Umbreon in 2026: 30th Celebration Range, Prismatic Evolutions ex, and Five Plush Lines
By Dexhaul Team · Updated October 12, 2026 · 8 min read
The 30th Celebration anniversary wave gives Umbreon more dedicated TCG products in 2026 than any single year since Evolving Skies launched in 2021. Four distinct products span $35 to $600, with the English Battle Deck launching October 30, 2026.
That range sits on top of Umbreon's existing collector market: a full Evolving Skies card ladder, a 2025 Prismatic Evolutions ex card, and five parallel plush lines from $19 to $90.
This guide covers every tier, flags the October 30 window, and answers the Espeon ex vs Umbreon ex Battle Deck question directly.

The Mini Tin is the right entry if you want Umbreon-themed 30th Celebration packaging without committing to a deck. Two packs plus a sticker sheet for $35-$40. It is in stock now from multiple sellers.
The Japanese Premium Deck Set has shipped in four waves and currently sits at $125-$200 depending on the seller. It contains both the Espeon ex and Umbreon ex decks in Japanese, making it the only single product in the range that covers both characters.
Pokémon Card Game MEGA 30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon
$158.45 USD
The Night Ultra-Premium Collection is the flagship. It pairs Pikachu ex and Umbreon ex promo cards with 20 booster packs from the 30th Celebration set, a coin, playmats, and other accessories. It launched in September 2026 and is available from independent shops at $555-$600 USD.
Espeon ex vs Umbreon ex Battle Deck: Which to Buy
Both the Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks release October 30, 2026. Each is a 60-card ready-to-play deck built around the featured Eeveelution ex as the win condition.
The decks share the same MSRP ($19.99) and the same structure: 60 cards, damage counters, a playmat, and a coin. What differs is the card pool and the promo. The Umbreon ex deck plays a Night March-adjacent strategy with Umbreon ex as the attacker. Espeon ex builds a Psychic spread deck paired with supporting Eeveelutions.
For a collector buying one: the Night UPC's companion product is the Umbreon ex deck, which makes the Umbreon ex Battle Deck the more thematically coherent addition to a Night UPC display. For a player choosing one to open: the Umbreon ex deck's strategy is more linear and easier to pilot without additional support cards.
If you want both as a sealed pair, MHDEALSPLUS sells the set of two for $69.95, which is cheaper than buying them separately from most sellers. The EN launch date is October 30, 2026; JP versions have been available via the Premium Deck Set since earlier this year.
The Plush Tier: Five Lines, One Character
Umbreon's black-and-yellow ring design translates cleanly into plush, and five distinct product lines are available in 2026, each with a different use case.
The entry is the Pokémon Fit line. Ichiba Japan carries the Umbreon Fit Plush at $19 USD. It is a small, pose-true piece in the Pokémon Center Fit style, sourced from Japan.
The All Star Collection is the standard shelf piece. Fusion Gaming has the 2019 All Star Collection Umbreon at $32.91. It is soft, accurate to the game model, and sized correctly for a display shelf. The Ichiba Japan All Star Collection variant (PP122) runs $22 for the smaller size.
The Squishmallow reads differently from the standard lines: the 8-inch Pokemon Center Squishmallow from Booghe at $25 is marshmallow-soft and distinctly rounder. It is a comfort toy first, a collectible second, which is fine if that is what you are looking for.
The Sleeping Plush is the display piece. The 18-inch (46 cm) Umbreon sleeping pose from gundam-store.dk runs $51. It lies flat rather than standing upright, so it works on a desktop or bedside table rather than a shelf.
A newer fifth line worth noting: the Fuwafuwa Daki (Fluffy Cuddle) from Ichiba Japan at $52 is an oversized hugging plush in a body-pillow-adjacent form factor. It is a Japan-exclusive product line and the only Umbreon plush in this format currently available through independent sellers.
The Evolving Skies Card Ladder: Still the Collector Peak
The 2021 Sword and Shield Evolving Skies set gave Umbreon six card versions simultaneously. No other single set has done the same, and the card range remains the highest-prestige Umbreon TCG content available.
Entry is cheaper than it was at release. The standard Umbreon VMAX (095/203) is now available at $14.95 from Fabricators Forge, down from the $30+ range it held in 2021 and 2022. This is the most recognisable Umbreon card in the modern era.
