30th Celebration Battle Decks: Espeon ex vs Umbreon ex
The 30th Celebration Battle Decks are the only products in the line built to be played straight out of the box. Neither one contains booster packs. Instead, each gives you a complete 60-card deck — all foil — plus everything needed for a game. Here’s how the Espeon ex and Umbreon ex versions differ.

Shared contents
Both decks are recorded in our catalog as an all-foil 60-card deck led by the featured ex Pokémon, with a deck box, a coin and a playmat. That makes either one a complete starter for a new player, or a display piece for someone who likes foil cards.
The differences
The Espeon ex deck includes an illustration rare-style Victini promo. The Umbreon ex deck includes an illustration rare-style Zeraora promo. The decks themselves are built around different Pokémon, so they play differently.
Umbreon has long been one of the most sought-after Eeveelutions among collectors, which is reflected in the higher current price of its deck. If you are buying to play, the Espeon ex deck delivers the same type of product for less.
Who should buy which
- Buying for a new player on a budget: Espeon ex Battle Deck.
- Collecting Umbreon or Night-themed products: Umbreon ex Battle Deck.
- Two players who want to battle each other: buy both and play them head to head.
Important: no booster packs
If you want to open packs, choose a Booster Bundle, a Mini Tin or one of the collections instead. A Battle Deck’s value is the finished deck, the promo and the accessories.
