Espeon GX (Secret) - SM Base Set (SM01) (Lightly - Moderately Played)

Espeon GX – Secret Rare (152/149) | Sun & Moon Base Set (SM01) | Lightly–Moderately Played

This is the Rainbow Rare / Secret Rare Espeon GX #152/149 from the Sun & Moon Base Set — one of the most sought-after Pokémon TCG cards from the SM era. Released February 3, 2017, SM01 was the set that launched Pokémon-GX into the TCG, replacing the EX mechanic entirely. GX cards introduced a powerful once-per-game GX attack that created dramatic win-or-lose moments in competitive play — and Espeon GX was one of the defining examples.

The set's premium collecting hierarchy centers on the Eeveelution GX pairing: Umbreon-GX and Espeon-GX received both Full Art and Secret Rare treatments, creating a four-card chase tier that Eeveelution collectors target across sets. Espeon-GX and Umbreon-GX dominate the chase hierarchy, with the Espeon-GX Secret Rare carrying a market comp range of $35–$55.

• Card: Espeon GX | #152 | Secret Rare | Psychic-type | 200 HP | Stage 1
• Attacks: Psybeam (30 + Confuse), Psychic (60+), and the signature Division GX — place 10 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like
• Set: SM01 debuted the new card border design that defined the entire Sun & Moon aesthetic through 2019, launching the Alola generation into the TCG
• Condition: Lightly–Moderately Played — SM-era GX textured surfaces show handling marks more visibly than smooth holo cards, so LP–MP copies represent honest, fairly graded raw value

Eeveelution cards are among the most reliable value-holders across all Pokémon sets. Sun & Moon Base Set collecting in 2026 occupies a compelling middle ground — the cards are nine years old, meaning NM copies aren't everywhere, but recent enough that the collector base understands condition standards. A Rainbow Secret Rare Espeon GX in any playable condition is a genuine piece of SM history — grab it before the next wave of nostalgia drives prices further.
