Pokemon TCG Black Bolt And White Flare Officially Unveiled, First Expansion Ever To Be Split In Two

reshirama and zekrom pokemon tcg comparison.

Pokemon Black Bolt/White Flare is going to be split into two separate products. There will be individual Elite Trainer Boxes, Booster Bundles, and Collection Boxes, each of which will only contain their corres🎉ponding Booster Packs. As this is a special set, there will be no Booster 𝓀Boxes.

This will mark the first time a dual set has been released in English in the history of the Pokemon TCG. Some expansions have contained two Elite Trainer Boxes, like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Scarlet and Violet base and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Evolving Skies, but the Booster Packs inside remained the same.

So far, Elite Trainer Boxes, Poster Collections, Booster Bundles, Tech Sticker Collections, and Mini Tins have been officially revealed, with Tornadus and Thundurus appearing as the promos inside the ETBs. The products are due for release, starting on July 18, 2025.

The expansion is confirmed to include cards of every single Pokemon from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black and White's Unova Region, with each one getting an Illustration Rare or S🌊pecial Illustration Rare.

The Pokemon Company : "Black Bolt will feature the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom, while White Flare will feature the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram. Each expansion will include three different parallel foil sets, two of which will feature either a rainbow Poké Ball or Master Ball pattern shimmering across the caꦅrd."

Black Bolt ൲and White Flare will include different vari💃ations of noteworthy cards, which are:

  • Six Pokémon ex
  • Eight ultra rare Pokémon and Supporter cards
  • One Illustration Rare or Special Illustration Rare card for each Unova Pokémon
  • One special illustration rare Supporter card

It's unclear whether 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket influenced the decision to split the expansion in two. Since the game launched late last year, it has achieved widespread popularity, with each of its major expansions split into two different booster packs (sometimes three, in the case of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genetic Apex). It's𓃲 easy to imagine that The Pokemon Company was reluctant to split English expansions into two, but the popularity and reception of TCG Pocket made them take the plunge, but this is speculation, of course, and the turnaround times could have come too close, given sets are planned and printed months in advance.

Let us just hope that Black Bolt and White Flare will be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:easier to come by than previous sets.
