The Pokémon Trading Card Game continues to build momentum in the Scarlet & Violet era, and the latest expansion—White Flare, released on July 18, 2025—is a testament to how far this generation has come. Rather than launching a new chapter, White Flare deepens the narrative by bringing the entire Unova region into focus, with a master set of 334 cards that includes every Unova Pokémon in either an Illustration Rare or Special Illustration Rare variant.
This set doesn’t reinvent the wheel—it refines it. The introduction of the new “Black & White Rare” tier adds a fresh layer of prestige, making certain cards feel like true collector’s trophies. Among the most sought-after is Reshiram ex (Special Illustration Rare), a fiery centerpiece that blends power and elegance in one breathtaking card. Its “Blaze Burst” attack scales with Prize cards taken, making it a late-game threat in competitive play and a must-have for collectors.
Another standout is Whimsicott ex, whose SAR variant features a tranquil scene of the Pokémon basking on sunlit stairs. It’s whimsical, yes, but also emotionally resonant—proof that Pokémon card art continues to evolve in depth and storytelling. Then there’s Zoroark (Art Rare), depicted in a haunting lakeside illusion that captures the essence of mystery and deception. It’s a card that feels like a short film in cardboard form.
With so many cards to chase, collectors need more than just binders and spreadsheets. That’s where Collectiblz comes in—a sleek, powerful checklist app available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Whether you’re tracking Pokémon cards, Happy Meal toys, or rare action figures, Collectiblz helps you:
- Mark items as owned or missing

For a set as expansive and intricate as White Flare, Collectiblz isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. It turns collecting into a streamlined, satisfying experience, letting you focus on the thrill of the hunt.
As Scarlet & Violet continues to unfold, White Flare reminds us that the journey through Paldea and beyond is far from over. With Unova now fully represented, collectors have a new frontier to explore—and the tools to master it.
