Flareon ex - 202/187 - SV8a: Terastal Fest ex (SV8a) Japanese Pokemon
Flareon ex – 202/187 | Special Art Rare | Japanese SV8a: Terastal Fest ex
This is the Special Art Rare version of Flareon ex — numbered 202/187, placing it firmly in the secret rare tier beyond the main 187-card checklist. SAR cards carry premium full-card artwork with textured holographic foiling, and this one wraps Flareon in the crystalline Terastal aesthetic that defines the entire SV8a set. Illustrated by 5ban Graphics, it packs 270 HP as a Stage 1 Pokémon ex — a formidable printed stat on an already visually dominant card.
SV8a: Terastal Fest ex is the Japanese original of what became Prismatic Evolutions in English — the Eeveelution set collectors have obsessed over since its December 6, 2024 release. Every booster box guarantees one SAR, and the set features all nine Eeveelution SAR pulls, making Flareon ex one of nine chase slots in one of the most collector-focused High Class Packs of the Scarlet & Violet era. Japanese prints carry the added advantage of sharper print quality and textured holofoil not found in the English adaptation.

Flareon is among the most beloved Eeveelutions, and the SAR treatment in SV8a is the definitive modern version of the character in the Pokémon TCG. With the English Prismatic Evolutions print remaining supply-constrained and demand for the full Eeveelution SAR set at a sustained high, the Japanese original continues to hold strong secondary market support. If you're building a complete Eeveelution display or chasing the flagship SAR from the best Japanese set of the Scarlet & Violet era — this is the one.
