Black Bolt was released alongside White Flare — the paired set shares its release window and era, while Black Bolt has its own checklist and its own top secret-rarity card.
SV11B “Black Bolt” released in Japan on June 6, 2025. Its checklist tops out at UR (Ultra Rare), with Zekrom ex occupying the final numbered position in the SV11B checklist.
This guide covers exactly what’s in an SV11B Black Bolt box, which cards make up the chase tier, how Regular Box, Damaged Box, and No Shrink are handled on our site for this specific set, and what the Japanese-vs-English situation actually looks like for Black Bolt. We ship Japanese sealed product and PSA10-graded singles out of Tokyo, so the listings below reflect what’s currently posted on our site.
SV11B Black Bolt is a 174-card set (20 packs per box, 7 张/包) topped by a UR (Ultra Rare) tier held by a single card — Zekrom ex. The SV11B-Black Bolt Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥22,472 (~$141), and the Damaged Box listing is currently priced at ¥23,520 (~$148) — higher than the regular box, not lower, so check both listings before assuming which is the cheaper option.
Prices below are our current listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
What’s in a Black Bolt Box
| 商品 | Value |
|---|---|
| Set code | SV11B |
| Set name (bilingual) | Black Bolt (paired release with White Flare / SV11W) |
| Japan release date | June 6, 2025 |
| Packs per box | 20 |
| Cards per pack | 7 |
| Total cards in set | 174 |
The 174-card checklist splits into a base portion and a secret-rarity tier that sits above it:
| Tier | Card numbers | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Base checklist | 1–86 | 86 |
| AR Art Rare | 87–158 | 72 |
| SR Secret Rare | 159–166 | 8 |
| SAR Special Art Rare | 167–173 | 7 |
| UR Ultra Rare | 174 | 1 |
The Art Rare tier runs one full-art card per Unova-region species in the base checklist — 72 in total, including Pokémon such as Victini.
The UR tier sits at the top of the checklist. In Black Bolt, exactly one card carries it — see the chase-card section below.
We don’t publish pull-rate figures for this box: the source data our own Black Bolt pull rates and best cards guide works from is community-reported opening data rather than an official rate published by The Pokemon Company, so that discussion stays contained to that article rather than being restated here. For the full 174-card breakdown card by card, see our SV11B Black Bolt complete card list.
Chase Cards in Black Bolt (SV11B)
Black Bolt’s secret-rarity tier covers six Pokémon plus two Trainer cards at SR, six Pokémon plus one Trainer card at SAR, and Zekrom ex at UR:
- Serperior ex, Kyurem ex, Zekrom ex, Meloetta ex, Excadrill ex, and Genesect ex each appear at both SR and SAR.
- N’s Plot, a Trainer card, also appears at both SR and SAR.
- Fennel is SR-only in this set — there is no SAR printing of Fennel in Black Bolt.
- Zekrom ex is the only card in the set to reach UR, at card 174/086.
Zekrom ex — the set’s sole UR
Zekrom ex is the card the set’s UR tier is built around. Being the only UR in Black Bolt puts it at the top of the set’s rarity ladder outright — there’s no higher tier above it in this checklist. Zekrom ex also has a SAR printing at 169/086, one step down the ladder:
Genesect ex — SR and SAR, both currently listed
Genesect ex has PSA10 listings at both secret-rarity levels: the PSA10 Genesect ex SAR (172/086) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), currently listed at ¥8,800 (~$55), and the PSA10 Genesect ex SR (164/086), currently listed at ¥5,775 (~$36). The SR-to-SAR price gap on the same Pokémon is a useful reference point for how the two listings compare.
Serperior ex — SAR
Serperior ex 167/086 is not listed as a single on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through 快速下单. Kyurem ex, Meloetta ex, Excadrill ex and N’s Plot are likewise not listed in either their SR or SAR treatments, while Fennel’s SR is not listed. The sealed box is the purchase route for opening cards from the set.
Regular Box vs Damaged Box vs No Shrink on Our Site
We list sealed Japanese boxes under a few different conditions, and the naming is consistent across sets, but the pricing between conditions isn’t always what you’d expect. For SV11B Black Bolt specifically:
| Listing | 价格 |
|---|---|
| SV11B-Black Bolt Japanese Pokemon Booster Box (Regular) | currently listed at ¥22,472 (~$141) |
| SV11B-Black Bolt Japanese Pokemon Booster Box — Damaged Box | currently listed at ¥23,520 (~$148) |
| 无收缩膜 | not currently listed for this set |
For Black Bolt, the Damaged Box is listed higher than the regular box — ¥23,520 versus ¥22,472. 状态 labels do not determine the relative price; check both product pages directly.
A “Damaged Box” on our site refers to the outer box carton showing cosmetic damage — a dent, a crushed corner, shelf wear — while the packs and cards inside remain sealed. It’s a separate condition-based listing from a set’s regular box, and the two products are priced independently rather than by a fixed discount rule. For a broader look at how we frame Regular-vs-Damaged pairs on other sets, see our OP-16 Regular vs Damaged Box guide — a different franchise, but the same listing logic applies.
One more product to keep separate from either of the above: the SV11B-Black Bolt DX Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, currently listed at ¥20,600 (~$130). “DX” here is its own distinct product line, not a condition variant of the regular box — don’t conflate it with the Damaged Box listing above.
Where to Buy a Black Bolt Booster Box from Tokyo
We ship sealed SV11B Black Bolt boxes and PSA10-graded singles worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. The regular box, the Damaged Box listing, and the separate DX box are all currently listed — compare the product pages directly because their prices are set independently.
For singles, the PSA10 Genesect ex SAR (172/086) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) and PSA10 Genesect ex SR (164/086) are currently listed. For Zekrom ex, Serperior ex, or any other Black Bolt secret not shown above, the Quick Order page is the fastest way to flag what you’re after or build a mixed order.

The full checklist is on our SV11B Black Bolt card list, and community-sourced pull data lives in our Black Bolt pull rates and best cards guide.
常见问题
How many cards are in the Black Bolt (SV11B) set?
174 cards total: an 86-card base checklist, 72 Art Rares (87–158), 8 Secret Rares (159–166), 7 Special Art Rares (167–173), and 1 Ultra Rare (174).
What is the UR (Ultra Rare) card in Black Bolt?
UR is the top secret-rarity tier in the Black Bolt checklist. In Black Bolt, only one card carries it: Zekrom ex at 174/086.
Is there a standalone English booster box for Black Bolt?
No. English products include Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Bundles alongside other collection formats, but no standalone English booster box. The Japanese SV11B booster box is the booster-box format covered here.
Is the Damaged Box cheaper than the regular Black Bolt box?
Not currently. As of this guide, the Damaged Box listing (¥23,520 / ~$148) is priced higher than the regular box (¥22,472 / ~$141) — the opposite of what’s typical on other sets. Always check both product pages before assuming which is the lower-priced option.
What’s the difference between the Damaged Box and the DX box?
They’re unrelated products. Damaged Box refers to a condition — a regular Black Bolt box with cosmetic carton damage, sealed contents intact. The DX box is a separate product line entirely, not a condition variant, and is priced and listed independently.
Which cards should I look for when opening a Black Bolt box?
The secret-rarity run covers Serperior ex, Kyurem ex, Zekrom ex, Meloetta ex, Excadrill ex, Genesect ex, and the Trainer card N’s Plot at both SR and SAR, plus Fennel at SR only. Zekrom ex is the set’s sole UR at 174/086, sitting at the top of the rarity ladder.
