What are the key facts about the White Flare Japanese booster box?

The White Flare Japanese booster box is set code SV11W, Japanese edition, released June 6, 2025, and our shop lists it in a regular version and a DX version. The table below gives the exact names, and each fact is tied to its source.

Item Detail
English product name SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box
Japanese name 拡張パック「ホワイトフレア」 (Pokémon Card Game Scarlet & Violet expansion pack), per the official Pokémon Card site
Set code SV11W
Edition Japanese Original Edition, Expansion Pack (wording from our product page)
Release date June 6, 2025 (2025年6月6日・金), per the official page
Regular box contents 20 packs, 7 cards per pack, 140 cards per box (our regular box page)
DX box contents 4 packs, 35 cards per pack, 140 cards per box, one AR guaranteed per pack (our DX box page; the official page states the AR guarantee for Expansion Pack Deluxe)
Card types 86, from Commons to Ace Spec cards (our product page)

One note on sourcing. The official page lists the expansion packs, the Deluxe packs and the card file set, but it does not state a box configuration. The 20-pack and 4-pack box contents in this guide come from our own product pages, and we mark them that way each time.

What is the White Flare Japanese booster box?

It is the booster box for the Japanese Scarlet & Violet expansion pack “White Flare”, released on June 6, 2025 together with “Black Bolt”. The official Pokémon Card site lists expansion packs for both names, Expansion Pack Deluxe products for both names, and a Black Bolt & White Flare Card File Set, all with the same release date.

Our product page describes the box as a sealed Japanese Pokémon SV11W-White Flare booster box that features Reshiram ex and the Fire/Dragon-type Pokémon of Generation V. Its opening line reads “Ignite the flames of the Unova region!” The official page adds that the sets cover all 156 Pokémon of the Unova (Isshu) region, with an AR for every Pokémon.

If you want the regular box, it is on our SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box page. The rest of this guide explains how that box differs from the other White Flare listings, so you can see which one fits what you want.

Our product pages label the set “Japanese Original Edition, Expansion Pack”, and the carton page states the language as Japanese. We use the same labels here so that the entity is unambiguous: set code SV11W, Japanese edition, expansion pack.

What is inside a White Flare Japanese booster box?

According to our product page, a regular White Flare box contains 20 booster packs of 7 cards each, for 140 cards in total. The DX box page lists a different structure: 4 deluxe packs of 35 cards each, which is also 140 cards.

The official page states the pack-level facts: an expansion pack has 7 cards, randomly inserted, and an Expansion Pack Deluxe has 35 cards with one AR guaranteed per pack. It lists the Japanese MSRP including tax as ¥290 per expansion pack and ¥1,450 per Deluxe pack. These are Japanese single-pack prices from the official page, not the price of our boxes.

Format Packs Cards per pack Cards per box Guaranteed content
Regular White Flare box 20 7 140 None stated; cards are randomly packed
White Flare DX box 4 35 140 One AR in every pack

Reading the table: both boxes list the same total of 140 cards, but the pack structure is different. The regular box is 20 packs of 7 cards. The DX box is 4 packs of 35 cards, and each pack is guaranteed to hold an AR according to the official page. Our product page for both boxes says the card pool includes Commons (C), Uncommons (U), Rares (R), Double Rares (RR), Art Rares (AR), Super Art Rares (SAR), Ultra Rares (UR) and Ace Spec cards, across 86 card types.

Both pages carry the same warning, and it matters: this is a sealed, randomized product. The specific cards in each box are randomly packed at the factory, and individual card pulls are not guaranteed. A box is a purchase of packs, not of specific cards.

Which cards are the chase cards in White Flare?

Our product page names five key cards: SAR Reshiram ex, SAR Hilda’s Passion, SR Zekrom ex, AR Litwick and UR ACE SPEC Flame Gold. That is the list on both the regular and DX box pages, and we do not add to it.

The official page names Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex (ゼクロムex, レシラムex) as the two featured ex cards and labels both BWR (ビーダブリューレア). It also lists AR, SAR and a Poké Ball mirror-pattern variant among the rarities. So the two sources use different rarity labels for the two featured ex cards: the official page says BWR, while our product page lists SAR Reshiram ex and SR Zekrom ex. We report each source’s label as written and do not try to merge them. The official page shows its full card list as images only, so that is where to check the exact rarity of a specific card.

Card Label on our product page Label on the official page
Reshiram ex SAR BWR
Zekrom ex SR BWR
Hilda’s Passion SAR Not named on the page
Litwick AR Not named on the page
Flame Gold UR ACE SPEC Not named on the page

One more official detail: the promo Victini in the Card File Set has an illustration that matches the AR Victini in Black Bolt. The Card File Set is covered further below.

Our box product pages also include a link to the full SV11W card list. This article is about the box, so we do not rebuild a card table here. For the terminology on the ex cards, see our explainer What Does ex Mean on Pokémon Cards?

How do the rarity labels on a White Flare box work?

Rarity labels are short codes, and our White Flare product page uses C, U, R, RR, AR, SAR, UR and Ace Spec, while the official page uses BWR for the two featured ex cards. Knowing the codes makes the box description easy to read.

