About Ruler of the Black Flame

Ruler of the Black Flame was the first set to feature type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex, whose Tera type differs from their usual type. Its star is a Darkness-type Tera Charizard ex, and its cards formed the core of the English Obsidian Flames expansion. The Japanese set has 141 cards.

The Scarlet & Violet era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game began in Japan in January 2023. It brought back Pokémon ex, introduced Tera Pokémon ex and the illustration rare and special illustration rare card types that collectors love, and is based on the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games set in the Paldea region.

Why buy a Japanese booster box?

Japanese booster boxes are a favourite with collectors in the UK. Japanese cards are famous for their print quality and sharp centring, the packs are smaller and cheaper per pack, and Japanese sets often release months before the English version, so you can chase the illustration rares first.

Please note that all cards in this box are printed in Japanese. They are genuine Pokémon cards made by The Pokémon Company in Japan, and they are great for collecting, grading and display.

We check the seal and condition of every box before it is listed, and we pack it with care. If you have a question about a particular product, our team is happy to help before you order, so you can buy with confidence.
