Blurb
Raging Flames Forged in Darkness!
Red-hot embers illuminate the pitch-black night and sparks flare into an inferno as Charizard ex surges forth with newfound powers of darkness! The glittering Terastal phenomenon imbues some Pokémon ex like Tyranitar, Eiscue, and Vespiquen with different types than usual, while Dragonite ex and Greedent ex show mastery of their own inner strengths. Not to be outdone, Revavroom ex, Melmetal ex, and more Pokémon promise to change the course of battle in the Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames expansion!

Trivia
Even though Pokémon cards are typically ordered first by type and then by Pokédex number, in Obsidian Flames, the ultra rare prints of Absol ex (Pokédex number #0359) and Charizard ex (Pokédex number #0006) are numbered 214/197 and 215/197, respectively, despite both being Darkness-type Pokémon. In the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame expansion, Charizard ex does come before Absol ex.
