About This Card

This is the Ultra Rare GX printing of Sylveon GX from Sun & Moon: Guardians Rising, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Sylveon is one of the most popular Eeveelutions in the franchise, giving this card a reliable and enduring baseline of collector demand — Eeveelution Ultra Rares consistently hold their value better than generic set ultra-rares over time. This card also represents a distinct piece of TCG history: it hails from the era before the Fairy type was officially retired and absorbed into the Psychic type, making its striking pink card face and layout a nostalgic artifact for newer collectors. During its competitive prime, Sylveon GX was the centerpiece of the legendary “Sylveon Control” deck archetype — its Magical Ribbon attack allowed players to tutor any 3 cards from their deck seamlessly, making it a foundational strategy piece still celebrated in retro-format play.

Why This Card?

• Eeveelution Collector Premium: Sylveon is one of the most beloved Eevee evolutions in the franchise. Eeveelution Ultra Rares hold their value more reliably than generic set ultra-rares, driven by consistent character collector demand.
• Historic Fairy Type: From the era before Fairy type was retired from the TCG, this card’s striking pink face and GX blue/silver border layout make it a distinct and nostalgic piece of TCG history — especially appealing to newer collectors discovering the older format.
• Legendary Control Archetype: Magical Ribbon’s ability to tutor any 3 cards from the deck made Sylveon GX the engine of one of the most disruptive control decks in Sun & Moon era competitive play — still celebrated by retro-format players today.
• Raw & Gradeable: This card is ungraded. Sun & Moon era GX cards are prone to soft yellow back edge whitening if stored without sleeves — inspect back corners closely and check the front gloss for fine light scratching or scuffs from storage.
