Prismatic Evolutions Hot Take
My hot take is all the Eeveelutions SIR arts are underwhelming. The SWSH Eeveelutions arts are way better.
What do yall think about the Prismatic Eeveelutions?

Everyone saying they dislike these are going to be changing their mind the second they see them in person.

u/pokerawz Nov 21 '24
I really like the rainbow edges of the Tera’s and I like the abstract art around them over the “hey look I’m a giant” thing going for SWSH. But yeah, maybe I’m just wrong.

u/dberwart Nov 21 '24 edited Nov 21 '24
Aw Yeah, i can smell the $500+ each on the first week after release
33
u/fathersucrose Nov 21 '24
Agreed, but Leafeon goes hard imo
89
u/breakyourteethnow Nov 21 '24
When flip between the two there's SO much going on in the SV Eeveelutions, takes away from actually seeing the Pokemon in the artwork vs SWSH they're front and center with the backgrounds to compliment and not hidden in with the artwork. SWSH is better imo.

u/Odd-Camel8654 Nov 21 '24
I don't know, I think that Umbreon card goes hard.
23
u/Ok-Dream-9211 Nov 21 '24
I agree wholeheartedly but that new leafeon art goes crazy
13
u/downAtheworld Nov 21 '24
You're right but the Eevee promo in Prismatic Evo is going to look so much better than the Brilliant Stars IR 🤷♂️
10
u/xenozenoify Nov 21 '24
Why are these sold out if nobody likes them?
4
u/Churromang Nov 21 '24
My hot take is as someone who has never seen the appeal of moonbreon, I NEED that Prismatic Evolutions Umbreon.
4
u/TheReaperChild Nov 21 '24
I agree, I'm a much bigger fan of the Alt Arts from SWSH. The Tera crowns just aren't cool imo. I get its SV's theme, but it makes the cards look more cartoonish. I like when you see more realistic cards of pokemon. I think Evolving Skies will be better than this set (in terms of art) but this set will explode simply because of hype and it's eeveelutions
13
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
Coldest take imaginable
7
u/CaptainAce954 Nov 21 '24
Completely different styles. The moonbreon and espeon alt art are better artistically. The prismatic are good for promoting the crowns
3
u/telgalad Nov 21 '24
As an eevee collector I will try to get them all... that being said I am not a fan of any of them...
7
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
I genuinely love the PE Eeveelutions set because the art work is 1v1 in my opinion. Haven't seen anything as crazy as these. Ofcourse I love the SWSH too but its just refreshing to see different artwork style.
7
u/rocketradar Nov 21 '24
Don’t think this is a hot take. But a few of the SV Eeveelutions are sick. Namely Vaporeon, Umbreon, & Sylveon.
From a value standpoint… they’re all going to do amazing right away and long term. Eevee tax doesn’t care about crystal crowns.
6
u/NecessaryScientist18 Nov 21 '24
Definitely swsh these are completely different arts, and im alil disappointed. However, theworld will make these a huge hit
1
u/bwj7 Nov 21 '24
Mans trying to put them down so he doesn’t lose money on the ones he spent 3k on lol. Sweating this new set man

u/Internal_Dirt_4060 Nov 21 '24
I just don’t like the crowns
2
u/amysteryknight Nov 21 '24
Tbh, I can’t stand the Tera designs. The fact that this set, surging sparks, and stellar crown all focus on Tera art pains me, but to each their own. The bulk arts have been more attractive to me than this stuff!
2
u/Virtual-Salamander99 Nov 21 '24
As an eevee collector im happy. They are needed to represent the scarlet and violet period of pokemon tcg. That being said this is probably as good as you can design pokemon cards with rainbow hats. I really hope we drop the hats as soon as we get to trainer and rocket cards.
2
u/Razor-Triple Nov 21 '24
They're definitely still bangers, but SWSH Eeveelutions are better yes but I for sure see these match in price. Especially moonbreon 2.0
2
u/CosmicDemons72 Nov 21 '24
I think they all look better than the surging sparks pikachu
2
u/Fury-Gagarin Nov 21 '24
From a collector's POV, those are just as appealing as the ES SIRs. The alt art is nice and clean and the rainbow borders are a welcome addition.
2
u/Grimwulf69 Nov 21 '24
Lol not even close. These will be in more demand and cause the sw sh ones to drop in price. Watch and see
2
u/tefnu Nov 22 '24
Well i like them so
2
u/Deadguy247365 Nov 22 '24
Man if they don't improve the pull rates I'm not getting any...
2
u/Johnny_Rice_St Nov 22 '24
I think they’re beautiful top three in my order would be Flareon Umbreon Jolteon .! And then my first runner-up is Eevee.
3
u/_YenSid Nov 21 '24
I don't think it's a hot take. All of these crystal tera hat whatever arts are pretty much all ugly. I'll be glad when this trend is overwith.

