Step back into the Unova region with Black Bolt, one of two highly anticipated Japanese-exclusive booster boxes that form the eleventh expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Scarlet & Violet Era. Released alongside its counterpart White Flare, this paired set celebrates Generation V with a full roster of all 156 Pokémon originally introduced in the Unova region—each receiving a dazzling secret rare variant of Art Rare (AR) or higher.
 
This expansion reintroduces the beloved Tinsel Holofoil card treatment, adding a nostalgic shimmer to your pulls. Black Bolt also debuts a brand-new rarity: BWR (Black White Rare)—a striking card type that presents featured Pokémon like Zekrom ex against bold, solid color backdrops with stylized monochrome borders and intricate holofoil patterns. BWR cards are currently exclusive to Zekrom ex (Black Bolt) and Reshiram ex (White Flare), making them highly collectible chase cards.
 
Set highlights include:
Zekrom SAR & BWR
Genesect SAR
N’s Plot SAR – A full-art trainer card that fans of the Unova saga won’t want to miss
 
Each Black Bolt Booster Box includes:
20 packs per box
7 cards per pack
 
Whether you're a long-time collector or a competitive player eager to explore new mechanics, Black Bolt delivers a powerful jolt of nostalgia and innovation.
