Espeon · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Espeon card
Numbered 86 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Espeon is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 110 HP.
It evolves from Eevee, so Espeon is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Cona Nitanda.
Espeon carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The tip of its forked tail quivers when it is predicting its opponent's next move."
