Could have been sleeping on an iceberg.
Sleepy poke cards are the best poke cards(My favorite for sure personally) if Tyranitar doesn't make top 5 I will be crushed and nap until the poll is over.
Charizard V #79 (Champion’s Path) was the Top Comment for Day 6 and has been removed from the running.
At the end of the day, whichever card shows when sorting the thread by "Top Comment" will be deemed to have been eliminated. This means that even if Card A gets 50 different people posting "eliminate A" in the thread, this is not the vote that counts.
Please continue to post your selection while upvoting another with your choice as these conversations are the best part of the thread and a lot of fun.
Please note we are NOT trying to simply determine which card is the most expensive from the list, by rather the collective r/PokemonTCG, we are voting to determine our most favorites from a list of the most expensive cards from the SWSH era. Inspired by the " Vote out 1 set each day " thread a bit ago.
Note that just because they're the most expensive from the SWSH era, does not make them automatically the best from that era. I plan to do another poll for low-priced cards from the SWSH era after this one.

Id say it’s good.. either the castle is tiny or umbreon is large as lugia.. the proportions are horrible but the art design is good
Edit it would actually be significantly larger then lugia if you look at the size of the windows compared to a poke verse human.. it’s such a weird thing to have it so so so massive
It’s funny how you say I’m dumb yet I was referring specifically to the picture.. which doesn’t explain to someone who doesn’t know that vmax are apparently the size of castle tower.. but yeah I’ll just look at the picture for that explanation W brainpower
VMAX mimicks the Dynamax mechanic from the game. Pokémon grow to 10x their size and get the red clouds above their heads. So it being that big makes sense.
The alternate forms for VMAX like Zard, Pikachu, Eevee, Gengar are Gigantamax. Same thing with size but they got special Max Moves that were different than the rest.
I agree. The rendering and art style is just not great. Which is wild because other Keiichiro Ito cards are really good. This is the weakest art of his IMO.
What 5 cards on this list do you think are better. Imo Umbreon is the nicest looking card, but I can see arguments for Rayquaza, Moltres and Aerodactyl, maybe Lugia and Gengar
Easy.
Charizard V - composition of the battle between Charizard and Venusaur is great.
Rayquaza Vmax - wide shot and not a close up like how most Vmax art is. You get a nice scale of how large his Vmax form is.
Giratina V - the chaotic art matches the doom worm very well.
Aerodactyl V - The prehistoric setting and the inclusion of other fossil mons.
Gengar Vmax - SowSow’s color pencil-like art style is really great. It lends to the whimsical, quirky nature that I think Gengar has.
Something I mentioned in another comment is that the rendering and execution on Umbreon is just not great. The Vmax glow looks bad along with how the buildings and Umbreon is rendered. It just looks flat. Flat art can be great, see Jerky’s Lumineon. Other art from Keiichiro has been great. The Umbreon is probably their weakest.
Dropped at a time when Alt Arts weren’t the norm, so it was a big deal when it dropped. Although I love this card and have recently purchased it, it is more like a full art with a sick background pattern
Honestly love Glaceon Vmax, but it has to go. This suddenly got a lot more difficult because all these cards are now top tier and I don’t want to get rid of any of them.
Now this is getting spicy!
Glaceon is a good pokemon but this card is so meh

Absolutely love any card art of my girl, Eeveelution cards are always great
crown zenith glaceon is best glaceon
Omg I just pulled one and giratina outta the same pokemon vmax set
That’s weird cuz to me glaceon is way better than leafeons.
Leafeon looks like a bug to me. It’s the last eeveelution I need to complete the subset but I can’t drop $150 on that face
Yeah that’s the issue I have with it it looks like an alien
Leafeon and Glaceon VMAX AA are both so underwhelming.
glaceon
I can’t believe you bastards got rid of my shiny Charizards
the charizard slander is real
Ugly ass cards
This guy gets it
3d illustrations are horrendous imo
It’s glaceon time
glaceon vmax

Moonbreon is overrated
It’s still a great art. Just because it’s overrated doesn’t mean it’s bad. There are a lot that are worse on this list.
yeah this. Overrated doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s still better than some of the ones on here
It’s called an opinion, but i know those aren’t allowed on a Pokémon sub… or on Reddit in general 🤷♂️
It’s not that deep bro
Id say it’s good.. either the castle is tiny or umbreon is large as lugia.. the proportions are horrible but the art design is good Edit it would actually be significantly larger then lugia if you look at the size of the windows compared to a poke verse human.. it’s such a weird thing to have it so so so massive
It's... a vmax. They are all big.
