White Flare Set Guide

Overview

White Flare is Black Bolt's companion, released the same day and built the same way: an 86-card main set and 87 cards above it, 69 of them Illustration Rares. Reshiram ex is its legendary, against Black Bolt's Zekrom ex.

It leans dark and fiery. Darkness is its biggest type with 27 cards, Fire next with 23, and its Supporters are the Unova trainers Hilda, Cheren and Harlequin.

Cards and rarities

White Flare has 173 cards. Every card shows its number over the printed total along the bottom, as in "001/086", next to the set code WHT.

The printed total is 86, so the 87 cards from 087 to 173 are secret rares, more than half the set. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the secret rares apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals.

Headline Pokémon

Three Pokémon ex worth knowing, each giving up two Prize cards when Knocked Out:

Keldeo ex

White Flare #30

Gale Thrust does 120 if it moved from the Bench to the Active Spot this turn.

Trainers worth knowing

Victini

Illustrator 5ban Graphics

As in Black Bolt, White Flare's most valuable card is a secret Victini, 172/086, at $559.27 on September 30, 2026. The catalog lists its rarity as Rare; its number, far above the printed 86, is what makes it a secret. Unlike Black Bolt, White Flare prints no regular Victini.

The Black White Rare Reshiram ex (173/086) was second at $482.35, about $77 behind, and the Reshiram ex Special Illustration Rare third at $189.78.

Only the exact version is worth its price. The number at the bottom of the card and the rarity symbol beside it tell you which one you pulled. Reading the number and rarity symbol →

Chase cards and prices

Victini and Reshiram ex lead. Illustration Rares of regular Pokémon, Oshawott and Zoroark, fill out the top six.

These are each card's headline TCGplayer market price on September 30, 2026. Prices can move a long way, most of all in a set's first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every variant and its 90-day chart. How Pokémon card prices work →

What a complete set costs

One copy of every card in White Flare, bought as singles, cost $3,050.55 on September 30, 2026. That is the third most expensive of the seven sets released in 2025.

The three most valuable cards, Victini, Reshiram ex and Reshiram ex, come to $1,231.40, or 40% of the total. Without them the set costs $1,819.15. Of the 173 cards, 92 were under $2.00, together $20.56; the other 81 add up to $3,029.99.

Each card is counted at its cheapest priced variant, a Normal copy rather than a Reverse Holofoil where both exist, at its TCGplayer market price. This is what it costs to buy the set as singles. It is not what opening packs returns, and not what a complete set would sell for, which after fees and the many cards worth cents would be noticeably less.

Playing it

Every White Flare card carries the I regulation mark, legal in Standard under the April 10, 2026 rotation.

Hydreigon ex's Greedy Eater makes Basic Pokémon expensive to leave Active against it: a Knock Out on one takes an extra Prize card.
