Collection: Black Bolt

Black Bolt is a 2025 Scarlet and Violet era set built around the Unova region and the legendary Pokemon Zekrom. It pairs with White Flare as a two-set release, leaning into Generation 5 nostalgia while using the modern EX format and the now-familiar Poke Ball and Master Ball pattern variants. For Unova fans and Zekrom collectors, this is one of the most focused sets of the era.

Chase cards collectors are watching

The headline pull is Zekrom EX 034/086, with the Special Illustration Rare Zekrom EX 166/086 sitting at the top of the chase list. Excadrill EX 046/086, Serperior EX 003/086 and Genesect EX 067/086 round out the EX lineup, and trainer fans tend to centre their builds around N's Plan 163/086 and Fennel 162/086. Poke Ball pattern cards like Munna 035/086, Tynamo 030/086 and Darmanitan 014/086 are popular with pattern collectors organising full Unova runs.

Rarity tiers in this set

Black Bolt follows the standard Scarlet and Violet structure. Expect Common, Uncommon and Holo Rare commons through to Double Rare EX cards, Illustration Rare trainers and Pokemon, Ultra Rare full art trainers, Special Illustration Rare alternate art EX cards, and Hyper Rare gold etched cards at the top of the pull rates. Poke Ball and Master Ball pattern variants of commons and uncommons add a parallel layer that many collectors recognise as the most fun part of the set to chase.
