Destined Rivals Booster Pack - SV10: Destined Rivals (DRI)

Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare — one of the most expensive single cards in the entire Scarlet & Violet era — is waiting somewhere inside Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals (SV10), and every pack you open is a ticket to find it.

Each booster pack contains 10 cards drawn from a 182-card base set that explodes out to 244 total cards once you count the massive 62-card Secret Rare block — the largest secrets section of any recent Scarlet & Violet release. The thematic hook is irresistible: Team Rocket is back, commanding over 45 Rocket-affiliated Pokémon and Trainer cards alongside iconic hero duos like Cynthia & Garchomp ex, Ethan & Ho-Oh ex, Arven & Mabosstiff ex, and Misty with Psyduck and Lapras.

The Secret Rare tier is built for serious collectors: 11 Special Illustration Rares, 6 Hyper Rares, 22 Ultra Rares, and 23 Illustration Rares spread across both villain and hero characters. Giovanni, Ariana, and the full Rocket roster received the modern ex and Illustration Rare treatment alongside every beloved heroic Trainer pair. The Illustration Rare tier alone punches above its weight — Misty's Psyduck IR and Ethan's Typhlosion IR trade at prices you'd normally expect from ultra rares.

What you're hunting:

• Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR (#231/182) — the marquee chase card, holding above $480 raw and cracking $900–$1,100 in PSA 10
• Cynthia's Garchomp ex SIR, Ethan's Ho-Oh ex SIR & Team Rocket's Moltres ex SIR — the next tier of top-dollar SIR pulls
• Misty's Psyduck IR & Ethan's Typhlosion IR — standout Illustration Rares with values well beyond typical IRs
• 6 Hyper Rares — the gold-card crown jewels of every box break
• Reverse Holo variants on all 182 base set cards for master-set completionists

Collectors who grew up with the original Team Rocket expansion are pulling Destined Rivals packs for the nostalgia alone — but the secondary-market prices on the SIR tier make this a genuinely compelling hunt for investors and hobbyists alike.
