A new Pokémon set called Prismatic Evolutions is releasing in January, and the hype is already out in full force. Pokémon Center pre-orders for Elite Trainer Boxes sold out in a few hours yesterday, which is rare to see for a pre-order.
A lot of the excitement stems from this set focusing on the Eeveelutions (Umbreon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, etc.), which are fan favorites. The last time we saw a set like that was Evolving Skies in 2021, which gave us the iconic Moonbreon card that now goes for $1K raw ($1.5k in a PSA 10).
Today some grainy images leaked showing what the Eeveelution Special Illustration Rares from Prismatic Evolution will look like. That added some serious fuel to frenzy that was already starting to form around the set. I personally think they look great and already know I'm going to be ripping packs to pull as many as I can (especially the Leafeon and Umbreon).
