The two Elite Trainer Boxes each even have them on their cases. One has Flareon, Jolteon, Leafeon, and Umbreon on it. The other has Espeon, Glaceon, Sylveon, and Vaporeon. In addition to Eeveelutions, dragon types will appear. The two mentioned in the announcement were the Duraludon VMAX and Rayquaza VMAX cards.
