Released on July 18, 2025, Black Bolt and White Flare are dual fifth special, and well as the final, expansion sets from the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet series. They are the English counterpart of the Japanese special sets of the same names.
Black Bolt and White Flare are Gen V’s answer to 151, but with an even bigger twist: every Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex gets an Art Rare or Special Art Rare! That means that between the two sets there are over 156 illustration cards.
In addition, each Unova Pokémon is also featured in a regular card, a reverse holo card, a Poké Ball reverse holo card, and a Master Ball reverse holo card. A new card rarity was also introduced called BWR (Black White Rare), which features a monochromatic, holographic color scheme complementary to the Pokémon featured. There is only one per set and replaced gold cards with this release.
Black Bolt and White Flare are the first English dual set released ever. Each set has its own discrete card list with no overlap.

Pokémon Ranger Kat's Bonus Pick:
In honor of the upcoming Legends Z-A game my bonus pick from White Flare is the Tepig Illustrated Rare! The card art is perfect for fall when the game releases and may even be endearing enough to sway my choice of starter.
