Pokémon Destined Rivals

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals (sv10) is the tenth and final main expansion of the Scarlet & Violet series, released on 30 May 2025. The set pits heroic Trainers like Cynthia, Ethan, and Arven against the villainous Team Rocket — with over 45 Team Rocket's Pokémon cards and the rallying question: Whose Side Are You On? Collectors are chasing the set for its stunning Special Illustration Rares and a top-tier card market price that makes it one of the most valuable Scarlet & Violet expansions to date.

Destined Rivals contains 244 cards in total, including 17 Pokémon ex and over 45 Trainer's Pokémon ex variants.

The set also features 11 SIRs overall, 23 Illustration Rares, and 6 Hyper Rare gold-etched cards, with Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR ranking among the most expensive single cards in the entire Scarlet & Violet era.
