Our take on the Destined Rivals

Destined Rivals is a Scarlet & Violet expansion built around a Team Rocket storyline, with Trainers choosing sides between heroes like Cynthia and Garchomp ex and villains like Giovanni and Mewtwo ex. This is a 36-pack booster box of English-language packs, 10 cards per pack, aimed at players and collectors who want a large opening session or enough cards to build and trade. It sits alongside other Scarlet & Violet sets rather than replacing them, and the draw here is the Team Rocket theme and the ex cards tied to it. Buyers of this set have complained loudly about scalpers and resale pricing far above the manufacturer's suggested price, which has made sealed product hard to get for kids and casual players.

Pros
  • 36 packs gives a large pool of cards for building and trading
  • Team Rocket storyline gives the set a clear identity among Scarlet & Violet expansions
  • 10 cards per pack, English language, standard TCG card size
  • Officially rated for ages 6 and up
  • Sealed box format suits drafting and sealed play
Cons
  • Scalpers and resale markups have made sealed product hard to find at a fair price
  • Complaints that inflated pricing puts it out of reach for kids
  • Booster boxes are a gamble: no guaranteed specific ex or chase card
  • Large box is a big commitment for a casual collector

What reviewers say

Buyers of this set are frustrated less with the cards than with how it reaches them: reviewers complain that resellers snap up stock and list it far above the suggested retail price, which they say makes it unaffordable for kids.