The mid tier is the Full Art V (188/203) at $50-$77, and the Rainbow Rare VMAX (214/203) at $87-$90. Both are in stock from multiple sellers.
At the top: the Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare (215/203) is currently listed at $2,200-$2,422 for raw near-mint copies and up to $3,500 for professionally graded specimens. The card's dark forest background is widely considered one of the defining alt arts of the Sword and Shield era. Prices have settled roughly 15-20% below their 2022 peak, which makes this a steadier entry point than it was at height.
Prismatic Evolutions Adds Umbreon ex
The 2025 Scarlet and Violet set Prismatic Evolutions gave Umbreon two more cards, both under the ex mechanic that replaced VMAX in the Scarlet and Violet era.
The base Umbreon ex (060/131) is a Double Rare and is available from Hobbiesville at $9. It is the cheapest Umbreon ex in the current market and the right grab if you want the ex card without paying SIR prices.
The Special Illustration Rare Umbreon ex (161/131) is a different proposition entirely. It is numbered above the set total, features full-art illustration treatment, and is listed at $1,350-$1,500 depending on condition. That places it at the same tier as the Evolving Skies 215/203, and the two form a natural pairing for a dedicated Umbreon card collection.
Note that the 30th Celebration Battle Deck Umbreon ex is a separate card not from Prismatic Evolutions: it is a promo card included only in the deck, with its own set code. All three ex versions (060/131, 161/131, and the promo) are distinct items.
Which Tier Fits Your Collection
New to Umbreon: the Fit Plush ($19) and the Umbreon VMAX 095/203 ($14.95) together cover both sides of the character at under $35. They are the two most recognisable products in their respective categories.
Intermediate tier: the All Star Collection plush ($32.91) and the Prismatic Evolutions Double Rare ($9) add depth without major investment. If TCG is the focus, the 30th Celebration Battle Deck ($35-$43) adds the new Umbreon ex promo card plus a playable deck for roughly what the plush costs.
High tier: the JP Premium Deck Set ($125-$158) covers both Espeon ex and Umbreon ex in Japanese in one box and is shipping now. The Evolving Skies Alternate Art 215/203 ($2,200+) and the Prismatic Evolutions 161/131 SIR ($1,350+) are the two collector peaks for TCG singles.
The Night Ultra-Premium Collection ($555-$600) is for dedicated Umbreon collectors. It is the only product in the range where Umbreon ex is the featured character rather than a companion, and it is available now from independent shops.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the 30th Celebration Umbreon ex Battle Deck release in English?
The English 30th Celebration Battle Deck featuring Umbreon ex launches October 30, 2026. Pre-orders are currently available from independent sellers at $35-$60 USD. The Japanese equivalent has been available via the 30th Celebration Premium Deck Set since earlier in 2026.
What is the difference between the Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks?
Both decks release October 30, 2026 at the same MSRP ($19.99). The Espeon ex deck uses a Psychic spread strategy; the Umbreon ex deck is a more linear attacker build centered on Umbreon ex. The featured promo card is the primary difference for collectors. The Japanese Premium Deck Set includes both at once.
What is in the 30th Celebration Japanese Premium Deck Set?
The set contains the Espeon ex deck and the Umbreon ex deck in Japanese, along with promo cards, a coin, and accessories. It has shipped in multiple waves and is available from independent sellers at $125-$200 USD. The MEGA variant (labeled "MEGA 30th CELEBRATION") includes additional premium accessories at the higher end of that range.
How many Umbreon cards are in Evolving Skies?
Evolving Skies (2021) contains six distinct Umbreon card versions: the base V (094/203), the standard VMAX (095/203), the Full Art V (188/203), the Alternate Art V (189/203), and two secret rares above the set total (214/203 rainbow rare and 215/203 alternate art VMAX). No other single set has concentrated this many Umbreon printings simultaneously.
Is the Umbreon VMAX 215/203 still worth buying in 2026?
The 215/203 alternate art VMAX is currently listed at $2,200-$2,422 for raw near-mint copies, roughly 15-20% below its 2022 peak. It remains one of the most sought-after single cards in the Sword and Shield era. Whether it is worth buying depends on condition, budget, and whether you are collecting or speculating: the card has proven long-term appeal, but single-card prices always carry risk.
