Highly-Anticipated Team Rocket Sets Likely To Be Revealed This Week!

[Water Pokémon Master]

Based on past trends, we expect Japan’s The Glory of Team Rocket and our equivalent Destined Rivals set to be officially revealed this week! They will release on April 18th and May 30th, respectively.
Update (Friday): It turns out Destined Rivals will be revealed next week. TPCi revealed a new Pocket set named Shining Revelry instead, which may be why precedent was broken on the English side.

I knew it! I’ve been checking the site every few minutes since last week lol. I’m ready. I wonder if they’ll give Giovanni yet another Full Art

 

[Nirvanna21]

We need a silver full art to mirror Ethan.

 

[FunkyHeracross]

i hope i'll be able to rip some packs at a decent price...

 

[Matteloop]

Silver needs to be in this, makes so much thematical sense.

 

[perrytheplatypus247]

who is considered one of the more popular Legendaries in recent years.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm, and I say this as an Ogerpon stan

 

[Alex Hesketh]

Im just so excited to find out exactly how Ariana and Petrel are gonna be featured, Im guessing all trainer pokémon will be "Team rocket's" and then the illustration rares pictures them maybe. Or as supporters. And praying to all gods Archer and Proton are here too

 

[Matteloop]

Jessie and james surely in this.

I’m sure a lot of people know, but just in case- if you’re interesting in getting some Destined Rivals, we will likely see the first preorder drop on Pokemon Center (including PC ETBs) either tomorrow or Friday. Unless they decide to do a little trolling and change things up (which they did do on Prismatic release day)

A crobat ex similar to crobat V would he fire

 

[Nirvanna21]

Jessie and james surely in this.

Not a chance, the pack art focuses on Gold and Silver Era.

I have no idea how popular which legendary Pokémon of this generation is, but I could actually see that either Ogerpon or Terapagos is the 3rd-most popular one after Koraidon and Miraidon. Because I did never see that the "treasures of ruin" or "loyal 3" are that popular. But I haven't watched any series/movie in which they might have appeared
Personally Ogerpon is far from a favourite legendary, but it is one of the most-appealing ones to me in this generation, because it actually has a decent story you can attach to.

 

[teperoma]

I really hope that the art for the ETBs/Booster boxes is different from those because they're a little offputting to me I don't know why.

 

[somesam]

Ogerpon being one of the most popular legendary in the past few years really shows how sucky the legendaries in gen 8 & 9 are

 

[Fawnlily]

Really made a whole news post just to say you don't have anything new to show us huh

yeah in my head i was picturing one of those wikipedia citations like: “so-and-so is considered[by whom?] one of the more popular legendaries…” lol

 

[Shiny Sandaconda]

so....tomorrow?

 

[Shiny Sandaconda]

i hope i'll be able to rip some packs at a decent price...

Since it's a main set, sign up for a prerelease event and you will be able to get it I think $25USD, $50AUD for around 7 packs and a prerelease deck!

"Will their cards all be named “Rocket’s ____,” but with their specific Trainer’s icons in the corner of the card? Like Rocket’s Mewtwo with a Giovanni icon? Or Rocket’s Murkrow with an Ariana icon? Or perhaps they’ll all share an “R” icon?"

I'm wondering about that. Will the owner Pokémon idea continue in this set, or will it only last until the Heat Wave Arena? Maybe it'll be a mix, with, for example, a Rocket´s Mewtwo and also a Giovanni´s Nidoking.

We'll find out tomorrow or Friday.

I reckon it will be trainer specific names. Or maybe Rocket Grunt's X.
