Black Bolt
Quick answer
Unova nostalgia collectors and Zekrom fans; expect special-set pack prices well above mainline sets, and price the Victini and Zekrom ex singles before chasing.
Black Bolt is the Zekrom-themed half of a pair of special sets celebrating the Unova region, released on the same day as its Reshiram-themed sister set, White Flare. Its secret list is as large as its base list — 86 cards plus 86 secret rares, most of them Illustration Rares — and chase interest concentrates on the Black White Rare Zekrom ex and a secret-rare Victini, the two priciest cards in the set by our dated snapshots. As a special set it was not sold in standard 36-pack booster boxes; packs ship in booster bundles, Elite Trainer Boxes and collection products.
86 cards + 86 secret rares · Scarlet & Violet era · Always check official product details and set lists before buying.
