The Pokemon Destined Rivals Booster Bundle holds six booster packs and no promo card, according to its official pokemon.com product page, which prints “Launch: May 30, 2025”. The Japanese counterpart for the Team Rocket cards is the SV10 box, Glory of Team Rocket, which the official Japanese page dates to April 18, 2025.
The official Japanese page prices an SV10 pack at ¥180 (~$1) with tax and describes five cards per pack. The English expansion page lists “Over 240” cards, and Bulbapedia reports that the English set gathers cards from several Japanese products rather than from SV10 alone.
Tokyo-shipped Japanese boxes and graded cards in the store carry listing prices dated October 5, 2026, with dollar figures at ¥154.
The official bundle page lists six Destined Rivals booster packs and nothing else in the box. The Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex prints DRI 81, 213, 231 and 240 share an illustrator credit with SV10 039, 114, 125 and 130, while Cynthia’s Garchomp ex belongs to the Heat Wave Arena box. The SV10 box (Sealed) is listed at ¥20,357 (~$132).
Bundle contents are quoted from the official English product page, Japanese box details from the official Japanese product page and card database, and English card numbers and set lineage from Limitless TCG and Bulbapedia.
What the Official Booster Bundle Page Lists
The product page is titled Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals Booster Bundle. Its description reads: “Expand your collection with this Booster Bundle containing six booster packs from Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals!” The theme text opens with “Pokémon Trainers, be on high alert! The nefarious Team Rocket is setting its latest plan into motion, and heroic Trainers are racing to stop it.”
| Item | As printed on the official bundle page |
|---|---|
| Launch | Launch: May 30, 2025 |
| Contents | 6 booster packs from the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion |
| Availability | The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals Booster Bundle is available where Pokémon TCG products are sold. |
The bundle page prints no price, no promo card and no cards-per-pack figure. Bulbapedia’s merchandise page for the Scarlet & Violet series gives the same picture in its own words: Destined Rivals Booster Bundles were among the items released on May 30, 2025, and each box included six loose Destined Rivals booster packs, with no promotional cards. “Loose” is Bulbapedia’s word, not the official page’s.
The bundle shares its launch day with the expansion. The official expansion page lists the series as Scarlet & Violet, the release date as May 30, 2025, “Over 240” cards and a Standard Legal Deck answer of “Yes”, with highlights that include “Over 85 Trainer’s Pokémon, including over 45 Team Rocket’s Pokémon” and “More than 45 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations”.
The Elite Trainer Box for the same expansion is a different product. Bulbapedia lists it with nine Destined Rivals packs and a Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo card, and that comparison sits in the Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box vs SV10 article.
Bundle and SV10 Box Compared
The Japanese side is a booster box of a single expansion, Glory of Team Rocket (ロケット団の栄光), numbered over /098 on database cards. The official Japanese page prints a release date of April 18, 2025 (2025年4月18日) and describes the pack as five cards at ¥180 (~$1), tax included.
| Spec | Destined Rivals Booster Bundle (English) | SV10 Glory of Team Rocket box (Japanese) |
|---|---|---|
| Release | Launch: May 30, 2025 (official bundle page) | April 18, 2025 (official Japanese page) |
| Language | English | Japanese |
| Packs | 6 booster packs (official) | Pack count per box is not printed on the official page |
| Pack contents | Packs of the English expansion | 5 cards per pack at ¥180 (~$1), tax included (official) |
| Set size | Over 240 cards (official); 244 on Limitless TCG | Database cards numbered over /098 |
| Source sets | Glory of the Rocket Gang, Hot Wind Arena and two ex Starter Sets (Bulbapedia) | Glory of Team Rocket only |
The English product is a six-pack unit of an expansion that blends several Japanese releases. The Japanese product is a full box of one release. That difference matters for the Team Rocket cards, which sit in both, and for the Cynthia cards, which sit only in the English packs and in a different Japanese box.
Where the Destined Rivals Cards Come From in Japan
Bulbapedia’s page for the set says: “Destined Rivals includes cards from the Japanese Hot Wind Arena subset, the Glory of the Rocket Gang expansion, and the two ex Starter Sets for Marnie’s Morpeko & Grimmsnarl ex and Steven’s Beldum & Metagross ex. The expansion includes 182 regular cards, with more than 240 cards total after secret cards are included.” Bulbapedia calls SV10 “Glory of the Rocket Gang”; the store lists 「ロケット団の栄光」 as Glory of Team Rocket.
| Destined Rivals source (Bulbapedia) | Japanese product | Headline card |
|---|---|---|
| Glory of the Rocket Gang | SV10 拡張パック「ロケット団の栄光」, released April 18, 2025 | Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex |
| Hot Wind Arena subset | SV9a 強化拡張パック「熱風のアリーナ」 (Heat Wave Arena) | Cynthia’s Garchomp ex |
| Two ex Starter Sets | Marnie’s Morpeko & Grimmsnarl ex and Steven’s Beldum & Metagross ex | Neither |
The official pokemon.com overview names both sides of the set: “Join forces with the likes of Cynthia and Garchomp ex, Ethan and Ho-Oh ex, or Arven and Mabosstiff ex… Or reconsider your loyalties and fight alongside Team Rocket’s Pokémon like Mewtwo ex—under the command of Giovanni!” By illustrator credit and print number, Cynthia’s Garchomp ex maps to Heat Wave Arena and Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex to Glory of Team Rocket.
