What makes Destined Rivals so special?
This set has everything a Pokémon collector or player could want. Destined Rivals holds more than 240 cards, and the whole set turns on an exciting choice between good and evil. Here is why you do not want to miss it:
What is in the set?
The set contains, among other things:
- More than 85 Trainer's Pokémon, including more than 45 Team Rocket's Pokémon – let your inner hero or villain out.
- More than 15 Pokémon ex – seriously strong cards that lift your decks to another level.
- More than 20 Trainer cards – new options for your deck strategy.
Good or evil? Your choice
What makes this set genuinely unique is the choice between heroes and villains. You can join forces with big Trainers such as:
- Cynthia and Garchomp ex
- Ethan and Ho-Oh ex
- Or you can side with Team Rocket through Giovanni's Mewtwo ex.
That dynamic makes for exciting battles, where you have to pick between good and evil every time. It genuinely adds something new to how the game plays.
Special rare cards
Like every set, Destined Rivals holds exceptionally rare cards that you will want to own:
- 23 Pokémon at Illustration Rare rarity – highly wanted by collectors for their unique artwork.
- 11 Pokémon at Special Illustration Rare rarity – even more exclusive, for the serious collectors.
- 6 cards at Hyper Rare rarity with gold embossing – these cards are literally the golden gems of the set.
The rarity of these cards does not just make them good to look at, it makes them a valuable addition to your collection.
