Why This Card Is Famous — The Birth of 'Sunbreon'
The 2021 Evolving Skies Umbreon VMAX Alt Art, nicknamed 'Moonbreon,' is one of the most iconic Pokémon TCG cards ever — PSA 10 copies have sold for $15,000–$25,000. The 2025 Prismatic Evolutions Umbreon ex SIR shows Umbreon in daylight instead of moonlight, earning the 'Sunbreon' nickname. It immediately captured collectors' attention as the spiritual successor to Moonbreon.
