The Pokemon Scarlet & Violet TCG Obsidian Flames expansion launched this past May, and fans who have waited to pick up the Elite Trainer Box have been rewarded with a huge discount here on Amazon, where it is priced at $36.95, or 33% off list. You can also get it here at Walmart for $38.99.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet TCG Obsidian Flames expansion introduces type-shifted Tera Pokemon ex. Interestingly, some of these Tera Pokemon ex cards (like Charizard, Tyranitar, Eiscue, and Vespiquen) will feature atypical Energy types:
"Trainers will see Charizard ex as a Darkness type versus its usual Fire type, as well as Tyranitar ex as a Lightning type versus its usual Fighting type or Darkness type. When attacking, type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex will use the same Energy as their usual type; however, they will have a different Weakness that corresponds with their shifted type. These cards will also follow the same rules as normal Pokémon ex – when Knocked Out, the type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex gives up two Prize cards instead of one."
Some important stats:
- Over 190 cards
- More than 20 brand-new Pokémon ex (15 Pokémon ex and 6 Tera Pokémon ex): a new take on a returning game mechanic
- More than 15 Trainer cards
- 12 illustration rare Pokémon
- Six special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter card
- 12 ultra rare full-art etched Pokémon ex and Supporter cards
- Three hyper rare gold etched cards
