Why does Victini appear as a Black White Rare in Black Bolt?
That print never came from a Japanese booster. In Japan it is promo 288/SV-P, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, awarded at the Victini BWR Tournament events held from 14 June to 31 August 2025 and to 2,000 winners of the deck building lottery run over the same period; the international release put it into both Black Bolt and White Flare as a Black White Rare.