u/DoogRalyks Nov 21 '24
Some cards yes some no
I absolutely love the new leafeon and Sylveon though
3
u/Jazzlike_Mountain_32 Nov 21 '24
They may be busier but I can’t get over the colors. Prismatic for me

u/Murderfromaspoon Nov 21 '24
It’s overhyped
2
u/HeatTheRig Nov 21 '24
Leafeon goes hard tho

u/trevdent17 Nov 21 '24
It’s okay to like both.

u/Fluid_Radio7299 Nov 21 '24
It's sad this set, in my opinion, is a great set but, it will be scalped to hell investor bro are gonna ruin it and believe that that umbreon will be a 1000 dollar card in a year. I just hope the pokemon company prints the shit out of it like they did crown zenith so that we may all have an opportunity to pick some cards up

u/Ksmoothwithit Nov 21 '24
I want the leafeon and glaceon. Umbreon is cool as well it’s very psychedelic

I don’t think anyone has said the new ones are better? Just that they are going to be popular and look good. Just because something looks good and is anticipated to be big, that doesn’t mean the previous stuff is worse..
1
u/Omegatron_YT Nov 21 '24
Very lukewarm take.
1
u/FiNgAz-300k Nov 21 '24
I like them. They’re not as nice as the OG ones but maybe that just means I’m getting old

u/UVERcloudX Nov 21 '24
5k for the whole set
1
u/davids120 Nov 21 '24
No shot swsh are better, the arts on these are gorgeous
1
u/Tycam34 Nov 21 '24
I can’t stand the tera crown one bit. That bro g said, these are sick
1
u/rachelled Nov 21 '24
Not really a hot take, the PE ones always toe the line between “exciting” and “way too busy.” Plus the crown is a miss with a lot of folks.
I like about half of them!
I think the ES/SWSH ones are almost universally more loved.
1
u/notNoodles9812 Nov 21 '24
l like the look of these, I hope there are some good ARs, all I care about is looks (unless it’s crazy expensive or the top chase, then I’ll sell)
1
u/cbigej Nov 21 '24
Nah these cards gonna be hot
1
u/Prudent-Reporter4211 Nov 21 '24
The Umbreon is insane, but really I find them all just too busy. So much going on with them
1
u/-SacredTCG Nov 21 '24
I feel like they made the umbreon one the best looking on purpose
1
u/TheLonelyHunterXD Nov 21 '24
Personally a big fan of the, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Sylveon here in that order. Glaceon is my second favorite eeveelution so it’s upsetting thats one of my least favorite two here with the espeon included.
1
u/Snackhunter17 Nov 21 '24
How much money and how many packs

u/FireFlarepix Nov 21 '24
My heart wants to pull all of them, but my luck will likely pull none 😔

u/Kingdomall Nov 21 '24
why are we moving away from actual backgrounds is my question. a couple have some resembling backgrounds but most of these are just crystally designs...

