' is the easiest drawback of an attack to play around. All you have to do is move to a benched attacker, or retreat and play a switch card/prime catcher. Keep in mind, these stage 1 pokemon are going to get knocked out each time, so it hardly matters. This attack is on par with lost impact on Tina VSTAR.

Is card of demise. Is the same concept, gives you a load of resources in exchange of potentially losing them.

In yugioh, setting cards bypasses the restriction, so it was a very good card. In pokemon, the card is quite weak as deck is easily accesible via draws or searches every turn.

I more meant it in like a "They could of done something more unique than just this" way as I feel too many cards have that effect. I expected more unique attacks for the eeveelutions. Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Sylveon are fine but for the main 3 I expected more than just a "They cant attack during your next turn". I will say Jolteon having free retreat makes this way better as you can hit 280 and switch in another 280 easily without switch cards.

espeon ex is way stronger than it seems. certain decks it would be possible to cripple your opponent for the rest of the game using that attack. just think- if your opponent has used 3 rare candies to evolve two charizards and a pidgeot, you let them get to three prize cards, then hit them with a roxanne and espeon (or even an unfair stamp) there’s almost no way they can recover that as long as you keep taking prize cards. what makes espeon so good is that it puts the pokemon back in the deck so even if they had a bibarel down it would go back in the deck too, keeping them from having any way to recover. Because it goes back in the deck, it is also useful against any other evolved two prizers or one prizers as well, as long as you time it will it cold even cripple the likes of regidrago or lugia.
 
Espeon ex is huge. That's /insane/. It's not easy, and it's only gonna be in some matchups of course. You'll have to pick and choose which Eeveelutions to focus. But when Espeon is gonna be good it's gonna be outrageous. I'm also impressed with Umbreon but we'll have to see. Discarding all three of those energy isn't nothing, even with the power of Sparkling Crystal + Crispin.
