Flygon and Ceruledge from Inferno X Receive New Alternate Artwork in

Collectors in Hong Kong and Taiwan (And some really dedicated collectors outside of those regions!) have reason to rejoice. As part of the localized rollout for Inferno X, Flygon and Ceruledge will each receive brand-new alternate art promos in Traditional Chinese. These promos are expected to be granted to players who win three rounds in Inferno X prerelease tournaments in those regions, making them likely candidates for the upcoming Phantasmal Flames prerelease lineup.

What the New Promos Entail

Each of these alternate artworks comes stamped, adding a layer of exclusivity and collectibility. The promos will likely be region-exclusive, meaning these versions may not see distribution outside Hong Kong and Taiwan. The promos also tie into previously announced regional products like the Inferno X Bonus Set, which includes other alternate promos such as Mega Charizard X EX, Zacian, or Toxtricity.

These new artworks could also serve as prerelease promos for Phantasmal Flames in November, expanding the variety of special cards available to tournament participants.

Gameplay & Strategic Notes

From a gameplay perspective, the core mechanics and stats of Flygon and Ceruledge will remain unchanged. The alternate artwork does not affect their in-deck performance. Still, for players who use either card in their strategies, having a visually distinct version can boost the prestige of their deck.

Flygon (Inferno X version) offers utility via its Flapping Sand Ability and Cutter Wind attack. Meanwhile Ceruledge packs powerful output with Purgatory Slash but demands careful resource management. These cards, while not receiving functional changes, may now see increased attention from players who value both form and function.

Collector Appeal & Value

These promos carry significant collector appeal. The factors that enhance their desirability include:

Regional exclusivity: Limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan, which reduces global availability.
Alternate art + stamp: Collectible variants often appreciate over time, especially for popular Pokémon.
Prerelease tie-in: Promos tied to tournament performance become badges of honor among collectors and competitive players.

Because these promos will likely have limited print runs, they may command premium pricing in the secondary market once released. Fans and collectors outside those regions should keep a close eye on import and resale opportunities.

How to Secure Them & What to Watch

If you are in Hong Kong or Taiwan:

Participate in local Inferno X prerelease tournaments and aim for 3 round wins to earn one of these promos.
Monitor announcements from tournament organizers and local stores for further details on distribution.

If you’re outside those regions:

Preorder or monitor imports carefully through trusted sellers.
OBSIDIA TCG will track availability for these alternate promos, and when they become available, we’ll offer updates or stock listings so you won’t miss them.

Final Thoughts

The decision to give Flygon and Ceruledge alternate art promos in China adds fresh excitement to the Inferno X rollout. It enriches the collector experience without altering gameplay, letting fans showcase rarer versions of cards they already love. If you’re aiming to complete a powerful or visually distinct collection, these promos are definitely ones to watch.
