I’m getting caught up in my Eevee collection and i managed to find reverse holos in early sets. Now I’m tackling unlimited versions! I need help! I have 100% 1st editions done but now I’ve tracked down only 4 or so I have proof that has an unlimited version! Is there an article somewhere that points out if Japan bothered to keep select sets for unlimited?
Of course I’m leaning more toward Eevee cards so here is the list m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Eevee_(TCG) I think I can narrow down the list by taking out a few early sets i have, deck cards, & promos tomorrow.
#i have a theory Ninetales was supposed to be Eevees normal evolution but pokemon gave it to vulpix. Scrap the fire type but the look of Ninetails screams “big white fluffy mega-zen eevee” & after 8 evolutions *cough* Nine-tails!

Hi there @rustedharmony ,
Near the bottom of my 1st edition stamps variation article I have made an updated quote of which sets/decks aren’t printed in UED and which are. The original thread of that quote made by @funmonkey54 is here: www.elitefourum.com/t/1st-edition-timeline-lets-iron-it-out/16054/1
There are some sets with only a 1st edition print run; and some sets with only an unlimited edition print run. Most sets that do have both a 1st and UED print run in Japanese are usually easier to find in 1st edition. Most UED Japanese sets are pretty short-printed (World Champions Pack for example) or only distributed as promos (Base Expansion Pack (E1) for example).
Here an overview of the Eevees from Japanese sets:
- Jungle: Only UED (with rarity symbol)
- Team Rocket: Only UED (with rarity symbol)
- Gym Challenge: Only UED (with rarity symbol; it’s not part of one of the Gym decks, which are No Rarity)
- Neo Discovery: Only UED (with rarity symbol), although a No Rarity version with different artwork has been released in the Neo Premium File 2 (which is only available as No Rarity))
- The Town on No Map (Aquapolis): Both 1st and UED, but UED is rarer
- Split Earth (Skyridge): Both 1st and UED, but UED is way rarer (I have the 1st and UED Pikachus of this set, but the UED is indeed hard to find)
- Magma VS Aqua: Two Ambitions (EX Sandstorm): Both 1st and UED
- Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean (EX Unseen Forces): Both 1st and UED (each with four distinct EX codes at the bottom left)
- Holon Research Tower (EX Delta Species): Both 1st and UED
- Holon Research Tower Fire Quarter Decks (EX Delta Species): Both 1st and UED
- Holon Research Tower Water Quarter Decks (EX Delta Species): Both 1st and UED
- Holon Research Tower Lightning Quarter Decks (EX Delta Species): Both 1st and UED
- Dawn Dash (Majestic Dawn): Both 1st and UED
- Shaymin LV.X Collection Pack (Majestic Dawn): Not sure, but I think both 1st and UED
- Bonds to the End of Time (Rising Rivals): Both 1st and UED
- Melee! Pokémon Scramble: Only UED (and very rare to find in general)
- Reviving Legends (Undaunted): Both 1st and UED
- Leafeon vs Metagross Expert Deck (Undaunted): Not sure, but I think both 1st and UED
- Dark Rush (Dark Explorers): Both 1st and UED
- Shiny Collection (Legendary Treasures): Only 1st ed. This wasn’t released in UED
- Reshiram-EX Battle Strength Deck (Dark Explorers): Not sure, but I think both 1st and UED
- Zekrom-EX Battle Strength Deck: Not sure, but I think both 1st and UED
- Spiral Force (Plasma Freeze): Both 1st and UED
- Thunder Knuckle (Plasma Freeze): Both 1st and UED
- Furious Fists (Rising Fist): Both 1st and UED
- Bandit Ring (Ancient Origins): Both 1st and UED
- The Best of XY (Ancient Origins): Only UED
- Collection Sun (Sun & Moon): Only UED (since the Sun & Moon era, no Japanese 1st edition print runs are being made anymore; everything is UED)
- Collection Moon (Sun & Moon: Only UED (see above)
- Strength Expansion Pack Sun & Moon: Only UED (see above)
- Ultra Sun (Ultra Prism): Only UED (see above)
- Ultra Moon (Ultra Prism): Only UED (see above)
- Forbidden Light: Only UED (see above)
- GX Battle Boost (Ultra Prism): Only UED (see above)
Hope this helps! 
Good luck with your collection goals.
Greetz,

Lol thanks… I have a 4-binder and need about 3 pages worth of UED. I’ll try to snatch what I can find & maybe the others will reveal themself over time.
I even got the 3 World Championships Eevee cards in 2006 & 2007. So I’m not completely sad about some gaps. Now that Eevee is a mascot maybe people will sell again! Lol
Does anyone have evidence of the following sets/packs coming both 1st ed and UED? I have 2/3 Holon quaterdecks in 1st ed, and three of the other four, and seen the fourth, in UED but haven’t seen them in other forms.
Holon Research Tower Quarter Decks
Shaymin LV.X Collection Pack
Leafeon vs Metagross Expert Deck
Reshiram-EX Battle Strength Deck
Zekrom-EX Battle Strength Deck