Code Spelled out (from our product page)
C Common
U Uncommon
R Rare
RR Double Rare
AR Art Rare
SAR Super Art Rare
UR Ultra Rare
Ace Spec Ace Spec card
BWR ビーダブリューレア, named on the official page

The one rarity with a stated guarantee is AR in the DX packs: one per pack, per the official page. For all other rarities, neither the official page nor our product pages give a count per box, so we do not give one.

The official page also notes that the two sets include an AR for every Pokémon of the Unova region, and it lists the Poké Ball mirror-pattern variant. It does not break these down by box. For readers new to the ex naming on Pokémon cards, our guide What Does ex Mean on Pokémon Cards? explains ex, EX, ex★ and MA.

What are the White Flare damaged-box listings?

They are White Flare boxes sold at a discount because the outer box has cosmetic damage such as dents, creases, scuffs or scratches. We have three: the regular box, the DX box, and a regular box with the factory shrink wrap removed.

All of this comes from our own page text. Our pages explain that we buy large volumes of Japanese trading cards in Tokyo, that staff inspect every item against defined condition standards, and that boxes which cannot be sold as mint-condition products were separated from regular stock and are now offered at a lower price than regular products.

Listing Wrap Inner box Why it is discounted
SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box – Damaged Box Intact; the box is sealed in its original wrap Unopened Cosmetic damage to the outer box
SV11W-White Flare DX Japanese Pokemon Booster Box – Damaged Box Intact; the box is sealed in its original wrap Unopened Cosmetic damage to the outer box
【No Shrink】SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box – Damaged Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) Factory wrap removed Unopened; contents are factory-original Wrap removed, plus cosmetic damage to the outer box

Three conditions on these pages are worth stating plainly. First, the photos are samples: the first image shows the regular product so you can identify the set, and the condition photos that follow are samples of damaged boxes, so the box you receive may differ. Second, the type and extent of damage vary by item. Third, the items are sold as-is. Our pages say we do not respond to inquiries about these items, and returns and refunds are not accepted. Read that before ordering.

The sample photos below show the sort of damage the pages describe. They come from the listing galleries and are examples, not the box you will get.

What should I know before choosing a damaged White Flare box?

Know that the damage is part of what you buy: it affects the outer box, its type and extent vary, and the listing is sold as-is with no returns or refunds. Our pages say that on the wrapped listings the box is unopened and the cards inside are unaffected by the cosmetic damage.

For the listing with the wrap removed, the page says the inner box remains unopened and the contents are factory-original, and that the item is discounted both for the missing wrap and for cosmetic damage to the outer box.

  • If outer-box condition matters to you: the damaged listings are described by their cosmetic damage, and the damage differs from item to item, so the photos are only a guide.
  • If you want the wrap in place: the wrapped damaged listings state the box is sealed in its original wrap. The wrap-removed listing does not have it.
  • If you want a return path: the damaged listings are sold as-is and returns and refunds are not accepted.
  • If you want the standard White Flare format with no damage discount: look at the regular and DX listings on their own pages, which are not described as damaged items.

Because each page says the photos are samples and the actual item may differ, treat the photos in this article the same way: they show the kind of damage, not your box.

What is the White Flare Japanese booster box carton?

The carton is one full case of 12 Japanese SV11W White Flare booster boxes, shipped as the carton itself and not as 12 individual boxes. Our carton page states the purchase unit as 1 carton (case), the language as Japanese, and the shipping as from Tokyo by FedEx with a tracking number.

SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box carton listing image

This is the SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box – Carton listing. The page lists the single box (SV11W-White Flare Japanese Pokemon Booster Box) separately, and says plainly that this listing is the carton and not 12 individual boxes. As arithmetic from the regular-box numbers on our product page, 12 boxes at 20 packs each is 240 packs, and 12 boxes at 140 cards each is 1,680 cards.

The carton page does not describe any guaranteed cards. Since the contents of each box are randomly packed, the carton is a larger purchase of the same randomized product, not a route to a particular card. If you only need one box, the single-box listing is the one to look at.

What else is there for White Flare besides boxes?

The main extra item is the Black Bolt & White Flare Card File Set, a Japanese Pokémon accessory-style product for collectors following the two releases. The official page gives its details: a promo Victini (ビクティニ, Kira), a 3-pocket card file that holds 156 cards, and 3 packs each of Black Bolt and White Flare, at an MSRP of ¥2,640 including tax in Japan, released June 6, 2025.

Black Bolt & White Flare Card File Set product image

Our listing for it is the Black Bolt & White Flare Card File Set. The page describes it as a focused item for customers following the Black Bolt and White Flare releases, and as a sealed add-on that goes next to booster boxes, single cards and related set products.

The official page also states the Japanese pack prices for the pair: ¥290 for each expansion pack and ¥1,450 for each Expansion Pack Deluxe. This guide covers the White Flare side. The official page gives no box configuration for either name, so the box contents here come only from our White Flare product pages.

How does shipping work for a White Flare Japanese booster box?