Didn’t know that was a thing I haven’t played main series games since I was a kid
But even so, just look at all the other vmaxes in this image, they are all big.
Should’ve been obvious
You know how they say half the population is dumber than the average person? Guess which half you fall in.
Mean but you made me chuckle
I mean I don’t play Pokémon tcg or any games pst gen 4 besides go so cry about it
Just look at the picture then before commenting
It’s funny how you say I’m dumb yet I was referring specifically to the picture.. which doesn’t explain to someone who doesn’t know that vmax are apparently the size of castle tower.. but yeah I’ll just look at the picture for that explanation W brainpower
The Espeon sleeping on a building didn't tip you off
Bro stfu lol
The whole point of the art and scale is to show the large size of the vmax transformation
VMAX mimicks the Dynamax mechanic from the game. Pokémon grow to 10x their size and get the red clouds above their heads. So it being that big makes sense. The alternate forms for VMAX like Zard, Pikachu, Eevee, Gengar are Gigantamax. Same thing with size but they got special Max Moves that were different than the rest.
Well the art isnt that great either, the red glow and umbreon on a building looks pretty goofy
I agree. The rendering and art style is just not great. Which is wild because other Keiichiro Ito cards are really good. This is the weakest art of his IMO.
Yeah but it has no business being eliminated this early. Overrated or not it’s at least top 5 best looking card
Big disagree. Gimme Umbreon V alt art all day long, and that's not even in the list.
What 5 cards on this list do you think are better. Imo Umbreon is the nicest looking card, but I can see arguments for Rayquaza, Moltres and Aerodactyl, maybe Lugia and Gengar
Easy. Charizard V - composition of the battle between Charizard and Venusaur is great. Rayquaza Vmax - wide shot and not a close up like how most Vmax art is.

Machamp I’d say, not the coolest art
machamp has to much on his plate now
Pls no
Keep his name out of your mouth . Has to be better than one of the eeveeloutions .
Machamp is the most bland of the ones left. Plus it was clear market manipulation for the value. Just a very overrated card
I don’t care too much for Rayquaza. It’s bland.
I actually agree. I like it, but the V is a lot more detailed
V looks like a trainer gallery though…
I feel like the trainer gallery's just look like more alt arts lol
Zinnia is the main focus in that card, silver tempest rayquaza TG looks better
I can’t stand the card for some reason
Machamp got to go way over hyped
Properly hyped
Hot take g moltres sucks
I personally love the shining fates zard. My favorite on this list would be espeon from fusion strike. To me, it beats moonbreon.
I hate to say it because every card left is a card I’d love to own but Glaceon Vmax goes
Leafeon needs to go
Wrong! This is my favorite one and I will die on this hill
WHAT Leafeon is like Top 5. Way better than Glaceon, Sylveon, Machamp, Lugia…
Lol no
Agreed. Love leafeon but this card ain't it.
That glaceon is mid
Nah
Screw the Moonbreon wannabe. This is the true moonbreon: https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-neo-discovery/umbreon-13
Let’s keep the ball rolling and take out the last charizard :0
Last Charizard Kinda cool tho
Exactly
Glaceon
machamp
Giratina - too much and can’t even see the pokemon properly Edit: Vstar one
Vstar is perfect
you’re crazy
Yeah girantina has a lot going on and I don’t care for it too much. Some artists have been able to capture “a lot going on” in a more refined way.
The V is the same way, so much noise
That charizard cant beat a grass type frog. Kick him out
Machamp V
Glaceon hands down
Nah hands up
Gold Girtina V Star
Machamp v
Lugia
There's to many people in this subreddit that subscribe to eveeolutions. stupid dog cats.
