Pokemon Ruler of the Black Flame Booster Box - Japanese

Ruler of the Black Flame (Japanese: 黒炎の支配者, set code SV3) was released in Japan on July 28 2023, headlined by the long-awaited return of Charizard ex — now in its powerful Dark Tera type form.

This set introduced Tera-type Pokémon ex with elemental mismatches, such as a Fire Pokémon with a Darkness Tera crystal, giving collectors and players a unique twist on the traditional type system.

Each booster box contains 30 packs with 5 cards per pack, featuring ex cards, Illustration Rares (IR), and Special Art Rares (SAR).
The top chase cards from the set include Charizard ex SAR (#134/108), Pidgeot ex SAR (#131/108), and Cleffa (IR #120/108) — all celebrated for their striking artwork and collector appeal.

Ruler of the Black Flame became one of the defining sets of the Scarlet & Violet era, driving massive global demand thanks to the return of Charizard in its Dark Tera form and the high-quality full-art composition that marks this generation’s peak design era.
