What are the key facts for Reshiram ex in White Flare?

Reshiram ex is a Japanese-edition card from set code SV11W, released June 6, 2025, with four verified prints. The table below gives the names, dates and prices that the official pages and our product pages state.

What is Reshiram ex in White Flare (SV11W)?

Reshiram ex is the featured Pokémon ex of the Japanese expansion White Flare, and the Pokémon Card site presents it as the BWR card of the set. The official announcement says its design is mainly white, symbolizing the White Flare name, while Zekrom ex is the black-based BWR in the companion set Black Bolt (source).

White Flare and Black Bolt launched together on June 6, 2025. The official SV11 page lists the formats below (official SV11 page).

The set is built around Unova Pokémon. The official page says it features 156 Pokémon, that each of them has an AR or SAR card, and that each Deluxe pack contains one AR card. Reshiram ex carries the BWR rarity, which the official page names as the special-illustration rarity for both Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex.

That makes the card relevant to three kinds of readers: players who want the RR for decks, set collectors who want all four prints, and graded-card buyers who look at the SR, SAR and BWR. The sections below take them in that order. For the wider set picture, see our guide to White Flare rare cards: AR, SR, SAR and BWR.

Which Reshiram ex cards are in the White Flare set?

Four Reshiram ex prints are verified in White Flare: an RR at 017/086, an SR at 160/086, an SAR at 168/086 and a BWR at 174/086. The RR comes from the official card database; the other three come from our own PSA 10 listings, which carry the set code and number in their names.

Three of the four prints carry a number above 086: 160, 168 and 174. Our listing page for the set shows 174 cards in total, and the BWR is number 174. The booster box product pages list 86 card types, which matches the 086 printed after the slash.

The nearby SR number 159/086 belongs to a different card, Whimsicott ex (HP 230, illustrator 5ban Graphics), according to the official database. Keep that in mind when you search by number, because 159 and 160 are neighbours but not the same Pokémon.

Other White Flare cards named in the official announcement include Stoutland, Herdier, Lillipup, Energy Recovery, Ignition Energy, Cheren and Touko. We do not repeat the whole set here; the SV11W card list page is the place for that.

What does the BWR rarity mean for Reshiram ex in White Flare?

BWR is the special-illustration rarity used for Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex in the Black Bolt and White Flare pair, and Reshiram ex is the BWR in White Flare. The official site lists BWR next to AR and SAR among the rarities it names for this expansion.

The BWR card is numbered 174/086, the same number as the 174-card total on our listing page, and the official announcement describes its design as mainly white. Zekrom ex is the black-based BWR in Black Bolt, so the two cards work as a pair.

Reshiram ex has both an SAR at 168/086 and a BWR at 174/086. The official site names SAR as Special Art Rare and BWR as the special-illustration rarity of Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex. If you want just one of the two, choose by artwork preference and budget; the price gap is shown in the comparison section below.

Pull odds for any of these are not published in the sources we use, so we do not quote any. If you want the rarity logic for the whole set, the SV11W chase cards guide goes through it.

How does the Reshiram ex RR 017/086 play?

The RR Reshiram ex is a Basic Pokémon ex with 230 HP and two attacks: Slash for 50 damage and Blaze Burst for 130 plus 50 more for each Prize card the opponent has already taken. After Blaze Burst you discard 1 Energy attached to Reshiram ex. These details come from the official card database entry, where the illustrator is credited as 5ban Graphics.

The scaling is simple arithmetic. Blaze Burst deals 130 with no Prize cards taken, 180 with one, 230 with two and 280 with three. The 230 figure matches Reshiram ex’s own HP, so a Blaze Burst with two Prize cards taken reaches that mark.

Two rules shape how you use it. First, as a Pokémon ex, Reshiram ex gives the opponent 2 Prize cards when it is Knocked Out, so it is a card you want to protect. Second, the card has a weakness of ×2. The discard cost on Blaze Burst also means the attack is not free to repeat, so you need a plan to reattach Energy.

Slash is the cheaper option in damage terms: at 50 damage, it would take five uses to pass 230 HP, which is why the Blaze Burst line is the one that defines the card. Blaze Burst rewards a game that is already well advanced, because each Prize card the opponent has taken adds 50.

The attack text above is our rendering of the Japanese card. The English attack names used here, Slash and Blaze Burst, are renderings rather than names from an official English card, because this is the Japanese edition. The official set page also notes that a separate deck-building format uses Black Bolt and White Flare cards, which is the format you would check if you plan to play the RR.

The RR carries the same illustrator credit as the nearby Whimsicott ex SR, so 5ban Graphics is credited on at least two of the ex cards in this set.

How do the SR, SAR and BWR Reshiram ex prints compare?