Orders ship from Tokyo by FedEx with a tracking number, in either a standard or an expedited service. The details below come from our shipping policy, last updated September 8, 2026.

Topic What our shipping policy states
Standard shipping FedEx International Connect Plus, with tracking. Estimated transit after dispatch is usually 3-7 business days, an estimate and not a guaranteed date.
Expedited shipping FedEx International Priority, with tracking. Estimated transit after dispatch is usually 2-5 business days, an estimate and not a guaranteed date.
Shipping cost Calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address.
Minimum order No minimum order amount or quantity.
Handling time Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Delivery address FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so a physical address is needed.
Customs After handoff to FedEx, timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities. Customs inspections and import procedures can delay delivery.

Some points need extra care. The delivery dates shown on the website, at checkout or in carrier tools are estimates. They do not include our handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather, or destination-country delivery conditions. Business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays.

If dispatch is delayed, for example because a unit reserved for your order fails quality inspection, the policy says we will email you as soon as practical with a revised estimate. For significant dispatch delays before handoff to FedEx, we may offer the option to wait or to cancel the order with a full refund. After handoff to FedEx, the policy says transit delays are outside our control and do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund.

Once the products for your order are secured and the shipment is ready, we update the order status. You can check it through your customer account, and after dispatch you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate from your account or the shipping confirmation email.

Check your address before you pay. The policy says the customer is responsible for a complete and accurate shipping address. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders > the order. The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level stay as selected at checkout. If shipping to the new address costs more, you pay the difference before dispatch and the order is held until it is settled; if it costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made. After the shipment is scheduled, the self-service change closes.

How do I pay for a White Flare Japanese booster box?

All payments are made in Japanese yen (JPY), by Wise bank transfer, PayPal, or credit and debit card through PayPal. The details below come from our payment methods page, last updated November 5, 2026.

Method What the page states
Wise (bank transfer) The only method without the 5% payment processing fee.
PayPal Paid at checkout using your PayPal balance or linked funding sources; the 5% payment processing fee applies.
Credit and debit cards Paid through PayPal with the Debit or Credit Card button. Brands: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB; which are offered is decided by PayPal. The 5% fee applies.
PayPal Pay Later Offered and operated by PayPal where available; terms shown in PayPal’s own window are the ones that apply.

The Wise route has its own timing rules. Without a screenshot of the transfer, an order is cancelled automatically if payment has not been received within 12 hours of placing it; for orders that contain a pre-order item, that window is 3 hours. With a screenshot, you upload it within 5 days of placing the order and the order price is held for a total of 10 days, and payment must arrive before the hold ends. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout. The payment reference issued with your order, SST-{order number}, must be entered in the Wise reference field exactly as issued.

If you pay by SWIFT, a receiving fee of JPY 611 is deducted before the funds reach us, and the page asks you to add JPY 611 to your order total. It also asks you to select the OUR charge option so that correspondent bank fees are covered on your side. If the amount received is short, order processing pauses until the shortfall is paid and confirmed.

For card payments, the card form opens in PayPal’s own secure window and we never see your card number, expiry date or security code. A PayPal account is usually not required for a card payment, and your issuer may apply 3-D Secure authentication.

The page lists the interest-free Pay Later options seen at our checkout: in the United States, PayPal Pay in 4 (4 payments, one every 2 weeks); in the United Kingdom, PayPal Pay in 3 (3 monthly payments); in France, PayPal Paiement en 4X (4 monthly payments); in Italy, PayPal Paga in 3 rate (3 monthly payments); in Spain, PayPal Paga en 3 plazos (3 monthly payments); in Australia, PayPal Pay in 4 (4 fortnightly payments); and in Canada, PayPal Pay in 4 (4 payments, one every 2 weeks). In each case the first payment is at checkout. The page says availability is not guaranteed.

How do I choose between the regular, DX, damaged and carton White Flare listings?

Choose by format and condition: 20 packs of 7 cards, 4 packs of 35 cards, a box with cosmetic damage, or a case of 12 boxes. Each listing is a distinct product on its own page.

You want to… Look at Key point from the product page
Buy the standard White Flare format Regular box 20 packs of 7 cards, 140 cards
Buy the format with 35-card packs DX box 4 packs of 35 cards, one AR guaranteed per pack
Accept outer-box damage for a lower price Damaged Box listings Sold as-is, no returns or refunds, photos are samples
Buy a whole case Carton 12 boxes, shipped as the carton itself
Add a collector accessory Card File Set Promo Victini, 3-pocket file for 156 cards, 3 packs each of Black Bolt and White Flare (official page)

A short checklist before you order a White Flare Japanese booster box:

  1. Confirm the code is SV11W and the edition is Japanese Original Edition.
  2. Decide between the regular and DX structure. Both list 140 cards, but the pack structure differs.
  3. If you choose a damaged listing, read the as-is terms and the sample-photo note.
  4. Give a physical shipping address, not a P.O. Box.
  5. Remember that payment is in yen, and that PayPal and card payments carry the 5% processing fee while Wise does not.
  6. Expect handling time plus FedEx transit, and treat both as estimates.
