The lovable Eevee is a cute and cuddly friend that rivals even that of Pikachu for being one of the most beloved of creatures in the Pokémon universe, even before it evolves into its many different forms to cover the gambit of power types in the game. In Pokémon TCG: Twilight Masquerade, the fluffy friend is shown in a full-card illustration that has eight Eevee's soaking up some sunshine in a comfortable living room.

Keep in mind that market prices for Pokémon cards fluctuate regularly, so the listed prices may have increased or decreased since the time of writing.

Keen observers will note that the number of visible Eevee's is equal to the number of evolution possibilities, suggesting each of these identical Pokémon may be destined for very different lives. This illustration rare card is listed as number 188/167 and, at the time of writing, is shown as having a market price of $46.03 USD according to TCGPlayer.

9 Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex (212/167)

Special Illustration Rare

Ogerpon is one of the key figures for the DLC story of the Pokémon: Scarlet & Violet video games, and is known as equipping several masks that provide her with different strengths and abilities in battle. One of these is the Hearthflame mask, which is depicted in a menacing terastallized version for the special illustration rare card number 212/167 of Twilight Masquerade.

As the name, Hearthflame, would suggest, when Ogerpon dons this particular piece of headgear, she takes on a Fire-type skillset, including the Wrathful Hearth attack. To make it an even more powerful card, Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon is not only a Tera card, but also an ex card. Currently, this is the least valuable of the several mask variation cards in the Pokémon TCG: Twilight Masquerade set, with a market price on TCGPlayer of $46.32.

8 Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex (213/167)

Another of Ogerpon's impressive masks, and one of the most feminine and striking in its grace, beauty, and emotions it evokes, is the Wellspring mask. Depicted in the special illustration rare card 213/167, this blue mask includes a sad expression complete with teardrops streaming down the cheeks. In the full-art card, the mask takes on the crystalline Tera-type form, which somehow manages to make the mask look even more heartbroken and sad, which combines nicely with the attack called simply Sob.

This card is covered in the blue crystalized look, appearing to be an icy feminine face crying sparkling tears. According to TCGPlayer, the Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex card holds a market value of $51.01 USD at the time of writing, with prices having recently dropped from being $61.98 not long ago. With many collectors desiring to have the full set of Ogerpon mask special illustration rares, the values of each mask card will likely rise and fall while more people begin to open packs of cards and the number of cards in the market fluctuate.

The most coveted of Ogerpon mask cards is none other than the namesake of the video game DLC, Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask, as Pokémon TCG: Twilight Masquerade debuts the Tera version of Teal Mask Ogerpon ex.

Special Illustration Rare

The Bloodmoon Beast, Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, comes in as one of the more valued cards for the Pokémon TCG: Twilight Masquerade set.

This rare card for Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex in the Twilight Masquerade set is valued with a market price of $80.22 USD on TCGPlayer at the time of writing. Only days ago, however, the card was being sold for close to $100, further showing the fluctuation in the market already with the card.
