New set features all 156 Unova Pokémon, returning foil patterns from Black & White, and exclusive products with Zekrom, Reshiram, Victini, and more.
We have first information about our next upcoming Special (Dual) set named (SV10.5) Scarlet & Violet - Black Bolt / Scarlet & Violet - White Flare.
This (dual) set is based off the Japanese Black Bolt / White Flare dual set which releases next month in June. We now have product images and the first set information.
As stated in the Japanese version, this set is made around all 159 Unova Pokemon from the setting for the adventures of Pokemon Black and White and Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. I believe this is the first ever time TPCi is releasing a set this way in 2 different sets.
From what we have seen (not 100% confirmed), the first products of this set releases on July 18 and August 1, 2025.
Black Bolt / White Flare booster packs will not be sold in traditional Booster boxes, so look for them in specialty products.
Update: Set is officially revealed by TPCi:
The Pokemon Company International has officially revealed the latest split expansion for the Pokemon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—Black Bolt and Scarlet & Violet—White Flare.
Launching worldwide on July 18, 2025, this first ever dual set takes players back to the Unova region as seen in Pokemon Black and White and Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. All 156 originally discovered Unova Pokemon are featured in both sets. The split expansion introduces new rare card styles, nostalgic elements from the Black & White Series, and a variety of exclusive products starring Zekrom, Reshiram, and Victini.
