You might have a point, however Pokemon has printed alt arts in decks before like the Gengar and Inteleon VMAX’s that got put into Fusion Strike, so it’s still possible. I also think it would be odd for them to promote Gengar as a set headliner and not give it any kind of special card.
This is literally the 4th English set with a Charizard in it basically named "Dark Fire"
2017: Burning Shadows
2020: Darkness Ablaze
2023: Obsidian Flames
2025: Phantasmal Flames
I feel like we may not get a SIR Gengar on Phantasmal Flames as it's a Mashup of the preconstructed japanese decks, but it's a given that the mega dream ex is a reprint set of all cards of the year so Japan may get the Gengar SIR there and we can get it in the set releasing in January
"Phantasmal Flames" sounds like a name my 9-year-old self would've given a self-built deck with Charizard and Gengar. Is phantasmal even a real word? That is legitimately the worst English set name I have ever read.
