White Flare

Pokémon White Flare

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—White Flare (rsv10.5) is one half of the first-ever split expansion in Western markets, released on 18 July 2025 as part of the Scarlet & Violet series. Centred on the Unova region and its legendary dragon of truth, Reshiram, the set reunites players and collectors with all 156 Generation V Pokémon across both White Flare and its companion set, Black Bolt. Collectors prize White Flare for its deep roster of Special Illustration Rares, a brand-new Black & White Rare foil treatment, and God Pack slots loaded with Illustration Rares.

Which Pokémon cards are in White Flare?

Reshiram ex anchors the set as the marquee legendary, joined by Keldeo ex, Hydreigon ex, Jellicent ex, and the Oshawott-to-Samurott and Tepig-to-Emboar starter evolution lines. The most chased cards are the ultra-rare Black & White Rares — a returning nostalgic foil treatment featuring Victini and Reshiram ex — alongside Special Illustration Rares for Reshiram ex, Hydreigon ex, Keldeo ex, Hilda (the first Trainer card featuring Unova's female protagonist), and Jellicent ex. Illustration Rares for Oshawott, Samurott, and Zoroark round out the collector highlights. Three distinct parallel foil sets, including rainbow Poké Ball and Master Ball patterns, add extra depth to the 173-card checklist.
