Both Black Bolt and White Flare have made a huge impact since launching together on July 18, 2025. Celebrating the full Unova roster, these Pokémon TCG sets stand out not just for gameplay but also for their pure focus on the beloved Gen V.
While every card in the expansion has an Illustration Rare or better, a few have emerged as both highly collectable and competitively viable. As a result, some cards have been selling out more over at dedicated card marketplace TCGPlayer than others.
Let’s dive into the standout cards and the artwork that have collectors scrambling for singles.
TL;DR – The 10 Most Popular Cards From Black Bolt
Black Bolt’s top sellers blend power, nostalgia, and jaw-dropping art, also sharing some of the most expensive cards in White Flare and Black Bolt too. N’s Plan leads the Trainer hype with a serene illustration.
Meanwhile, Zekrom ex shows up three times, with the coveted Black White Rare version being the most in-demand — and expensive — of them all. Air Balloon’s reprint is a clean, functional favourite, and Genesect ex is a collector and/or competitive player’s dream with three sleek variations.
Seismitoad’s psychedelic Round set-up adds both charm and synergy. And then, further down, Victini’s bold Black White Rare print rounds out the list as a fiery sleeper hit.
