Black Bolt and White Flare were just revealed seconds ago at Japan’s Champions League tournament!
As posted last November, the dual sets will release on June 6th in Japan and feature all 156 Unova Pokemon. The sets are clearly meant to be the Generation V version of Pokemon Card 151.

And the BW-themed dual sets finally get a reveal, I was getting worried we wouldn’t see it just yet.

The reveals are nice to see, Serperior being the only Starter to get an ex is irksome but other things about the set make up for it, especially the return of Inferno Fandango Emboar and Samurott getting a decent Ability (Shell Armor Samurott was terrible in BLW, it was terrible in LTR, and it was terrible in VIV despite boosting the damage block from 20 to 30).

The idea of every Unovan Pokémon getting an Illustration Rare is bothersome, especially with the way TPCi handled Secret Illustration Rares in Prismatic Evolutions. I really hope that the somewhat-decent pull rates from Journey Together (and hopefully Destined Rivals) remain for these sets when they’re released internationally.

Oh, and here’s hoping we get a reprint of Garbotoxin Garbodor and/or a reworked Ancient Power Archeops in this set.

I sincerely hate that they gave serperior ex considering it hasn’t gotten a normal card since Fates Collide in 2016
Not to mention the others not getting exs
At least then I could excuse it