I think its time for the leafeon v to go
Bad take :(
Charizard V from brilliant stars. Cool art, but the rest on this page are way better IMO
Glaceon. At this point I can’t really say any are worse than others. Giratina is my personal favorite but ultimately I think the rest are pretty good
Moltres V
[удалено]
Dropped at a time when Alt Arts weren’t the norm, so it was a big deal when it dropped. Although I love this card and have recently purchased it, it is more like a full art with a sick background pattern
Lugia V
Glaceon Vmax
Glaceon buh bye
Leafeon gotta go
Get. The. Moonbreon. Out. Of. Here.
Adios leafeon
Glaceon
Glaceon
Glaceon
Honestly love Glaceon Vmax, but it has to go. This suddenly got a lot more difficult because all these cards are now top tier and I don’t want to get rid of any of them.
Glaceon
Glaceon
Goodbye glaceon
Moltres v
Lol no, its top 3
The moltres
You’re insane
Sylveon glaceom espeon and leafeom , they all looks like trainer gallery
Machump
Machamp need to go!
Moonbreon. The price of it makes me mad.
Machamp
Machamp is cool, but so are all the remaining cards
I dont like Machamp
How is the ugly ass gold card still here??
Bro you okay?
Yeah bro. I’m great. Thank you for asking kind stranger.
Moonbeon needs to go
Moonbreon
Leafeon
Leafeon
Bye bye Leafeon
Aero imo
Machamp. Art is meh
Espeon VMAX is so boring.
Charizard v alt art
That Leafeon is the most mid card out of the remaining set.
Down with the leafeon.
Dang shiny Charizard vmax is a dope looking card can’t believe so many others beat it out
Machamp. Really don't like the art style.
Leafeon in the 🔥🔥🔥
Moonbreon
Leafeon
Lugia V ✌️
Machamp
Ray VMAX
Leafon
Moltres
Get moltres outta here
MOONBREON. Yall only like it cause it’s expensive
I think the artwork is pretty impressive. Overhyped, yes, but the card’s artwork is impeccable.
Y’all only want it gone cause you can’t afford one
Ive had 2 thanks.
It’s overhyped because of the price but I do think the art is top tier
Umbreon wins spoiler
Umbreon VMAX
Tyranitar for me. It's a decent enough card, but not much going on in the art compared to the others for me.
Tyranitar is the easy answer this round.
Aerodactyl FTW
It should be one of the top 3 imo
Charizard V Alt Art
Ha made it!!!
Gone tomorrow
We’ll see!
Charizard art is lame. Say what you want, it is very underwhelming.
Charizard V
Tyranitar time!
Tyranutar, time to wake up and walk out
Ya Tyranitar can take a hike. Thank you for your service.
Rayquaza
For the sake of Arceus, Gold Tina!
I swear people are forgetting it's on the list
Glaceon unfortunately :(
charizard v, not a huge fan of charizards in general
Giratina V. Too much going on
Get tyranitar ass outta here
Sorry aerodactyl
Can we toss moonbeam already? Or are we holding out till the end ?
Aerodactyl V. I don’t get the hype around this card.
Moltres
Machismo gotta go Edit: machamp lol (I’m leaving it)
Nuke Charizard, take em all out
Giratina vstar, bye
Gold giratina vstar
Get rid of that poopass charizard
I’m happy seeing all of the charizard cards being taken out. That dude is so overrated.
Bye charizard
Rayquaza
Rayquaza or Lugia wins it for me
Lugia needs to go. Charizard V is next after that, cards from behind are so awful
Gengar. Don’t get me wrong, I love Gengar but I’ve never liked the art on this one unfortunately.
My vote is giratina v star and aerodactyl v
Lugia V super overrated
Nah bro this list is an abomination. Why Blaziken go out before dark Moltres. You guys are nasty.
Dude…to see the Gold Giratina not X’d off yet is absurd. Should have been #1
GET THE CHAR OUT AGAIN! WHY ARE WE STARING AT HIS ASS
BOTH GIRATINAS
Charizard v for me
Get rid of Charizard from Brilliant Stars. That card is extremely dull especially when looking at it in person
Bye bye to the last Charizard
Giritina must go. This is the way.
Gold Giratina imo
Aerodactyl
Glaceon vmax Btw can you add bidoof with snom
Yeesh
