A Tera Pokémon ex whose type does not match the Pokémon appears for the first time in this expansion, and the publisher built the release around the idea. Charizard leads as a Darkness type that still attacks with Fire Energy, and Tyranitar, Eiscue and Vespiquen follow the same rule, which moves what each of them is weak to. Geeta, the chairwoman of the Pokémon League, and Ortega, who runs one of Team Star's squads, both get their first cards, with Poppy and Ryme beside them. Pidgeot is the quiet one among the eight Pokémon ex, its Ability taking any card out of the deck once a turn. Town Store and Pokémon League Headquarters are the two Stadiums in the numbered part, and a gold Artazon closes the set as a third. A Deck Build Box went out the same day with ten packs, a fixed run of cards to build from and a VSTAR marker, some of what it holds being Sword and Shield reprints. Ruler of the Black Flame (SV3) was released on July 28, 2023 in the Scarlet & Violet series, with 108 cards plus 33 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Charizard ex #134 (Special Art Rare), at $147.83 (median of 6 sales over 30 days, October 2, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $128.81 (median of 21 sales over 30 days, September 27, 2026).
