Jolteon VMAX 51/203 · Evolving Skies

Jolteon is Pokédex #135, generation 1 (Kanto). Jolteon VMAX is a VMAX Lightning Pokémon with 300 HP. The card says it evolves from Jolteon V. In this catalog that name is Jolteon (#135).

Jolteon VMAX sits at 51/203 in Evolving Skies, position 51 of 237. Before it is 50 Raichu, and after it is 52 Chinchou. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on 27 August 2021. The printed size is 203. This checklist is longer, at 237 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo VMAX.

The attack Max Thunder Rumble lists 100 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. This attack also does 100 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. The card text says: VMAX rule: When your Pokémon VMAX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards. The regulation mark is E.

Jolteon (#135) has 38 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Jolteon 4/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Jolteon, while this one is Jolteon VMAX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 300 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo VMAX. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 37 other cards of Jolteon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Evolving Skies set binder is where a full Evolving Skies set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Jolteon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions and VMAX cards. I still need this card.
