About Freeze Bolt
What Freeze Bolt is
Freeze Bolt is one half of the sixth expansion block of the BW era in Japan, released on July 13, 2012 alongside Cold Flare. It has 59 numbered cards plus 6 secret rares for 65 in total, and the two halves became the 153 card English Boundaries Crossed on November 7, 2012. The block introduced ACE SPEC cards, powerful Items limited to one per deck and marked with holofoil borders and red Trainer text. Freeze Bolt is the Black Kyurem side, with Black Kyurem EX, Landorus EX and Cresselia EX carrying full art secret prints and Cheren and Golurk rounding out the secret slate.
What makes Freeze Bolt different
- ACE SPEC debut This block brought the first ACE SPEC Items, including Computer Search and Crystal Edge, a rule that returned more than a decade later in the Scarlet & Violet era.
- Black Kyurem half Freeze Bolt takes its name from Black Kyurem's move, and the full art Black Kyurem EX leads the hub ahead of Charizard and the gold Golurk.

Collecting and grading Freeze Bolt
The full art Black Kyurem EX leads in both 1st Edition and unlimited prints, followed by the holo Charizard, the gold secret Golurk, the full art Cresselia EX and Landorus EX and the full art Cheren. Liepard is the sleeper regular card. BW era Japanese holos and full arts show back edge whitening quickly, so 1st Edition copies with clean backs are the ones that hold a grading premium.
