Pokemon TCG Pocketplayers have had a couple of weeks to collect cards from the game’s new Eevee Grove booster pack. That means a fair few of you will already have found Eevee’s new illustration rare and added it to your collections. However, when you found it, did you notice that its artwork has subtle references to all eight of Eevee’s evolved forms in its artwork?
The card’s art shows an adorable Eevee trotting through a meadow, admiring the flowers as it goes. All of the flowers the Eevee is passing are different colors, and that’s seemingly not something that was done at random to make the card look pretty, although it certainly helps. Each color is a reference to each Eeveelution.
There’s More To Pokemon Pocket’s New Eevee Card Than Meets The Eye
References To Every Eeveelution Are Hidden In There Somewhere
If you start from the top left of the card, you’ll find black berries that represent Umbreon. Move around the Eevee in the center in a clockwise direction, and you’ll find some pale pink flowers for Espeon, and then some light blue flowers underneath them for Glaceon. The leaves you’ll find as we move on around represent Leafeon, the red flowers after that are Flareon, and then the yellow dandelion flowers at the bottom of the card are Jolteon.
That just leaves Vaporeon, whose blue flowers are in the bottom right corner of the card’s art, and then last but not least, there’s Sylveon, whose flowers can be found on the left before you return to Umbreon’s berries. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a reference to a hidden ninth evolution in there somewhere, something fans thought they spotted in some hot air balloon artwork Pokemon shared earlier this year.
This isn’t the first time some Pocket card art has been filled with easter eggs for collectors to find. A Ditto card that was part of the game’s first sethas multiple Ditto disguised as other Pokemon hidden throughout its artwork. While there’s nothing hidden, at least nothing we’ve noticed, Eevee Grove’s new Umbreon illustration rare has caused a stiras it’s clearly an homage to the real Pokemon TCG’s very sought-after and expensive Moonbreon card.
Eevee and its Eeveelutions getting their own Pocket booster pack is a continuation of Pokemon’s Year of Eevee celebrations.All eight of its evolved forms have been added to Pokemon’s life-size plush collectionto celebrate, andpre-orders for the final three are still availablefor a limited time.
