Quick answer
Prismatic Evolutions is the Eeveelution collector’s set with the Umbreon ex SIR as its flagship but no booster box and heavy premiums; Destined Rivals offers a deeper playable card pool, a standard booster box and Team Rocket nostalgia. Collectors chasing Eeveelutions pick Prismatic; most other buyers get more per dollar from Destined Rivals.
