About This Card

The Flareon from Simplified Chinese Gem Pack Volume 2 is a genuinely unique piece of the modern Pokémon TCG — one that sits entirely outside the standard international release structure and offers collectors something that simply cannot be found in English or Japanese product. The Gem Pack concept is exclusive to the Simplified Chinese market, featuring specialized promotional bundles built around tight, curated mini-master collections rather than the sprawling checklists of standard expansions. Volume 2 centers heavily on the Eeveelution family, making it a natural destination for Flareon collectors and Eeveelution enthusiasts building comprehensive variant binder pages.

This #0401/14 version is the clean Reverse Holo base print of the Flareon mini-subset — the visual anchor of the 14-card line, and the essential starting point for collectors chasing the full parallel run. The set includes increasingly complex holographic treatments as the numbering progresses, including the Star Pattern (#0405), Rotary Holo (#0407), and Stamped (#0411) variants, making this base Holo Rare the foundation piece that every complete Gem Pack Volume 2 Flareon collection begins with. The high-gloss Chinese mirror foil finish applied across the card frame is a premium, market-specific treatment that gives this card a distinct visual identity compared to standard international holofoil prints.

This copy has been professionally graded by CGC and awarded a grade of 9 — Mint, reflecting a card with strong eye appeal, well-centered artwork, clean surfaces, and sharp corners with only the most minor allowable imperfections. For a regionally exclusive Chinese print that is difficult to source internationally in any condition, a CGC 9 represents an exceptional copy and commands a meaningful premium over raw examples in the market.
