Umbreon in 2026: Six Evolving Skies Cards, Five Plush Lines, and One Pre-Order Worth Knowing
By Dexhaul Team · August 25, 2026
Umbreon is one of the few Pokémon that genuinely spans every collector budget right now.
At the low end: a Pokémon Fit import plush for $17. At the mid tier: the standard Evolving Skies VMAX single for $32, or a 12-inch Squishmallow for $45.
At the top: a secret-rare Evolving Skies card listed at $2,850, and a 30th Celebration Night UPC pre-order between $489 and $590 depending on the seller. The question is not whether there is something for you: it is where on that range to start or expand.
This guide covers the full ladder, entry through collector tier, and flags both pre-orders before their windows close.
The Plush Tier: Five Lines, One Character
Umbreon's distinctive black-and-yellow ring design translates well into soft goods, and the result is a wider plush selection than most Eeveelutions outside of Eevee itself.
The entry point is the Pokémon Fit line. The Fit Plush from Japan Figure Store is listed at $17.10 and ships from Japan: it is a small, pose-true figure in the Pokémon Center Fit style. Ichiba Japan carries the same line at $19 with a mascot carabiner variant at the same price, which doubles as a bag accessory.
The All Star Collection plush is the standard mid-tier. Fusion Gaming has the 2019 All Star Collection Umbreon at $33.89 and Heroic Fandoms carries the 7-inch variant at $29.99. These are the versions most people picture when they think of an Umbreon plush: soft, accurate to the game model, and appropriately sized for a shelf.
The Squishmallow is a different product category even though it shares the same character. The 12-inch Pokemon Center Squishmallow listed at $45 is marshmallow-soft and rounder than the standard plush: it reads as a comfort toy first, a collectible second. If you are buying for a younger fan or want something tactilely different from the shelf-display lines, this is the right pick.
One step above is the Sleeping Plush. The 18-inch Umbreon from Thistle Tavern at $60, and the Jazwares-branded version at $62, both show Umbreon curled in a resting pose. The sleeping format is a display piece: it lays flat, which means it works on a bedside table or desktop rather than standing on a shelf.
The Evolving Skies Card Ladder: Six Printings in One Set
This is where Umbreon's collector case gets genuinely unusual.
The 2021 Sword and Shield set Evolving Skies gave Umbreon six distinct card versions: the base Umbreon V (094/203), the standard VMAX (095/203), a Full Art V (188/203), an Alternate Art V (189/203), and two secret rares numbered above the set total (214/203 and 215/203). No other single set gave Umbreon this much simultaneous coverage, and that concentration is why the set still commands collector attention four years after release.
Entry is easy. The standard VMAX (095/203) is available from Troll Australia at $32: this is the most recognisable Umbreon card in modern TCG, the one that most players picture when they think of Evolving Skies Umbreon. The Full Art V (188/203) runs $50 to $77 depending on condition and seller.
The Alternate Art V (189/203) steps up sharply: current listings show it at $403 from TistaCards. That card is considered one of the defining alt arts of the Sword and Shield era, featuring a dark forest background that contrasts with the character's design in a way the standard holo does not.
The two secret rares above 203 are the collector ceiling. The 214/203 variant is available at $88.95 from Zulus Games. The 215/203 is the highest-priced single in the current market, listed at $2,850.50 from Tier 1 Games: that figure represents a graded or near-mint copy of the rarest numbered Umbreon in the set.
The practical entry recommendation: start at 095/203 ($32). It is the card that defined Evolving Skies for most players and is affordable enough to slab if you find a high-grade copy.
Two 30th Celebration Pre-Orders to Know
Umbreon gets two dedicated 30th Celebration releases in the second half of 2026, and both are open for pre-order right now.
The first is the 30th Celebration Battle Deck featuring Umbreon ex. 50cards.shop has it at $38.99 with a listing date for October 30, 2026. Boxed Vinyl carries it at $34.95 as a pre-order.
This deck is the lowest-cost way to get an official Umbreon ex card: the Battle Deck format is a ready-to-play 60-card deck built around the featured card, serving both players and collectors who want the ex at a fraction of what a single would cost later.
The second is the 30th Celebration Night Ultra-Premium Collection, releasing September 16, 2026. This box pairs Pikachu ex and Umbreon ex promo cards with 20 booster packs and additional accessories.
MHDEALSPLUS has the pre-order at $489.95, with other sellers ranging to $590 and above. Some listings carry a limit of one per customer at the lowest price points, so locking in early matters if the $489.95 tier is the target.
The Night UPC is a meaningful Umbreon product in a way the Day edition is not: Umbreon ex is the featured character, not a companion. For a dedicated Umbreon collector, this is the 2026 release that matters most.
Which Tier Fits Your Collection
If you are starting out, the Fit Plush ($17) or the All Star Collection ($33.89) covers the physical merch side cleanly. The standard VMAX (095/203, $32) is the right TCG entry: affordable, iconic, and available at grade if you want to protect it.
Intermediate collectors have two distinct directions. The Alt Art V (189/203) at $403 is a significant step but represents the creative high point of Umbreon in the Evolving Skies era. The Sleeping Plush and the Squishmallow round out the physical side at $45 to $60.
The two 30th Celebration pre-orders are time-sensitive in different ways. The Battle Deck at $34.95 is low-risk and available until launch. The Night UPC at $489.95 is the one to move on: some sellers are already at limit-one, and UPC pre-orders at this price tier historically fill before release week.
