The pattern: Collectors can target budget-friendly commons or invest in high-value secret rares depending on their goals.
What is the White Flare card list?
Complete Card List
White Flare (set code FLR) launched on the same day as Black Bolt — July 18, 2025. The official Pokémon TCG gallery lists White Flare as a companion expansion featuring an overlapping but distinct roster of Pokémon (Official Pokémon TCG, gallery page). While Black Bolt leans into Grass, Lightning, and Water types, White Flare emphasizes Fire and Psychic Pokémon from Unova.
Differences from Black Bolt
- Black Bolt includes Serperior ex, Kyurem ex, and Zekrom ex as highlights
- White Flare features different ex cards and Trainer cards
- Both sets share the same base rarity structure and Master Ball Holo treatment
- Master Ball Holo variants appear in both sets at similar pull rates
What this means: Collectors who want both type coverage and exclusive cards will need to acquire singles from each set.
How does Black Bolt compare to White Flare?
Three dimensions separate the two companion sets:
| Dimension | Black Bolt (BLK) | White Flare (FLR) |
|---|---|---|
| Release Date | July 18, 2025 | July 18, 2025 |
| Set Code | BLK | FLR |
| Chase Card | Kyurem ex ($62.99) | To be confirmed |
| Type Focus | Grass, Lightning, Water | Fire, Psychic |
| Master Ball Holos | Yes | Yes |
The pattern: Black Bolt and White Flare are mirror-image sets sharing a structure but diverging in type focus and chase cards. Collectors who want competitive coverage across types may need both.
Black Bolt’s Kyurem ex and Serperior ex are already commanding higher prices than most White Flare singles, but White Flare’s exclusive Fire support could prove more valuable in the competitive meta.
The implication: Black Bolt currently leads in value, but White Flare may gain traction as tournament play evolves.

Where can I find the Black Bolt card list in different languages?
Japanese Card List
The Japanese version of Black Bolt uses a different numbering system from the international set. TCG Collector and Pokellector offer Japanese-language galleries with localized card names. The card list on Pokémon.com (official site) provides language-specific galleries, though Japanese cards often release earlier than English ones.
Korean Card List
Korean Black Bolt cards follow the Japanese numbering convention rather than the international one. Collectors looking for Korean singles can use TCG Collector’s language filter or check Pikawiz for Korean card listings. Korean print runs are typically smaller than Japanese or English, affecting availability.
International TCG List: The English-language set is easiest to find on major aggregators. The official Pokémon TCG gallery lists all English cards. TCGCollector provides the most complete searchable database with card images.