The official Japanese SV10 page explains the naming rule behind the Team Rocket cards: a “Team Rocket’s Pokémon” is a Pokémon whose card name begins with ロケット団の, and every such card counts as the same kind of Team Rocket’s Pokémon whichever Trainer is pictured. The Mewtwo ex Ability depends on that rule.
Deeper set coverage is in the Destined Rivals Japanese card list, the SV10 card list and the SV10 booster box buying guide, while the Heat Wave Arena side has its own SV9a card list and Heat Wave Arena booster box buying guide.
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex: Four English Prints, Four SV10 Numbers
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex is the Mewtwo ex named in the official overview, and four of its English prints pair with SV10. Limitless TCG lists it as a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 280 HP, Darkness weakness, Fighting resistance and a retreat cost of 3. The official Japanese database prints the Ability パワーセーバー, which Bulbapedia names Power Saver, and the attack イレイザーボール (Eraser Ball, rendering) at 160 plus. The Ability allows attacks only while four or more Team Rocket’s Pokémon are in play, and the attack adds 60 damage for each Energy the player discards from Benched Pokémon, up to two.
Each English print pairs with one SV10 print through an identical illustrator credit. Bulbapedia’s card page lists the same four pairs, and describes the English Regular, ultra rare and hyper rare prints as artwork by aky CG Works and the special illustration rare print as artwork by Iwamoto05.
| English print (Limitless TCG) | Illustrator (Limitless TCG) | SV10 print (official database) | Illustrator (database) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRI 81, Double Rare | aky CG Works | 039/098 RR | aky CG Works |
| DRI 213, Ultra Rare | aky CG Works | 114/098 SR | Pokémon: aky CG Works; Trainer: Hideki Ishikawa |
| DRI 231, Special Art Rare | Iwamoto05 | 125/098 SAR | Iwamoto05 |
| DRI 240, Secret Rare | aky CG Works | 130/098 UR | Pokémon: aky CG Works; Trainer: Hideki Ishikawa |
Limitless prints only the first credit on each card; the database adds a second line for the Trainer on the SR and UR. Rarity codes follow the official database icons; Limitless uses its own labels, so its DRI 213 is “Ultra Rare” and its JP SV10 114 is “Secret Rare”.
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex 125/098 SAR
The special illustration rare is the print with the separate credit, Iwamoto05, and it carries the same credit on DRI 231. Its PSA 10 lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 2, 2026 is ¥75,000 (~$487), the highest of the four SV10 prints checked.
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex 130/098 UR
The ultra rare 130/098 pairs with DRI 240, which Limitless labels Secret Rare and Bulbapedia calls a gold etched hyper rare. The official database shows the UR icon for the Japanese card.
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex 114/098 SR and 039/098 RR
The regular RR 039/098 and the SR 114/098 both carry aky CG Works as the Pokémon credit. The database adds a Trainer credit, Hideki Ishikawa, to the SR. The full per-print history, including the later MEGA Dream ex prints, is in the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex card guide.
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex: A Heat Wave Arena Card
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex is the other card named in the official overview. Its Japanese prints are in Heat Wave Arena (SV9a), numbered over /063, and the SV10 box does not contain it. Its English prints are in Destined Rivals packs, which include the packs in the Booster Bundle, and the Japanese route to the same credits is the SV9a box.
Limitless TCG lists the card as a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 330 HP, Grass weakness and no retreat cost, evolving from Cynthia’s Gabite. The database prints two attacks: スクリューダイブ (Screw Dive, rendering), a 100-damage attack after which the player may draw until holding six cards, and リューノバスター (Dragon Buster, rendering), a 260-damage attack that discards all Energy from the Pokémon.
| English print (Limitless TCG) | Illustrator (Limitless TCG) | SV9a print (official database) | Illustrator (database) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRI 104, Double Rare | 5ban Graphics | 044/063 RR | 5ban Graphics |
| DRI 215, Ultra Rare | 5ban Graphics | 080/063 SR | Pokémon: 5ban Graphics; Trainer: Taira Akitsu |
| DRI 232, Special Art Rare | HICO KIM | 087/063 SAR | HICO KIM |
| DRI 241, Secret Rare | 5ban Graphics | 091/063 UR | Pokémon: 5ban Graphics; Trainer: Taira Akitsu |
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex 087/063 SAR
The special illustration rare is credited to HICO KIM in the database and on DRI 232 in Limitless. Bulbapedia’s card page gives the same pairing and states that the Regular, Full Art ultra rare and hyper rare prints feature artwork by 5ban Graphics.
