Destined Rivals card list, prices and set guide

Destined Rivals set overview

Destined Rivals is the tenth and last main set of the Scarlet & Violet series. It went on sale on 30 May 2025, after prerelease events on the weekends of 17 and 24 May, and it reached Pokémon TCG Live on 29 May. The set has 244 cards: a 182-card main list and 62 secret rares numbered 183/182 to 244/182.

It brought back Trainer's Pokémon with a twist: Team Rocket. 83 cards are tagged as Team Rocket's, led by Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex under Giovanni's command, and on the other side are heroes' Pokémon such as Ethan's Ho-Oh ex, Cynthia's Garchomp ex and Arven's Mabosstiff ex. Misty, Marnie and Steven have Trainer's Pokémon too. The set has 17 Pokémon ex, ten of them Trainer's Pokémon ex, and six gold-etched Hyper Rares.

The English list combines two Japanese releases, Heat Wave Arena and The Glory of Team Rocket, with the Marnie and Steven starter sets. Some of its cards went on sale before release day, in the Marnie and Steven Rival Battle Decks on 16 May 2025.

Prices by printing

TCGplayer market prices in US dollars by printing, from tcgcsv.com, collected on 9 October 2026. The headline price on each card is TCGplayer’s main listing for that card; the line under the card name splits it by printing. Holo and non-holo prints have their own rows. Rare vintage holos sell infrequently, so their market prices can lag behind recent sales.

Japanese source setHeat Wave Arena (熱風のアリーナ)Released 14 March 2025 · 92 cards · Paired with The Glory of Team Rocket.

Destined Rivals draws on two Japanese releases. Heat Wave Arena (熱風のアリーナ) came out on 14 March 2025 with 92 cards (63 + 29 secret rares); it carried the Ethan, Cynthia, Arven and Misty Trainer's Pokémon. The Glory of Team Rocket (ロケット団の栄光) followed on 18 April 2025 with 132 cards (98 + 34 secret rares), built around Team Rocket with Giovanni and Mewtwo on its packs. The English set merges both, adds the Marnie and Steven starter-set cards and a few Japanese gym promos, and moves the Team Rocket's Wobbuffet art rare into the Elite Trainer Box. Japanese secret rares use the AR, SR, SAR and UR labels, where the English set uses IR, UR, SIR and HR.

Destined Rivals products and sealed prices

Everything below launched with the set on 30 May 2025 except the Build & Battle Box, which came first at prerelease events. For the first time since XY Evolutions, the Build & Battle decks were not built around Black Star Promos: each held a stamped holofoil print of Ethan's Typhlosion, Misty's Gyarados, Team Rocket's Mimikyu or Team Rocket's Tyranitar from the set. The Elite Trainer Boxes, in red and black with Giovanni and Mewtwo, carry a Team Rocket's Wobbuffet promo (SVP 203); the Pokémon Center version adds two packs and a second Wobbuffet. On launch day GameStop and Best Buy in the US gave promos of Team Rocket's Zapdos and Team Rocket's Articuno with Pokémon TCG purchases of $15 or more, and the Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Box followed on 13 June 2025. Sealed prices are market prices from the same snapshot as the singles.