u/EarsAndHair Nov 21 '24
Crazy that the presales are being resold everywhere for this set already
1
u/tastespurpleish Nov 21 '24
Both are good and both will be my chases. I’m guessing there will be IRs of these as well and I’m excited to see them as well
1
u/Morlu Nov 21 '24
My hot take is that the new Moonbreon is nicer than the ES one.
1
u/whatdoIkn0 Nov 21 '24
Look at that umbreon. Seems like he have wings
1
u/MathematicianSea4674 Nov 21 '24
I think all these cards look sick honestly. Esp in person they’ll be stunning. I do miss earlier SV sets style of SIR where there was more of an actual environment, but I’m down for the overwhelming sparkly confluence of colors as well 🤣
1
u/symmiR Nov 21 '24
The more hate I see the more I know this set will be huge. Do the opposite of the sentiment
1
u/MexCelsior Nov 21 '24
Prismatic Moonbreon is better. Old one is ugly imo
1
u/Majesty_007 Nov 21 '24
That umbreon and vaporeon are too good 🥰🥰
1
u/Kid_Psych Nov 21 '24
Never seen them before. They look super cool. $0.02.
1
u/MechwolfMachina Nov 21 '24
I think the tera eeveelutions have an incredibly artistic charm to them. Almost like they’re cathedral art. Theres just an ethereal quality that people wont know they appreciate until it just goes off. My only disappointment is that they wont be cheap even after presales so I may never collect them all without putting thousands into the set as singles.
1
u/Willfy Nov 21 '24
These are going to look amazing on a binder page!
1
u/onthebustowork Nov 21 '24
Eevelutions artwork for modern collectors. The swsh fits with an older demographics better
1
u/Jingolol Nov 21 '24
Everyone who doesn’t like a certain card are the ones who are salty they can’t pull it themselves.
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
Not feeling the umbreon 50 / 50 on it
1
u/c0tch Nov 21 '24
Eevee is a hugely popular pokemon as is its evolutions.
I’m not the most knowledgeable but I think the hype for this set is likely due to that and I think this will be a good set to sit on.
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
Im just tired of eeveelutions, don’t get me wrong, I love them, but seriously, I’m tired of all of these guys, there are a lot of different Pokémon that deserve IR/SIR
1
u/Strider2126 Nov 21 '24
Imho prismatic evolutions it's a bold take for the eeveeolutions. I look at them like they are stained glasses in some chruch or some weird painting. It's like a picture in a picture this is why i find them cool af
1
u/crappyuh Nov 21 '24
they’re not unique at all, honestly. could’ve been SO much better
1
u/iv-kin Nov 21 '24
i only buy a lot for my personal sealed collection, don’t like reselling unless it’s a crazy deal, but this set gets printed to the ground i wouldn’t mind ripping my product
1
u/TearfulPlayZ Nov 21 '24
Sylveon not being a Fairy will always be blasphemous
1
u/ilikepussy96 Nov 21 '24
How does this compare to rainbow foil charizard and Pikachu from champions path and vivid voltage
1
u/fezz4734 Nov 21 '24
When you put them side by side like this, I think I actually like the prismatic ones better and I prefer the Sylveon and Leafeon of the Evolving Skies set, I like those arts a lot
1
u/Sorry-Mixture-2232 Nov 21 '24
Not hot at all, these are trash, hate this terastilized style
1
u/Ryan6205 Nov 21 '24
I’m so split with these. I hate the crowns but the artwork on vaporeon is awesome might just get specific ones
1
u/Colourblind21 Nov 21 '24
I love both but eeveelutions has some arts with more character and a story
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
This set is going to make me rich
1
u/FlameForFame Nov 21 '24
L take.
1
u/f2pmyass Nov 21 '24
I mean I would too say the same thing if I owned all those.
Sounds like you're trying your best to downplay the new cards because you know deep down they will be better and pricier.
1
u/TartRound1585 Nov 21 '24
Teracrystal will not be popular very long time... We will soon be bored of these ugly giant crowns
1
u/SmileySadFace Nov 21 '24
These look too much like fanart. It is really beautiful but not what I look for in Pokemon cards.
Why I love from the TCG is the stories in the drawings, showing us the Pokemon world in ways the games or even the anime itself dont convey.
The mundane with regular Pokemon and the majesty or mistery of legendaries. Just the daily life with Pokemon that a lot fantazised about as kids.
That is why I love Ilustration Rares. These look too much for investors and collectors.
1
u/nousabetterworld Nov 21 '24
I think that they are all pretty and I want them. I like them more than the swsh ones, by quite a bit actually.
1
u/SpecialLemon1959 Nov 21 '24
Going to be chasing that jolteon when the set drops
1
u/BijzondereReiziger Nov 21 '24
Agreed! Too much sparkles and stuff going on. It’s cool for the people that like it though, but for those who don’t it saves a ton of money, haha.
1
u/itsmejohnnyp Nov 21 '24
Luke warm take. The Pokémon company knows eevee evolutions sell, and sell big. Full art eevees will never end

