Special Notes

Other things to note regarding Obsidian Flames.

This set is based on the following Japanese TCG sets: Ruler of the Black Flame, ex Starter Decks and ex Special Sets. Also, there is expected to be 30 cards that were cut from Paldea Evolved.

The Charizard ex’s Darkness type and Tyranitar ex’s Lightning type are a reference to their Delta Species cards. These cards were release in 2006.

We are also expected to get a Charizard ex in Pokemon Card 151. This set is expected to be release in this Winter’s special TCG set.

Best of luck in your pulls for Paldea Evolved and anything else this summer!
