🃏 What's Inside a Phantasmal Flames Sleeved Booster Pack?
Every Phantasmal Flames Sleeved Booster Pack is drawn from the full 130-card set pool, giving each pack a genuine chance at every rarity — including the set's most prized pulls:
🛡️ Why the Sleeved Booster Pack Format?
🛡️ Protective Hanger Sleeve — Tamper-Evident & Retail-Safe
- The cardboard hanger sleeve provides extra protection against bends, tears, and retail damage — your pack arrives in pristine condition every time
- Tamper-evident packaging ensures the pack has not been mapped or weighed from a fixed booster box distribution — you're opening a genuinely random retail pack
- The hanger format is ideal for display, peg-hook retail, or gift-wrapping — the set's dramatic pack art makes even the sleeve worth keeping
★ Identical Card Pool — Full Chase Eligibility
- The Phantasmal Flames Sleeved Booster Pack is drawn from the exact same card pool as packs inside the Booster Bundle, Elite Trainer Box, and Booster Display Box
- Every pull rate is identical to any pack in a sealed box — every sleeved pack has the same statistical chance at the Mega Charizard X ex SIR, Dawn SIR, Mega Hyper Rare gold card, or any other chase pull
- The protective sleeve format does not alter pack contents, randomisation, or pull rates in any way
⚡ Why Phantasmal Flames Is a Chase-Worthy Set
🔥 Mega Charizard X ex — The Defining Charizard Card of the Mega Evolution Era
- Mega Charizard X ex is the set's headline — a Fire/Dragon-type with 360 HP and the devastating Inferno X attack scaling with Fire Energy discarded
- The iconic blue-flame aesthetic of its Shiny form makes this one of the most visually striking and collectible Charizard cards in Pokémon TCG history
- Appears across multiple rarities including the Special Illustration Rare (SIR) and the Mega Hyper Rare gold card — the single rarest card in the set at approximately 1 in 1,000–1,260 packs
👻 Dawn's First Ever Solo Trainer Card & Mega Gengar ex
- Phantasmal Flames features the first-ever solo Supporter card fully featuring Dawn — the beloved Pokémon Coordinator from Diamond & Pearl — despite her iconic status in the franchise since 2006
- The Dawn SIR is driven by both player demand (powerful deck-search effect) and the nostalgia of a generation of fans who grew up with her in the anime
- Mega Gengar ex rises through purple phantom flames — Ghost/Poison type with Shadow Hiding ability and strong SIR collector appeal across all fan communities
🔥 Secret Rares in BOTH Pack Slots — Double the Excitement
- Phantasmal Flames activates Secret Rares in both the rare AND the reverse holo slot — a format first that dramatically increases high-rarity pull excitement per pack
- This means every pack has two independent chances to yield a high-rarity card rather than the traditional single slot
- Whether opening one sleeved pack or fifty, this dual-slot system keeps every single open thrilling