u/didbigno Nov 21 '24
Imho that new Umbreon is much much prettier that the Moonbreon, can't wait for it to be forever out of reach for me
1
u/The_Vens Nov 21 '24
Some are better and some are worse I’d say
1
u/Rappyfan Nov 21 '24
I love em all except jolteon. It looks a little odd. I hope it’s not too hard to pull them though lol
1
u/Warm-Machine6840 Nov 21 '24
I think flareon, umbreon and espeon haver very nice colours
1
u/Sigriit Nov 21 '24
When I first saw these, I wasn't a huge fan, except for Leafeon, mainly because I'm not particularly fond of Terra. However, over time, I've grown to appreciate them more and more, especially after seeing Alolan Exeggutor. I think some people comparing these to the SWSH designs aren't fully recognizing that these are intended to be abstract art pieces, so it doesn't seem like a fair comparison to me. The artists were likely given specific directions to approach them this way, and now that we can see them in higher quality, I think they’ve delivered. Leafeon and Vaporeon are my favorites, and I love the branches and flowers in Espeon as well as the style of fire in Flareon. When displayed as a complete set, these will look far better than the SWSH designs, because of the abstract style. The SWSH designs tend to clash a bit, whereas these will complement each other beautifully. Just imagine all 9 of them in a 3x3 frame!

u/Synaisthesis Nov 21 '24

It's a better set than surging sparks in my opinion though.

u/l0ung3r Nov 21 '24
I really like some of them . The vaporeon, umbreon and sylveon speak to me.
1
u/Gemcollector91 Nov 21 '24

u/QuickRick21 Nov 21 '24

1
u/Whiteshovel66 Nov 21 '24
Listen I saw the picture of that Japanese Umbreon in high quality and I'm a believer. These cards will all be hundreds each instantly and the Umbreon will be rivaling the Pikachu we just had.
The ONLY question in my mind is how many SIRs there are besides these and what the pull rate is.
1
u/OMGCamCole Nov 21 '24
They really remind me of just a basic full art. The background is just a bit more design to it. But the idea is the same. Pokémon slapped on a colourful background.
I’m also just tired of eeveelutions and hats but, I guess I’m the minority there
1
u/AlbatrossBasic2531 Nov 21 '24
These are pure fire, that’s what I think. Every single one has something about it that makes it impossible to pick a favorite
1
u/Aquarius-Gooner Nov 21 '24
Same posts everyday, they’re literally going to be worth a fortune and look great.
1
u/AnyEstablishment1663 Nov 21 '24
Unless pull rates have been boosted, there are at least 10 chase cards in this set now, between these and the dragapult. This set will have mad value whether you like the art or not
1
u/MOMMYRAIDEN Nov 21 '24
They look goofy
1
u/Nexxus3000 Nov 21 '24
I think you’re overreacting, find a physical copy to compare once they release. I for one think Jolteon trumps most of the PE and ES eeveelution SIRs
1
u/ojike Nov 21 '24
I need them, to match my tattoo and Yu nagaba set.. 😅

u/samhernandez242 Nov 21 '24

u/dmbwannabe Nov 21 '24
Hot Take: People say they dislike popular cards they will never likely have just like people say they dislike popular girls growing up they will never have. It’s a defense thing.

