Some of the most coveted Pok\u00e9mon TCG cards ever have been a specific type of Hyper Rare (HR) card known as “Rainbow Rares”. One glance at a Rainbow Rare makes it obvious how that nickname was acquired\u2014the card’s illustration is completely covered in rainbow-colored hues that even supersede the color palette of the featured Pok\u00e9mon. The Umbreon & Darkrai GX card from Tag All Stars [SM12a] has emerged as one of the Rainbow Rares that’s recently been in much demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to note is the fact that the card features Umbreon. Even though all eight Eeveelutions are highly popular among the Pok\u00e9mon fanbase as a whole, the Dark-type Eeveelution is arguably the biggest fan favorite of them all. Darkrai, meanwhile, also carries much fan appeal\u2014in part due to its status as a Mythical Pok\u00e9mon and the lore that surrounds it; in part due to its roles in the Pok\u00e9mon anime movie The Rise of Darkrai<\/em> as well as the spin-off video game Pok\u00e9mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the popularity of the two Pok\u00e9mon shown on the card, there’s also an additional aesthetic and narrative element in play. Umbreon and Darkrai are positioned in such a way to imply an “apprentice and master” dynamic\u2014fitting as they’re both Dark-types with close canonical links to the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is an English version of an Umbreon & Darkrai GX card, it isn’t the Rainbow Rare version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest prices place an Umbreon & Darkrai GX (Tag All Stars [S12a] 215\/173) Rainbow Rare card at 25,000 JPY (~US$162).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
