《寶可夢集換式卡牌 朱＆紫 強化擴充包：漆黑伏特（Black Bolt）》 是日本寶可夢卡牌「朱／紫 Era」的第十一彈，同時也是此世代的最終卡牌系列。這一彈與其姊妹作《純白閃焰》（White Flare）成對推出，主題緊扣《黑／白》與《黑2／白2》的舞台——合眾地區（Unova）。在 Pokémon 系列中，合眾象徵著世代革新、城市與自然並存的龐大世界，而這次完整收錄「合眾 156 種寶可夢」的做法，也讓「漆黑伏特」成為極具紀念性的一款商品。

在世界觀呈現方面，「漆黑伏特」以 捷克羅姆（Zekrom） 作為全套核心概念，卡面風格強調雷電、黑色能量與力量凝聚的視覺語言。與 2010 年的《Black Collection》不同，本系列不再只是懷舊再現，而是利用現代卡牌作畫技術，將合眾的力量象徵與 Zekrom 的強大神話性重建為高度藝術化的 AR 及 SR 卡面。所有寶可夢卡片都有對應的秘密稀有版本，也讓收藏家在組成完整卡圖時能更完整感受合眾的冒險氣氛與角色群像。

此系列的最大亮點，是首次登場的全新稀有度 「BWR（Black White Rare）」。這種稀有度採用極簡卻強烈的單色背景，搭配高密度的特殊 holo 技法，呈現出極具收藏價值的實驗風格。官方只有兩張卡片被授予此稀有度，分別是：捷克羅姆 ex（屬於漆黑伏特）、萊希拉姆 ex（屬於純白烈焰），其地位幾乎等同於系列精神象徵，在玩家與收藏圈中造成巨大話題。

在商品設計方面，這次的擴充包提供一般包與豪華包兩種。一般包售價 $290 日圓，一包 7 張卡，其中至少兩張為 holo 等級。而豪華包「Deluxe Pack」則一包 35 張，以$ 1,450日圓售價附上保證一張 AR 以上稀有卡的機制，等於每開都能看到高級作畫卡片，讓卡包的價值感大幅提升。此外，同步推出的 「Black Bolt／White Flare 卡冊套組」 隨附可收納 156 張卡片的 3 孔卡冊與 Victini 的特典卡，再加上雙系列各 3 包，組成易入手又極具展示性的收藏組合。

從遊戲性角度來看，「漆黑伏特」與「純白閃焰」也被用於官方推出的特殊構築規則——「黑白決鬥賽（暫譯）」。玩家只能使用這兩套系列與基本能量卡來組牌，透過限定環境突顯合眾 156 隻寶可夢的搭配策略。捷克羅姆與萊希拉姆的雙主題對抗設定，也讓許多玩家在玩法與收藏兩方面都感受到黑白世代的鮮明風格。

上市後的市場評價相當熱烈。因為此系列具備「朱／紫 Era 最終彈」的象徵性，加上囊括合眾全圖鑑、有多達 156 張 AR 以上秘稀卡，且首次導入 BWR 稀有度，許多玩家認為它是近年最具收藏意義的擴充包之一。豪華包確保 AR 的規則也被玩家視為誠意十足的設計，使這系列在預售階段便出現大量搶購潮。加上 2025 年同步推出繁中版與韓文版，更推動亞洲市場的整體熱度。

總結來說，「漆黑伏特」不僅是寶可夢卡牌重返合眾世代的重大企劃，也是藝術卡面、稀有度創新與世代收束的集大成之作。無論對收藏家、玩家或是合眾粉絲而言，這套卡包都象徵著一段完整世界的重現與告別，也成為朱／紫 Era 最具紀念價值的壓軸商品之一。

Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet – Black Bolt is part of a paired Japanese expansion released alongside White Flare, forming the final set of the Scarlet & Violet era. Released in Japan on June 6, 2025, Black Bolt focuses on the Unova region and features all 156 Pokémon originally introduced in Generation V, each receiving at least one special illustration card, such as an Art Rare or a higher-tier secret rare. This gives the entire expansion a distinctly collectible appeal, especially for players who grew up with Pokémon Black & White.

The theme of the set draws clear inspiration from the original games. Instead of following the older “Black Collection / White Collection” format, Black Bolt places Zekrom at the center of its visual identity, giving the set a darker, electric aesthetic that echoes its legendary mascot. The expansion reintroduces Tinsel Holofoil cards, which had long been absent from the series, offering a nostalgic reflective pattern that stands out from modern holo styles.

One of the most notable innovations of Black Bolt and its sister set is the introduction of a brand-new rarity, BWR (Black White Rare). These cards feature monochrome visual designs with highly stylized holo treatments, using a single bold color background to create a striking contrast. Only two cards carry this rarity—Zekrom ex in Black Bolt and Reshiram ex in White Flare—making them extremely scarce and instantly desirable among collectors.

The product lineup offers both regular booster packs and larger deluxe boosters. Regular packs contain seven cards with two guaranteed holos, while the deluxe version includes thirty-five cards with at least one Art Rare or better, appealing to players who want higher-value pulls. A special Black Bolt / White Flare Card File Set was also released simultaneously, including a three-pocket binder capable of storing all 156 Unova Pokémon, along with a Victini promotional card and three boosters from each set. The expansion later launched in Traditional Chinese on June 20, 2025, and in Korean on August 1, 2025, further expanding its collector base.

Gameplay-wise, the expansion is also tied to a special deck-building regulation called the Black Bolt・White Flare Format, which restricts deck construction to cards found within the two sets and basic energy. This encourages experimental gameplay strategies unique to Unova-themed builds, offering a fresh competitive environment distinct from standard play.

In terms of market reception, Black Bolt immediately triggered strong enthusiasm from both players and collectors. The complete inclusion of every Unova Pokémon, combined with guaranteed Art Rares in deluxe boosters and the debut of the BWR rarity, made the expansion highly sought after from its announcement. Pre-orders for booster boxes sold out quickly in Japan, and card collectors praised the high-quality illustrations—many of which offered full-art interpretations that revitalized longstanding fan favorites like Zoroark, Chandelure, Haxorus, and Serperior. The return of Tinsel Holofoil was also welcomed as a nostalgic callback to older Japanese sets, giving Black Bolt a unique blend of classic aesthetics and modern card design.

Because this is the last expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, many fans view Black Bolt as a commemorative release—one that not only concludes an era but also pays tribute to the region that revived Pokémon for an entire generation in 2010. As a result, sealed products—especially the deluxe packs and card file set—have begun rising in value even before the wider Asian release.