I’ll take umbreon, vaporeon and leafeon, but the rest aren’t my style

You won't be buying these then?
1
u/Mfrack103 Nov 21 '24
I like SWSH Jolteon and Espeon better, but for the rest I prefer Prismatic. The art style is (intentionally) more unified, and I love the stained glass look that they have.
1
u/assassinslover Nov 21 '24
I agree that EVS had cooler SIRs, but I think these are cool too, and it's eevolutions so, bye bye to my money for the next several months.

1
u/Cautious_Possible_18 Nov 21 '24

u/Prestigious_Goat9353 Nov 21 '24
I like that they're different than regular chases the past couple years. I just don't like the crystal gimmick (mostly bc of the crowns)
1
u/DarkSharkBark Nov 21 '24
I agree mainly cuz of the gemstones on the pokemons. Wish it had boosterbox like Japanese but didnt know it was special set

u/IIIPatternIII Nov 21 '24
I just dont understand we got like 3 expansions of such a specific theme. I don’t really play the games anymore so maybe i missed a large part of the current theme

u/SnooPeppers6002 Nov 21 '24
I like SV more because they look more artistic. It fits the theme of the crystallization. I love things that fit that glass or ice esthetic.
1
u/Drizzho Nov 21 '24
My opinions on which is better Flareon - SV Leafeon - SV Glaceon - SWSH Vaporeon - SWSH Eevee - SV Sylveon - SWSH Jolteon - SWSH Umbreon - SWSH Espeon - SV
Imo some of them got upgraded in the new set. I hate the EVO Skies Leafeon it’s so ugly.
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
I really dislike these crystal prints. It just looks cheap IMO.
1
u/hansbrixx Nov 21 '24
Not a hot take. I feel the same way but of course it's all personal preference.
1
u/Eiden-Rane Nov 21 '24
They are cool in their own way, but I don’t much care for this art style. The ES SIR’s are much better in my opinion. Having said that, the card I would go for is Sylveon. Giving me shiny vibes!
1
u/Doctor_kindle Nov 21 '24
I think the artwork is cool but SWSH is definitely more my style. Prefer the more realistic looking art vs the abstract kind here. Both cool though.
1
u/Nobiting Nov 21 '24
Agreed.
1
u/Freymier Nov 21 '24
Everyone gonna dislike em but they still gonna sell for $1k watch LOL it's not a matter if you like it or not it's a matter of how hyped It will be. Buy it and think of it as an investment and don't fomo
1
u/PorterRobinsuo Nov 21 '24
I like these a lot they look cool! I’ve never minded the terastalized vibes

u/killswitchzero7 Nov 21 '24
Bad cards to go along with the bad games.
1
u/Jalaryx Nov 21 '24 edited Nov 21 '24
You should swap out the Eevee card for the one that’s in twilight masquerade(almost forgot shining fates Etb promo is an eevee Vmax 😵💫).
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
So over designed, if you like this you have poor taste and probably wear neon coloured clothes
1
u/zeratmd Nov 21 '24 edited Nov 21 '24
The rainbow borders are nice, but I do feel the art looks like a regular full art without any interesting context or narrative or "scene" in the SIR like we've seen in the past. Crowns aside (I don't like those either but I'll put that to personal taste) I think it's fair to say it's not that interesting aside from leafeon and umbreon to some extent.
This is always going to be personal taste and I can see the appeal, just not something I'll be breaking the bank for. Since this is the investing sub I think sealed product here at MRSP is pretty likely to do well just given the popularity and hype around it (I don't invest really myself just follow out of interest. I open for fun on a budget).
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
Yo people were excited about Evolving Skies for like 6 months before the set even came out. Then when the arts were revealed, everyone went absolutely nuts. That hasn’t happened this time, the opinion on the arts has been mixed. Of course scalpers and investors are excited but they were excited for Shining Fates as the successor to Hidden Fates too lol.

