About the set
Black Bolt is a Pokémon set released in July 2025, one half of a pair with White Flare. Both are Unova sets, each printing one half of the regional Pokédex, and Black Bolt carries Zekrom. The black-white illustration rare treatment across the whole set made both halves sell out at launch.
Collectors open Black Bolt for its top cards, led by Victini at a Black White Rare market price of $627.44 and Zekrom ex at a Black White Rare market price of $611.19. The Zekrom ex Special illustration rare sits at $267.04, followed by Seismitoad at $215.37, Kyurem ex at $72.38 and N's Plan at $65.36.
The Elite Trainer Box includes 9 booster packs, a full-art promo card, 65 card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers and a storage box, while the Booster Bundle holds 6 booster packs with no accessories. The Booster Bundle Set pairs the Black Bolt and White Flare Booster Bundles at retail, the Three-Booster Blister holds 3 booster packs and a foil promo card, and tins and collection boxes are promo-card boxes with 4–8 packs. A collector after accessories and a promo is best served by the Elite Trainer Box, while someone opening a fixed number of packs has the Booster Bundle as the cheapest option.
