[Water Pokémon Master]

We can exclusively reveal August’s English set will be named Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames. The set logo hasn’t been revealed yet.
The set will officially release on August 11th. Prereleases will take place from July 29th to August 6th.
As the name indicates, the set will be comprised of the cards from July’s Ruler of the Black Flame, which will feature a Tera Darkness-type Charizard ex. The set will also include the 30ish cut cards from our SV2 set. July’s eight ex Starter Decks should also be tossed into the set.
The TCG featured a Darkness-type “Charizard ☆ δ” in 2006’s EX Dragon...

Pretty cool callback. Always thought the Terastal Phenomenon would bring Delta Species shenanigans to the forefront again. Let's just hope these new guys find a proper place in the meta so I can actually appreciate the concept during matches.

If this set also has Pokémon Card 151 in it, all I have to say is this. (That being said, I know there’s a chance they’ll save 151 for a different set so Charizard can be milked further)

Of course they're giving Charizard the most edgelord Tera possible, and not something like Bug. But hey, at least we're not getting a set of Charizards in every Tera type!

The third generation in a row where the third set features Charizard as the main card of the set, and also kinda where darkness has been alluded to (Burning Shadows is a bit of a loose one)!

Shadows -> Darkness -> Obsidian
Burning -> Ablaze -> Flames
Always the 3rd set lol

You forgot X&Y Flashfire

 

[dineinunes]

That's a really cool name

 

[PawnShopJewel]

You forgot X&Y Flashfire

That was the second set of XY - set number three was Furious Fists

 

[Mimikeon]

That's a pretty sick name though

Does someone pay you people to make posts like this? Get over it already.

They apparently cannot physically do it. When something with Charizard gets revealed, they have to bitch about it. They have to.

 

[ThePokemonGuardian]

I am starting to see a trend with these 3rd sets these past 4 generations having darkness and fire based titles and all featuring Charizard.

-Flashfire
-Burning Shadows
-Darkness Ablaze
-Obsidian Flames

Wait, so the pokemon 151 subset will not be released internationally?

don't give them any ideas... lmao

Not YET anyways. The S&V just started so its still possible they could. Cause god forbid they pick another Pokemon over Charizard. Like you know Umbreon? Zoroark? Slazzle?

 

[MagnaDrake]

Shadows -> Darkness -> Obsidian
Burning -> Ablaze -> Flames
Always the 3rd set lol

Somebody definitely has two sheets of papers full of "Black Fire" synonyms and everytime it needs to come up they just roll a d20 and see where it lands.

Cause god forbid they pick another Pokemon over Charizard. Like you know Umbreon? Zoroark? Slazzle?

Two of those three are pushed to a level not far from Charizard's though?

Any chance we get tera special illustration rares here/any point in the near future?
