Choose your side — without going all in. The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Destined Rivals Half Booster Box is the perfect mid-size entry point into one of the most thematically compelling and collector-driven expansions of the Scarlet and Violet era. With 18 booster packs delivering 180 cards in total, this is the sweet spot between the Booster Bundle and the Full Display Box — more pull potential than a Bundle, more accessible than committing to the full 36-pack experience.
Destined Rivals puts Team Rocket front and centre for the first time in the modern Pokémon TCG, evoking the spirit and energy of the iconic original Team Rocket expansion from the year 2000. The nefarious Giovanni commands a fearsome roster of Team Rocket's Pokémon — led by the legendary Mewtwo ex — while heroic Trainers like Cynthia and Garchomp ex, Ethan and Ho-Oh ex, and Arven and Mabosstiff ex stand ready to push back. The expansion features over 240 cards including more than 85 Trainer's Pokémon, over 45 Team Rocket's Pokémon, 15+ Pokémon ex, and over 45 cards with special illustrations — making it one of the richest sets for both competitive players and serious collectors alike.
With 18 packs, you have a meaningful and genuine shot at landing Special Illustration Rares, Illustration Rares and Secret Rares from a checklist that has been consistently praised as one of the strongest of the entire Scarlet and Violet era. The Team Rocket-themed SIRs in particular have driven enormous excitement in the collector community, and 18 packs represents a solid opening experience with real pull potential across the full breadth of the set.
An ideal choice for collectors who want more than a bundle, players looking to build or expand their competitive Destined Rivals deck, and anyone who wants to experience one of 2025's landmark sets at an accessible price point.
