Pokémon TCG: Black Bolt & White Flare Sets Bring Unova Back in June!

The Unova region is returning in a big way! The upcoming Pokémon TCG sets, Black Bolt and White Flare, are set to release on 6th June 2025, celebrating the legendary battle of Reshiram and Zekrom. This expansion will spotlight the 156 Pokémon from the Unova region, making it a nostalgic yet fresh experience for both collectors and competitive players.

A Closer Look at Black Bolt & White Flare

These twin sets should bring stunning gen 5 cards and new meta shifting Pokémon ex to the game. Here's what we expect:

• Reshiram & Zekrom as set mascots, each with powerful new ex versions!
• Focus on Unova, potentially including iconic Pokémon like Hydreigon, Chandelure, and Volcarona!
• Potential for amazing Unova Illustration Rares and Secret Rares, giving gen 5 collectors something to chase!

The return of Unova’s Pokémon in such a prominent way has led to strong speculation that a Pokémon Black & White remake could be on the way, possibly mirroring past remake cycles. While nothing is confirmed, this release perfectly aligns with how previous remakes have been teased through TCG expansions.

What to Expect in This Expansion

Both sets are expected to introduce brand-new competitive strategies, leveraging Unova Pokémon’s diverse move pools and synergy-driven abilities. With the revival of Reshiram and Zekrom’s legendary rivalry, many are anticipating strong Fire, Electric, and Dragon-type deck builds dominating the meta.

Collectors could also be catered to with a return of full-art and hyper-rare gen 5 Pokemon, featuring stunning artwork that highlights the deep lore of Unova. Fans of Pokémon’s fifth-generation games will love the Trainer cards, which could feature characters like N, Bianca, and Alder.
