Black Bolt
One half of the July 2025 pair with White Flare — the Unova sets, each printing one half of the regional Pokédex. Black Bolt carries Zekrom; the black-white 'illustration rare' treatment across the whole set made both halves sell out at launch.

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 Black White Rare cards, led by Zekrom ex at $625.92 and Victini at $622.84. The Special illustration rare Zekrom ex sits at $282.80, with Seismitoad's Illustration rare at $221.82. Kyurem ex and N's Plan, both Special illustration rares, are listed at $75.04 and $69.37.
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. The Booster Bundle holds 6 booster packs with no accessories and is the cheapest way to open a fixed number of packs, while the Booster Bundle Set pairs the Black Bolt and White Flare bundles at retail. The Three-Booster Blister adds 3 packs and a foil promo card, and tins and collection boxes carry 4–8 packs with promo cards, using the same packs as loose retail.
