Oh my. 30 packs for $100 with some throwback and cool presentation. This’ll be a hot commodity.

A “Glory of the Rocket Team Attaché Case” will also release for 14,900 yen ($100). It will come with 30 booster packs of the set. It’s a case meant to protect your accessories, as seen in the second image below.

Unlike the accessories above, the case will only be sold through a lottery on the Pokemon Center’s website.

Haha, this is brilliant. I had to double take if this was an edit in the meme thread by you but this is actually a very well done promo stamp. The artwork really suits the name. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers!

83 new cards tagged as Team Rocket’s**
17 Pokémon ex, including 10 Trainer’s Pokémon ex
23 illustration rare Pokémon
11 special illustration rare Pokémon
Six hyper rare gold-etched cards

  • More than 15 Pokémon ex
  • More than 20 Trainer cards

Ahead of the release of the tabletop version, players will be able to play with Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals digitally starting May 29, 2025 via the Pokémon TCG Live app for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows devices.

Annotations

  • SV10 The Glory of Team Rocket is expected to have 8 Pokémon ex
    • Subtracting SV9a Heat Wave Arena’s Owner’s Pokémon ex from Destined Rivals will mean there are fewer than 8 Rocket’s Pokémon ex (i.e. regular Pokémon ex included)
