Glaceon VMAX · Evolving Skies, what to know.
About the Glaceon VMAX card
Numbered 208 of 237 in Evolving Skies, released in August 2021, Glaceon VMAX is a Rare Rainbow, a Basic Water-type carrying 310 HP.
It evolves from Glaceon V, so Glaceon VMAX is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Glaceon VMAX worth?
Glaceon VMAX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Evolving Skies holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Glaceon VMAX before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Glaceon VMAX, surface is the grade cap. The water foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
If you are collecting Glaceon VMAX
When you go to buy Glaceon VMAX, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Glaceon VMAX, so price the specific copy in front of you.
