Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182 - SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards (SWSD) Pokemon
The Vaporeon VMAX – SWSH182 is one of the most coveted Eeveelution cards of the entire Sword & Shield era — a Full Art Holo promo exclusive to the Vaporeon VMAX Premium Collection, released in December 2021 as part of a trio of Eeveelution sets that immediately captured collector attention. Vaporeon is Pokémon #134, one of the original eight Eeveelutions and a perennial fan favorite, and this VMAX iteration gave it a showcase-worthy full-art treatment it had never received at retail scale before.
- Set & origin: Sword & Shield Black Star Promos (SWSH182) — a premium collection exclusive, not pulled from booster packs.
- Card specs: Water-type VMAX with a massive 320 HP. Bubble Pod recovers a Water Pokémon from the discard pile and reattaches up to three Water Energy; Max Torrent hits for 200+ damage against already-damaged Active Pokémon.
- Finish: Full Art Holo — bold, detailed artwork by Atsushi Furusawa that pops under any light.
- Market: Raw Near Mint copies have traded around the $75–$90 range, with PSA 9 slabs moving at $125+ and PSA 10 examples commanding a premium above that.
Vaporeon's crossover appeal — beloved in the games, the anime, and the wider Pokémon fandom — keeps demand for this card consistently strong. As a promo-exclusive Full Art, supply is structurally limited; you won't find it hiding in a booster box. If you're building an Eeveelution master set or simply want the definitive Vaporeon VMAX card in your PC, SWSH182 is the one to own.
Available at Collector Station, Easley, SC. Local pickup available. All sales final. Shipping damage must be reported within 48 hours of delivery with photos.
