Umbreon · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Umbreon card
Numbered 41 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Umbreon is a Rare, a Stage 1 Darkness-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Eevee, so Umbreon is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.
About Umbreon in the Pokémon world
The Dark Eeveelution. Black silhouette with yellow rings. The undisputed favorite Eeveelution. Across every era, Umbreon cards command the highest collector demand of any Eeveelution.

What is Umbreon worth?
Umbreon is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Umbreon trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Umbreon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Umbreon grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Umbreon is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Umbreon
For Umbreon, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Umbreon can make sense.