The three higher Reshiram ex prints differ mainly in rarity tier and in the price at which we offer their PSA 10 copies. The SR is offered at ¥6,211, the SAR at ¥40,338 and the BWR at ¥109,718. These are our asking prices as read on November 11, 2026, not market sales data.

The BWR price is roughly 2.7 times the SAR price, and the SAR price is roughly 6.5 times the SR price. We make no claim about where these prices will go; they are a snapshot of three asking prices.

A PSA 10 back order means the slab is sourced after you order, not held on a shelf. Our shipping policy says PSA graded cards may also be sold through other channels, so an item shown online can be taken before the allocation is locked; once payment clears, we secure the matching graded card even if more sourcing is needed, and dispatch may take longer in that situation.

The listing descriptions explain the grade: PSA 10 is Gem Mint, the highest grade certifiable by Professional Sports Authenticator, awarded to cards in flawless, gem mint condition. The same descriptions note that the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface.

How to choose between them:

• Choose the SR 160/086 if you want a graded Reshiram ex at a lower price than the SAR or BWR within our three listings.
• Choose the SAR 168/086 if you want the special art rare and the middle price tier.
• Choose the BWR 174/086 if you want the card the official site calls out as the white-designed BWR of the set, and the price tier that goes with it.

Look at the photos on each product page before you decide, since the case condition can vary. Our SV11W chase cards guide puts these three beside the other graded White Flare singles.

Which Reshiram ex print should a player, set collector or graded buyer pick?

Pick by purpose: the RR 017/086 for a deck, all four prints for a complete Reshiram ex set, and the SR, SAR or BWR in PSA 10 for a graded display. Each print serves a different reader, and the facts above give a clear order for each.

If you play. The RR is the card with a verified attack line: 230 HP, Slash for 50 and Blaze Burst for 130+. The official database entry we cite for gameplay is the RR, so start there and check the card text in your own copy. Remember the Prize rule: knocking out Reshiram ex gives the opponent 2 Prize cards, and Blaze Burst gets stronger as the opponent takes Prize cards.

If you collect the set. A complete Reshiram ex run in White Flare means four cards: 017/086, 160/086, 168/086 and 174/086. Use the White Flare card list to see where they sit among the 174 cards.

If you buy graded. The SR, SAR and BWR each have a PSA 10 listing from us as a back order. The price gap between them is large, as the table above shows, so decide the budget first and the rarity second. A graded copy is also the direct route to one specific print, while a box cannot promise any single card.

One more choice: the Black Bolt side. If you like the pairing, Zekrom ex is the BWR there. We list White Flare cards here and do not mix in Black Bolt numbers, because the official announcement gives the Zekrom ex rarity but we have no Black Bolt card numbers to cite.

How is Reshiram ex different from N’s Reshiram?

Reshiram ex and N’s Reshiram are different cards: Reshiram ex is a Pokémon ex with 230 HP from White Flare, while N’s Reshiram is a 130 HP Basic from Battle Partners and later reprints. Searches for “Reshiram” often mix the two, so check the card name and set code before you buy.

The data for N’s Reshiram comes from the official database pages for 074/100, 109/100, 128/193 and 545/742. The practical gap is clear: the N’s Reshiram entries above carry 130 HP rather than 230, and their set codes are SV9, M2a and MC, not SV11W.

If you are hunting N’s Reshiram, our separate guide covers its prints: N’s Reshiram PSA 10 Japanese Pokemon card. That is the right page for Battle Partners, MEGA Dream ex and Start Deck 100 copies.

Which White Flare boxes name Reshiram ex as a key card?

Both the standard White Flare booster box and the DX booster box list SAR Reshiram ex among their key cards. The product pages name SAR Reshiram ex, SAR Hilda’s Passion, SR Zekrom ex, AR Litwick and the UR ACE SPEC Flame Gold as the key cards of the set.

Both boxes hold 140 cards, but they split them differently. The standard box gives you 20 small packs of 7; the DX box gives you 4 deluxe packs of 35, with one Art Rare card in each pack, matching the official Deluxe description. Both are Japanese Original Edition, Expansion Pack products released on June 6, 2025. The product pages list 86 card types, including Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Double Rares (RR), Art Rares, Super Art Rares, Ultra Rares and the Ace Spec cards.

The official pack prices give a simple face-value check. Twenty Expansion Packs at 290 yen come to 5,800 yen, and four Deluxe packs at 1,450 yen also come to 5,800 yen, so the two box formats start from the same pack-price total. Our listed box prices are shown in the buying section below and are shop prices, not official ones.

Boxes are randomized. The product pages state that individual card pulls are not guaranteed, so a box is a way to open the set, not a way to secure a particular Reshiram ex print. If you specifically want one print, the graded single is the direct route; if you want the experience of opening White Flare, a box is the route. Our White Flare Japanese booster box guide explains the box contents in more depth.

Where can I buy Reshiram ex White Flare cards and boxes?
