Vaporeon is card #25 of Dark Explorers (2012), a Uncommon Pokémon, illustrated by Akira Komayama.
Vaporeon appears in 24 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Dark Explorers (2012) #25 card is one of 24 printings spanning 1997–2025. Akira Komayama only illustrated this Dark Explorers version; other printings credit Kagemaru Himeno, 5ban Graphics, The Pokémon Company Art Team. Other Vaporeon printings sit at Rare Holo, Rare, Promo, Trainer Gallery Rare Holo rarity tiers, so this Uncommon Dark Explorers card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 110 HP, while other Vaporeon cards in the catalogue range from 70 to 130 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Vaporeon hub page.
HP: 110 · Type: Water · Weakness: Lightning ×2 · Retreat cost: 2 energy · Evolves from: Eevee
“Its cell composition is similar to water molecules. As a result, it can melt away into water.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #134
The 1 in 12 pull chance is calculated from the Dark Explorers rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Vaporeon Dark Explorers #25 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $6.62 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 25 Pack Dust from the Dark Explorers dust pool, which fills as you open Dark Explorers packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Vaporeon or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
