Pokémon TCG Japan Releases Ruler Of The Black Flame

Pokémon TCG Japan releases Ruler of the Black Flame, which includes an exciting list of Secret Rare cards including multiple Charizard.

The latest Pokémon TCG expansion comes to Japan today. Let's take a look at the details of the newly released Ruler of the Black Flame, which is the first Charizard-themed set of the Scarlet & Violet era.

Pokémon TCG Japan has released the Charizard-themed expansion Ruler of the Black Flame today, July 28th. It includes 108 cards, not including Secret Rare cards. This expansion is the first to feature Tera Pokémon with a Tera type that differs from its standard typing. This will be most prominently seen on the Dark-type Tera Charizard ex but will also show up on the Fire-type Tera Eiscue ex and Electric-type Tera Tyranitar ex. It has already been confirmed that this set will, in part, make up Scarlet & Violet – Obsidian Flames, which will be our English-language Pokémon TCG set for August 2023.
