“Obsidian Flames” Officially Revealed, First Products from the Set!

[Water Pokémon Master]

Obsidian Flames has been officially revealed by Pokemon! It will release on August 11th as our third Scarlet & Violet set. We first posted about the set a month ago.
The set will introduce the first Tera Pokemon ex of unusual types, including Charizard ex (Darkness), Tyranitar ex (Lightning), Eiscue ex, and Vespiquen ex. These “type-shifted” Tera Pokemon ex will use the same Energy as their usual types, but will have a different Weakness to correspond with their shifted types. For example, Charizard ex will be a Darkness card with Fire attack costs and a Grass Weakness (Darkness types are weak to Grass to represent Bug).
The set will also feature a Tera Dragonite ex (Dragon), Tera Greedent ex (Colorless), Revavroom ex, Melmetal ex, and Toedscruel...

A tera electric tyranitar and a tera dragon dragonite? Sounds like an interesting set, can't wait to see their effects. Logo looks mid, and revavroom not being tera is weird, revavroom is prob gonna be an ex.

Aaaaaaaaaaand welcome back scalpers

 

[Ranger64]

This is the third time Pokemon has made their third set of the generation Charizard themed. I do like that this one actually focuses more on Charmander on the ETB though.

 

[Asrialys]

Wonder why they didn't just use Terestal Pokemon for all four pack arts...

 

[Hitmonchanning]

Very excited to see what will come out of this set in terms of playability. I feel like as a whole the Scarlet and Violet era is going to be fantastic. Really love the direction that the game is going in.
Also, so glad Vespiqueen is getting an ex!

 

[Sharkeatingleeks]

It seems like Eiscue and Vespiquen are getting differently typed exs while Greedent ex is normal tera.

Melmetal ex is coming this set so I suppose this set includes the starter decks?

Vespiquen would be very cool to see on a pack art not gonna lie

This is the third time Pokemon has made their third set of the generation Charizard themed. I do like that this one actually focuses more on Charmander on the ETB though.

Also the 3rd time using a set name that has a fire/darkness theme. Burning Shadows, Darkness Ablaze, now Obsidian Flames.

I don't know why every product proprietary to TPCi has to be limited to generic artwork, but that Charmander looks very jarring.

revavroom on the pack art

Dragonite looks Tera to me and not normal. May want to edit that

 

[JaniK]

waiting for this set Tyranitar ex and Dragonite ex sounds cool. I hope they are playable

The listed Teras (Eiscue and Vespequen included) are alternate type, while Dragonite retains it's usual dragon typing. That's the distinction between the two lists

Time to update setlist, I guess.

Also, their common antic to introduce Tera ex or different types. We got Water, Bug, Psychic, Fairy, and Fire. Then OBF introduces Dark, Electric, and Dragon.
Meaning the remaining ones are:
Grass, Poison, Rock, Ground, Fighting, Steel, Normal, Ghost, Ice, and Flying

I'm more hyped for the charmander sleeves and the Tyranitar ex than anything

 

[N's Rhyperior]

waiting for this set Tyranitar ex and Dragonite ex sounds cool. I hope they are playable

Based on what I saw lately, Dragonite ex has WL in its attack cost

 

[Platinum Espresso]

An Eiscue that runs Water energy with a different type could be an interesting tech inclusion in Bax decks, hopefully it doesn't suck though.

 

[Platinum Espresso]

Gonna make a hard call and say Revavroom ex is the Crobat V of the ex era. We're due an instant draw card in this format

 

[RogueMike95]

Maybe Regidrago will get a better meal than the Card 151 Dragonite this time around.

 

[Grass-Type Farm Owner]

REVAVROOM EX!!! I hope it's like Silvally-GX but with the Starmobiles as Pokemon Tools that change its type to Darkness/Psychic/Fire/Fighting.