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex 091/063 UR
The ultra rare 091/063 pairs with DRI 241. Three more Japanese prints sit outside the four pairs: SV-P 255, a promo with the 5ban Graphics credit that Bulbapedia says went to winners of Hot Wind Arena Sealed Battle tournaments held at Pokémon Card Gym sites in Japan from March 14 to May 31, 2025, the MEGA Dream ex print M2a 090/193 RR, and a Start Deck 100 print. Bulbapedia’s infobox lists no Japanese expansion for the English promo SVP 204, a Full Art print credited to PLANETA Igarashi that Bulbapedia places in the Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection from June 13, 2025.
Per-print detail is in the Cynthia’s Garchomp ex guide.
The Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Promos
Two English promos carry the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex name, and neither comes in the Booster Bundle, since Bulbapedia’s SVP promo table names no Booster Bundle among the sources. Bulbapedia places SVP 205 in the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Box from June 13, 2025, and SVP 216 in the Team Rocket Tins released September 5, 2025.
| English promo | Source product (Bulbapedia) | Illustrator (Limitless TCG) | Japanese print (official database) | Illustrator (database) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SVP 205 | Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Box, from June 13, 2025 | aky CG Works | M2a 063/193 RR | aky CG Works |
| SVP 216 | Team Rocket Tins, September 5, 2025 | aky CG Works | M-P 043/M-P | aky CG Works |
| SVP 204 (Cynthia’s Garchomp ex) | Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection, from June 13, 2025 | PLANETA Igarashi | No Japanese print listed | — |
Bulbapedia pairs SVP 205 with the MEGA Dream ex print and SVP 216 with the M-P promo, which it says was given to Champions League 2026 competitors with four or more wins and carries the Pokémon Card Game Championships Series 2026 logo. The credits match in both pairs.
The Japanese partners belong to M2a and M-P, not SV10, so the SV10 numbers 039, 114, 125 and 130 do not include a promo print.
Dated Asking Prices on SNKRDUNK
Asks are the lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 2, 2026, from each product page’s per-condition grid. A ¥1,000 entry is SNKRDUNK’s display floor, not a quoted ask, and none of the figures is a sale price.
| Card | Raw lowest ask | PSA 10 lowest ask |
|---|---|---|
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex RR 039/098 | ¥1,000 (display floor) | ¥4,999 (~$32) |
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SR 114/098 | ¥3,180 (~$21) | ¥9,040 (~$59) |
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR 125/098 | ¥37,000 (~$240) | ¥75,000 (~$487) |
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex UR 130/098 | ¥6,500 (~$42) | ¥13,500 (~$88) |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex RR 044/063 | ¥1,000 (display floor, weak row) | No PSA 10 ask |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SR 080/063 | ¥2,200 (~$14) | ¥8,150 (~$53) |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SAR 087/063 | ¥32,000 (~$208) | ¥48,000 (~$312) |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex UR 091/063 | ¥5,250 (~$34) | ¥9,999 (~$65) |
The two SARs carry the highest dated asks among the cards checked, with the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR higher than the Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SAR in both the raw and PSA 10 columns. For each character the UR asks more than the SR in both columns, and the RR rows sit at or near the floor. The Garchomp RR row rests on very few asks and is a weak signal.
PSA 10 Listings and Back Orders
The store offers the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR 125/098 as a PSA 10 back order at ¥78,336 (~$509) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The process is explained in the PSA 10 back order guide.
| Card | SNKRDUNK PSA 10 lowest ask (Oct 2, 2026) | Store back order (PSA 10) |
|---|---|---|
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR 125/098 | ¥75,000 (~$487) | ¥78,336 (~$509) |
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex UR 130/098 | ¥13,500 (~$88) | ¥13,260 (~$86) |
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SR 114/098 | ¥9,040 (~$59) | ¥9,860 (~$64) |
| Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex RR 039/098 | ¥4,999 (~$32) | ¥5,099 (~$33) |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SAR 087/063 | ¥48,000 (~$312) | ¥50,910 (~$331) |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex UR 091/063 | ¥9,999 (~$65) | ¥10,199 (~$66) |
| Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SR 080/063 | ¥8,150 (~$53) | ¥5,260 (~$34) |
The back-order prices and the SNKRDUNK asks follow no single pattern: the Garchomp SR and Mewtwo UR back orders are priced lower than the matching PSA 10 asks, and the other five are priced higher. Each store figure belongs to its own product page, and each SNKRDUNK figure to its own dated grid.
