Jolteon sits seventh in the Eevee family by ceiling, and it is the first of the three original evolutions to appear in that order. Nineteen of its twenty-four Chinese cards carry a price, and two of those nineteen clear $100.
What makes the ranking unusual is the shape rather than the level. Between the second card at $103 and the third at $52 there is nothing at all — no Jolteon in the Chinese-only sets trades for between $60 and $100. And the card at the top gets there almost entirely through grading: a stamped Gem Pack foil that sells raw for $3.04 and in a PSA 10 holder for $188.
How this list was built
Three rules, applied in this order.
- The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CBB2C, CS4aC, 151C, CSV9.5C. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
- The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Twenty-four Jolteon cards exist across these sets and nineteen of them have a PSA 10 price on record. The five that do not are recent enough that graded copies have not changed hands yet, and a card with no price cannot be ranked. Two of the five are the reverse and Master Ball versions of the Collect 151 printing; the other three are Grand Terastal Gathering prints.
- The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.
One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Jolteon exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.
The ten, ranked
10. Jolteon [Stars] #306 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $38
Raw $1.75 · grade 9 $12.59
A Stars foil from Gem Pack Vol. 2, and the tenth card here at $38. Twenty-one times its raw price in a PSA 10 holder. Note the gap between the two grades on this one: raw $1.75, grade 9 $12.59 — the mid grade is worth seven times the raw card, and the top grade is worth another three times that.
9. Jolteon [Poké Ball] #304 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $38
Raw $1.83 · grade 9 $12.71
The Poké Ball foil of the Vol. 2 group, one dollar above the Stars foil below it. Every card from here to number six is a Vol. 2 treatment sitting within three dollars of its neighbour — a run of near-identical prices that only breaks when the CS4aC V cards begin.
8. Jolteon #302 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $38
Raw $1.85 · grade 9 $12.72
The base foil of the Jolteon group, without a ball pattern or a stamp. It is the lowest-numbered Jolteon card in the language, and it is tracked within a dollar of the six treatments printed around it.
7. Jolteon [Stars] #305 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $39
Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $6.00
The first Stars foil in the Vol. 2 run, and the one card in the lower half where the grade 9 record is thin: at $6.00 it sits far below its own raw price. That happens where few copies have been submitted in that grade band, and it is not a statement that the card is worth less in a holder.
6. Jolteon V #313 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $39
Raw $2.11 · grade 9 $13.14
The only V-tier card in the Vol. 2 group, and the highest-numbered of the fourteen Jolteon cards that volume contributes. It is also the last card in this top ten under $40.
5. Jolteon [Rotary] #308 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $39
Raw $2.19 · grade 9 $13.15
A rotary-pattern foil, and the point where the Vol. 2 run stops being flat: everything above it is either a CS4aC card or the top of the Gem Pack ladder.
4. Jolteon [Stamped] #311 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $42
Raw $2.70 · grade 9 $14.00
The lower of the two stamped Jolteon foils in Vol. 2, and the first card here above $40. Its companion at #312 is the most valuable Jolteon in the language, which means the pair are separated by $146 in a PSA 10 holder while their raw prices differ by thirty-four cents.
3. Jolteon V — CS4aC #143 — $52
Raw $5.94 · grade 9 $19.55
The lower of the two CS4aC V cards. It is the third card in this ranking and the cut point of the list: everything below it is a Vol. 2 foil under $42, and everything above it clears $100. There is no Jolteon in the language priced between this card and the one above it.
2. Jolteon V — CS4aC #144 — $103
Raw $35.00 · grade 9 $26.69
The stronger of the two CS4aC V cards, at nearly twice the card below it. Raw copies are tracked above grade 9 here — $35.00 against $26.69 — and it is the one card in this top ten that is expensive before it is graded at all. Grade 9 adds nothing to it on paper; the entire step from raw to the top grade is $68.
1. Jolteon [Stamped] #312 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $188
Raw $3.04 · grade 9 $29.44
The most valuable Jolteon in the Chinese-only sets, and the steepest multiple we have measured on any card in the Eevee family: three dollars raw against $188 in a PSA 10 holder, sixty-two times over. It holds 22.0% of the value of every priced Jolteon card on its own — from a stamped foil in a mini-set, sitting above both main-set V cards.
