Reshiram ex and Zekrom ex have been revealed as stunning Black White rare cards in the upcoming Pokémon TCG split expansion—Scarlet & Violet: Black Bolt and White Flare—releasing on July 18, 2025.

Why These Cards Stand Out
- Black & White Rare rarity (BWR): a new ultra-rare tier featuring striking monochrome foil finishes, inspired by the original Black & White series.
- Legendary duo: Zekrom leads Black Bolt, while Reshiram takes the spotlight in White Flare, completing a cohesive pair across the expansions.
- Premium foil treatment: Each card includes stunning parallel foils—rainbow Poké Ball and Master Ball patterns—for true collector appeal.
Release and Availability
- Launch date: July 18, 2025, worldwide at participating retailers and digitally on Pokémon TCG Live starting July 17.
- Included in: Elite Trainer Boxes, Binder Collections, Unova Poster Collection, Booster Bundles, Mini Tins, and Tech Sticker Collections.
Collector Buzz
- These are the first English-language BWR cards for Reshiram and Zekrom—highly anticipated by collectors.
- Enthusiasts are already raving about the art, especially on Reddit’s r/PokemonTCG.
- Special Art Rares like Reshiram ex (SAR) and Zekrom ex (SAR) are also seeing rapid demand and strong early pricing.