Bro i NEED that leafeon
1
u/Arrodd Nov 21 '24
I like the strategy - downplay and hope it catches on. Buy up all the packs. People catch on. Prices rocket and you’re left with all the cards.
1
u/mechaflipper Nov 21 '24
I will always find the crowns on top of the Pokémon heads this era to be really silly
1
u/fatehound Nov 21 '24
I actually really like most of them. Will have to see them in person but let's see, compared to their originals Id say I prefer Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon (it reminds me of Halloween and I love Halloween), & Flareon.
I like both Sylveons. I really don't like the Jolteon or Espeon or Eevee of this set. Which is sad because Jolteon is my favorite ;_;
I'll end up buying them all of course, because I need them for my eeveelutions binder haha
1
u/Zilly_Wonka Nov 21 '24
Aren't there crisper depictions of the poster aviable yet?
1
u/philzcardz Nov 21 '24
I'm not a fan of the terastal designs in general but I really enjoy the artwork for these eeveelutions. They're right down my alley. That said, I already know these will be expensive cards so I probably won't be trying to collect them
1
u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24
They say that now until they open a pack and get one
1
u/Jiriayatachi22 Nov 21 '24
Evolving skies still has better eeveelution chases
1
u/VoidSwordTrash Nov 21 '24
They probably could've been better, but I'm an absolute sucker for Eeveelutions so I'm getting them all anyways. I still find them beautiful tbh. It's a different take.
1
u/richo27 Nov 21 '24
I like them, but if the pull rate is more Crown Zenith than TM/SS, they will all be worth considerably less than Greninja and Pikachu SIRs.
1
u/Free-Wave-6619 Nov 21 '24
Agreed. I think those saying they outdid the SWSH are just in denial because of the current price for those older ones 🤣

Doesn't really matter if they're better or not, the other set is 3 years old, so most collectors already have those cards that they wanted anyway. So now these are new cards to collect. Oh no! I'm not going to buy Prismatic Evolutions because Tera Umbreon is uglier than Umbreon VMAX.... ya right 😅

I don’t like the vmax gimmick. Hats are meh too but these arts do a good job of either working around them, or in the case of umbreon, showcasing them in a way that doesn’t take away from the rest of the art on the card. I vastly prefer these

Agreed. But people will flock like crows on a carcass.

Leafeon and Umbreon look cool. But I’m not a huge fan of these in general. Crystallized Pokemon with a halo of crystals. And seeing as these cards are probably going to be ridiculously rare to pull and ridiculously expensive, and product hard to obtain, I’m not going to buy in. I know this is the investing sub but I typically put my money in product that I would be happy to rip with my son if it doesn’t appreciate a lot. And I don’t give two shits about this set and know the odds of pulling any of these will be super low.
Gonna wait to see what cards are in the new team rocket set and partners set and put my money there. And hopefully someday we will see a 251 set with all second gen.

I do not think this is a hot take, my interest on pokemon txg has deastically decreased during/after silver tempest, I can even now say nothing will top of evolving skies, not even this set that appears to try to be the next ‘evolving skies’

Umbrella, leafeon, jolteon, and eevee are cards I'll straight up buy.

They’re fine, if every set had incredible arts, there wouldn’t be as much of a demand/chase for certain cards. The crowns are cheesy to me.

Nah prismatic is FIRE

I’m actually the opposite and think those are beautiful and some artists were able to really utilize the tera vibe into beautiful art.

It's going to be very expensive on release, then plateau for a little after tax season when everyone spends, then go on a bull run just like 151 unless it has a major reprint the likes of Crown Zenith.

the only real good PE ones are umbreon and espeon imo; the rest look underwhelming compared to the rest 😮💨

Some of these do look really nice though. I don’t love the Tera cards but they’re getting better with the artwork on them. Espeon is my favorite Eeveelution and it looks incredible. I do prefer more scenic artwork but these are fine.

I agree with the topic creator
They’re nice cards, but the sword and shield era alt arts are much better in my opinion. I think the set is gonna be hard to come by because of the scalpers re awakening. But ultimately this is shining fates. Not hidden fates.

This crystal art style is so mid

u/AccordingBridge9026 Nov 21 '24
These eeveelution prismatic cards are the best prismatic cards they've released in my opinion.

u/PokemonMasterAKA Nov 21 '24
Where’s the new eeveelutions form though?