The wider graded market for Team Rocket and Mewtwo cards is covered in the top Mewtwo cards ranking and the PSA 10 Mew and Mewtwo buying guide.
SV10 Box Listings and the Dated Box Ask
The SV10 box page sells the sealed box, and the Damaged Box and the 【No Shrink】 Damaged Box are separate products with their own prices; the SNKRDUNK box ask is for the sealed box.
| Japanese SV10 box | Store listing (as of October 5, 2026) | Lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 2, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| SV10 box (Sealed) | ¥20,357 (~$132) | ¥21,700 (~$141) |
| SV10 Damaged Box (separate product) | ¥18,605 (~$121) | No dated figure |
| 【No Shrink】SV10 Damaged Box (separate product) | ¥17,052 (~$111) | No dated figure |
Condition terms for each Damaged Box sit on its product page.
Choosing Between the Bundle and the Japanese Box
The two products differ on these points.
- Pack count. The bundle holds six English packs; the SV10 box holds Japanese packs of five cards at ¥180 (~$1) each.
- Language and text. English cards carry numbers such as DRI 231, while SV10 cards carry /098 numbers and Japanese text.
- Source set. Per Bulbapedia, the bundle’s expansion draws on Glory of the Rocket Gang, Hot Wind Arena and two ex Starter Sets; the SV10 box draws on one release.
- Cynthia’s Garchomp ex. It is an English bundle card and a Japanese SV9a card, never an SV10 card.
- Promos. The bundle has none, and the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex promos come from a box and tins.
- Print numbers over names. Four Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex prints exist in SV10: 039, 114, 125 and 130.
- Box condition. Damaged Box and 【No Shrink】 Damaged Box are separate products from the sealed box.
For a view of the whole Japanese card pool, the SV10 card list page lists the cards and the Glory of Team Rocket best cards article covers the set’s popular prints.
Where to Buy the Japanese Side from Japan
Orders ship from Tokyo, and these are store listing prices as of October 5, 2026. Japanese products tied to the Destined Rivals Team Rocket cards:
- SV10 box (Sealed): listed at ¥20,357 (~$132).

More graded cards sit in the PSA 10 collection and on the PSA 10 card list, the SV10 card list lists the Japanese set, and Quick Order takes requests for anything the listing pages do not carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many booster packs are in the Destined Rivals Booster Bundle?
The official pokemon.com page lists “6 booster packs from the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion” and no promo card. Bulbapedia describes the same six packs as loose Destined Rivals packs, with no promotional cards. The page prints no price and no cards-per-pack figure.
When did the Destined Rivals Booster Bundle launch?
The official bundle page prints “Launch: May 30, 2025”, the same day as the expansion’s release date. The Japanese Glory of Team Rocket box, SV10, was dated April 18, 2025 on the official Japanese page, about six weeks earlier than the English bundle.
Which Japanese sets are the Destined Rivals cards from?
Bulbapedia reports that Destined Rivals includes cards from the Japanese Hot Wind Arena subset, the Glory of the Rocket Gang expansion and the two ex Starter Sets for Marnie’s Morpeko & Grimmsnarl ex and Steven’s Beldum & Metagross ex. Glory of the Rocket Gang is the store’s Glory of Team Rocket.
Is Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR in the Japanese SV10 box?
DRI 231 shares the Iwamoto05 illustrator credit with SV10 125/098 SAR in the official card database, and Bulbapedia pairs the two. The other three English prints, DRI 81, 213 and 240, pair by the same method with SV10 039, 114 and 130.
Is Cynthia’s Garchomp ex in the Japanese SV10 box?
No. The official database lists its Japanese prints in Heat Wave Arena, SV9a, as 044/063 RR, 080/063 SR, 087/063 SAR and 091/063 UR. DRI 232 shares the HICO KIM credit with SV9a 087, so the Japanese route is the SV9a box.
How much does the Japanese SV10 box cost?
The official Japanese page prices an SV10 pack at ¥180 (~$1), tax included. The store lists the SV10 box (Sealed) at ¥20,357 (~$132) as of October 5, 2026, and the Damaged Box is a separate product at its own price.
Does the Destined Rivals Booster Bundle include a promo card?
No promo card appears in the official contents list, and Bulbapedia lists none for the bundle. The Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex promo SVP 205 is placed by Bulbapedia in the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Box from June 13, 2025, and SVP 216 in the Team Rocket Tins.