What the ranking shows
Jolteon’s value is concentrated in two cards and spread thinly through everything else. Thirteen of the nineteen priced cards sit between $30 and $60, and the two cards above $100 hold 34.0% of the total.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Above $100 — ranked 1 to 2 | 2 | $290 | 34.0% |
| $30 – $60 — ranked 3 to 15 | 13 | $497 | 58.2% |
| Under $30 — ranked 16 to 19 | 4 | $67 | 7.8% |
| Every priced Jolteon card | 19 | $854 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
The $60 to $100 band is empty. The second card is $103 and the third is $52; nothing in between. A character whose ten most valuable cards include a jump that size is one where a single card’s grading outcome sets the shape of the whole ranking — if the stamped foil at number one graded differently, half of this list’s top would move with it.
Gem Pack Vol. 2 carries three quarters of the value on a little over half the cards. The volume contributes fourteen of the twenty-four Jolteon cards and $647 of the $854 total, or 75.8%. CS4aC contributes four cards and $187. That is the highest concentration on the Gem Pack side of any character we have measured, and it is driven entirely by one card: the stamped foil at number one. The volume-by-volume guide sets out the Gem Pack structure.
Where Jolteon is printed
| Product | Set code | Jolteon cards |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Pack Vol. 2 | CBB2C | 14 |
| CS4aC | CS4aC | 4 |
| Collect 151 | 151C | 3 |
| Grand Terastal Gathering | CSV9.5C | 3 |
| Total | 24 |
That table is worth reading beside the same table for the later evolutions. Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon are the three original evolutions, and they are the only forms in the family that appear in Collect 151 — a set built around the first 151 Pokémon. None of Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon or Sylveon appears in it, because none of them is a first-generation Pokémon. The three originals are also the only forms whose print structure is identical to one another: twenty-four cards each, split fourteen, four, three and three across the same four products.
The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack prints each Pokémon in a group as a ladder of treatments — a Poké Ball foil, a Master Ball foil, a stars pattern, a rotary pattern, a stamped version, and the V card at the top — so a single Jolteon group contributes fourteen separate cards to that total while only one of them is a chase.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: the stamped Vol. 2 foil, CBB2C 312, at $188. It is the highest tracked Jolteon in the language, and the gap between its raw price and its graded price is the widest in the family.
- One card that carries its own weight: the CS4aC V card at #144, at $103. It is the only card in this top ten that is already expensive raw, at $35.00, so most of its price does not depend on a grading outcome.
- The whole character in one product: a copy of Gem Pack Vol. 2. It carries fourteen of the twenty-four Jolteon cards and three quarters of the character’s value on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Which Jolteon card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?
The stamped Jolteon foil from Gem Pack Vol. 2 — CBB2C 312 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value among Jolteon cards in Chinese-only numbered sets, at $188. It is the only Jolteon card in the language above $103. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.
Are these cards Simplified Chinese exclusives?
No. Every card on this list is printed under a Chinese-only set code, but the Pokémon and the card design also appeared in other languages. “Chinese-only” describes the print run, not the artwork. Jolteon is not among the four commissioned Collect 151 art rares — those four are Pikachu — so nothing in this ranking is exclusive to the Chinese line.
Why does Jolteon have such a wide gap between the second and third cards?
Because the two cards above the gap are different kinds of card. Number one is a stamped foil whose raw price is $3.04 and whose graded price is $188 — almost all of its value comes from the holder. Number two is a CS4aC V card that is already tracked at $35.00 raw. Below those two, the next seventeen cards are Vol. 2 foils or low-tier printings in the $30 to $60 band, so the ranking has no middle: it steps from $103 straight down to $52.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
On this list, every card is worth more in a PSA 10 than raw, and the multiples are unusually steep because so many Jolteon cards start raw at under three dollars. The median raw-to-PSA-10 multiple across the nineteen priced cards is 17.9. The multiple narrows sharply at the top of the CS4aC ladder, where the card at number two is tracked above its own grade 9 price. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
How does Jolteon compare with the rest of the Eevee family?
Jolteon’s combined $854 places it seventh of the nine forms, below Glaceon at $1,109 and far below Umbreon at $5,382. Its ceiling of $188 is also seventh: it is the highest of the three original evolutions and the lowest of the six that came later. Vaporeon and Flareon sit directly beneath it with ceilings of $94 and $89.
Other cards in the family
Jolteon is one of nine evolution forms, and each has its own ranking on this site: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon and Glaceon are published, along with Vaporeon and Flareon. For characters outside the Eevee line, Pikachu, Charizard and Psyduck are ranked separately. If you are looking at the whole market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.
