Black Bolt White Flare

Pokémon TCG: Black Bolt & White Flare – Full Set Overview

Release Date: August 23, 2025

The latest dual set from the Scarlet & Violet era has landed – Black Bolt & White Flare. This split set continues the Unova storyline, bringing fan-favourite Trainers, Pokémon ex cards, and a brand new exclusive rarity into the spotlight. Below, we’ll take a closer look at the key chase cards, sealed products, and how to shop or sell your collection with us.

Chase Cards – White Flare

This set features some incredible artwork and exclusive new rarities. Notably, Poké Ball and Master Ball reverse holo patterns make a return — a trend we’ve now seen twice. Could this be the future of special holo slots?

  • Victini 172/086 – A bright, celebratory fire-type artwork with bold colours and exclusive new rarity.
  • Reshiram ex 173/086 – High-energy full art finish, showcasing Reshiram’s strength and speed.
  • Reshiram ex 166/086 – More subtle and stylised, great synergy with the Unova aesthetic.
  • Hilda 171/086 – One of the most anticipated Trainer cards, pairing perfectly with Reshiram ex.

Chase Cards – Black Bolt

Once again, Victini makes an appearance — though it’s numbered differently here! We’re still wondering why Pokémon didn’t keep the card numbers consistent between sets.
