Obsidian Flames Singles in Australia — Charizard ex & More
Quick answer: Obsidian Flames is the /197 expansion built around Terastal Charizard ex, and it is the set Australians most often buy as singles rather than sealed. We list near-mint illustration rares, ultra rares, special illustration rares and hyper rares from the set in AUD.
- Charizard ex is the whole story. The set prints it at more than one number — 223/197, 228/197 and 215/197 are different treatments at different prices.
- Strong support cast: Pidgeot ex 225/197, Tyranitar ex 211/197 and Ninetales 199/197.
- Singles beat packs for a named Charizard. No sealed product reliably produces a specific Charizard ex print.
- Cheap entry points exist — the lower illustration rares from this set are among the most affordable full-art cards of the era.
- Published delivery rates: Australia Post Standard A$10, Express A$15, signature on delivery A$3, and free standard shipping on orders of A$200 and over.

About Obsidian Flames
Obsidian Flames is the Scarlet & Violet expansion that put Terastal Charizard ex on the market, and that single card is why the set still sells years into the era. It is also why the set is worth buying as singles: opening packs to chase one specific Charizard print is the expensive way to get it.
The grid above is the current stock. The notes below deal with the one thing that costs Australian buyers money on this set — buying the wrong Charizard number.
There is more than one Charizard ex in this set
Three prints, three very different cards. Charizard ex 215/197 is the ultra rare, Charizard ex 223/197 is the special illustration rare, and Charizard ex 228/197 is the hyper rare gold print. They share a name and nothing else. Before you buy, decide which treatment you want and match the number — that is the difference between a card you are happy with and a return request.
The rest of the set is where the value sits
Because Charizard absorbs the attention, the other rares in Obsidian Flames are often the better buy for a collector filling a binder. Pidgeot ex 225/197 and Tyranitar ex 211/197 are strong ex prints, and the illustration rares — Cleffa, Gloom, Larvitar, Houndour and Scizor among them — carry the same full-art treatment at a fraction of the headline price. Why those gaps exist is covered in how Pokémon card prices work in Australia.
Singles, sealed or graded?
- A named card: buy the single. Guaranteed outcome, known AUD price.
- Opening for fun: buy current sealed from English booster boxes — older sealed product is scarce.
- Condition certainty: consider graded slabs, and read PSA vs CGC vs TAG first.

Browse English singlesObsidian Flames — buyer questions
- Which Charizard ex should I buy from Obsidian Flames?
- It depends on the look you want: 215/197 is the ultra rare, 223/197 is the special illustration rare and 228/197 is the gold hyper rare. Match the card number in the listing title to the treatment you are after.
- Is it cheaper to open packs or buy the Charizard single?
- For a specific print, the single is cheaper and certain. Sealed product gives you a chance at it, not a guarantee, and older sealed stock is limited.
- Are Obsidian Flames cards tournament legal in Australia?
- These are English cards and are playable as printed while the set remains in rotation, which Pokémon organised play determines rather than us.
- What condition are the singles in?
- Near mint with no major defects unless the listing states otherwise, sleeved and shipped in rigid protection.
