Obsidian Flames is a Scarlet & Violet expansion in the English-language Pokémon TCG, with set code OBF. It runs 197 official cards, plus 33 secret cards numbered above that count, for a catalog of 230 printings. It released on August 11, 2023. What defines it is Charizard ex, which appears in four different printings, alongside Lechonk, also printed four times, and several three-printing names such as Bellibolt, Eiscue ex and Geeta. By type the card list leans on Colorless, Grass, Psychic and Fighting Pokémon.
The Obsidian Flames rarity ladder moves from common and uncommon through rare into 54 chase-tier cards: double rares, ultra rares, illustration rares, special illustration rares and three hyper rares, with the secret cards sitting past the printed 197. The most valuable cards start with the Special illustration rare Charizard ex by AKIRA EGAWA, followed by the Illustration rare Cleffa by HYOGONOSUKE and the Illustration rare Ninetales by SIE NANAHARA. The Hyper rare Charizard ex, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, ranks 4th. The top five cards hold 50 percent of the set's total card value.
As of October 2026, Obsidian Flames ranks 15th by total card value among the 16 comparable Scarlet & Violet sets, at about 0.4 times the era median, and 120th across all 130 comparable sets in the game. Its single most valuable card ranks 13th in the era and its trading activity ranks 12th. At 197 printed cards it is larger than the era median of 164. It followed Paldea Evolved and came before 151, and both hold more total value. Its cards first appeared in Japan in SV3: Ruler of the Black Flame, released July 28, 2023.

A full Obsidian Flames master set means 230 printings, and all 230 are priced. Because the top five cards hold half the set's total card value, the cost of completing it depends mostly on the Charizard ex versions and a few illustration rares, while the rest of the card list is far cheaper to assemble. The sealed line has 24 products, including the booster box, booster bundle, booster case, Elite Trainer Boxes, Build & Battle Boxes, blisters and booster packs.
