Black Bolt and White Flare are paired sets which are primarily based on Generation V, with cards featuring all 156 Pokémon originally introduced in the Unova region. Every single Pokémon card introduced in this expansion will have a secret rare variant of AR (Art Rare) or better. Tinsel Holofoil cards are also reintroduced with the release of these sets.
Black Bolt and White Flare also introduces a new rarity of cards called BWR (BW Rare), also known as Black White rare in the English release, which feature Pokémon against a stark solid color background with monochromatic card designs and elaborate Holofoil patterning. The only two cards introduced so far that have the BWR rarity are Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex from their respective sets.
Black Bolt and White Flare will be released in Japan on June 6, 2025. Each booster box contains 20 booster packs. There are two kinds of booster packs for each set that will be available for purchase: regular packs cost ¥290 and contain 7 cards, with 2 cards guaranteed to be Holofoil, while "Deluxe Packs" cost ¥1450 and contain 35 cards, with 1 card guaranteed to have a rarity of AR or better.
