Unveiling Obsidian Flames: A New Era for Pokemon TCG Collectors

The Pokémon TCG universe is about to be set ablaze with the introduction of the new set, Obsidian Flames. This exciting addition to the Pokémon TCG collection is slated for release on August 11, 2023, marking a new chapter in the Pokémon TCG journey.

Obsidian Flames is not just another set; it's a game-changer. It introduces a new type of Pokémon, the Tera Type, which is bound to shake up the gameplay and collecting landscape. Tera Types are a new breed of Pokémon that are larger and more powerful than their counterparts. They are the first of their kind, and their introduction is set to redefine the dynamics of Pokémon battles.

Tera Types, introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, allow a Pokémon to change its type, adding a new layer of strategy to battles. A Pokémon's Tera Type doesn't necessarily have to match its actual type, opening up a vast array of potential combinations. This means that a fire-type Pokémon could have a water Tera Type, altering its type strengths and weaknesses when the mechanic is used.

The set also features the return of the fan-favorite Charizard, but this time, it's not just any Charizard. It's Charizard EX, a Tera Type Pokémon. This is the first time we're seeing a Tera Type Charizard, and it's sure to be a hot item among collectors and players alike.

In addition to Charizard EX, Obsidian Flames will also include other unreleased English cards. This means collectors and players can look forward to a whole new range of cards to add to their collections and use in their battles.

Why is this set a must-have for collectors? The introduction of the Tera Type is a historic moment in the Pokémon TCG universe. Being part of this new era is something every collector will want to be a part of. Plus, the return of Charizard, especially as a Tera Type, is a significant event that collectors won't want to miss.

So, mark your calendars for August 11, 2023. The Obsidian Flames set is coming, and it's bringing with it a new era of Pokémon TCG. Whether you're a collector, a player, or both, this is a set you won't want to miss.
