The Elite Trainer Box Promo
The Elite Trainer Box promo will be Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet, which hasn’t been revealed yet. This is an obvious reference to Jessie’s iconic Wobbuffet from Team Rocket. As usual, the Pokemon Center version will come with both a stamped and a regular copy, whereas the standard Elite Trainer Box will only contain the latter.
Destined Rivals Content
Our Destined Rivals set will include:
- Over 240 cards
- Over 85 Trainer’s Pokémon, including over 45 Team Rocket’s Pokémon
- 17 Pokémon ex, including 10 Trainer’s Pokémon ex
- More than 20 Trainer cards
- More than 45 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations
- 83 new cards tagged as Team Rocket’s
- 23 illustration rare Pokémon
- 11 special illustration rare Pokémon
- 6 hyper rare gold-etched cards
Prerelease Promos and Featured Cards
The prerelease promos reveal Team Rocket’s Tyranitar and Team Rocket’s Mimikyu. They haven’t been revealed in Japan yet, but will obviously come from The Glory of Team Rocket.
Strangely, the promos are stamped cards straight from the set. They don’t have promo numbering or feature alternate artwork. Perhaps this is the case because we’re starting the Mega Evolution block later this year (instead of January) and Japan won’t release a High Class Pack set from which our English promos can draw from.
Set Origin and Composition
Our Destined Rivals set will source its cards from Japan’s The Glory of Team Rocket (releasing April 18th, approximately 130 cards),
