Within the context of the Pokémon TCG, Mythical Pokémon Genesect is best known for its role in the Virizion ex/Genesect ex deck which was the clear Best Deck in Format (BDIF) in the 2013-14 Pokémon TCG tournament season. However, with the release of the Genesect ex card from Black Bolt [SV11B], there’s now a version of a card featuring the Bug/Steel-type Pokémon which will appeal to collectors as well.

About Genesect ex (Black Bolt [SV11B] 172/086)

The Full Art illustration of this Special Art Rare (SAR) card depicts Genesect ex in a menacing pose, preparing to launch an attack. The card’s background features red lighting—perhaps indicating that Genesect ex is equipped with the Burn Drive, one of four items from the Pokémon video games which can be used to manipulate the type of Techno Blast, Genesect’s signature attack.

Being a card of the SAR rarity, this card inherently carries some degree of value. Additionally, since Genesect ex is part of Black Bolt [SV11B], part of a dual set designed to cater to Gen 5 nostalgia, those who grew up with Gen 5 are more likely to take an interest in this card.

Release Details

This card will be released in English on 18 July 2025 as part of Black Bolt [BLK].

The price of a Genesect ex (Black Bolt [SV11B] 172/086) card is 3,000 JPY (~US$21).
