What's inside the Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box

The Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box holds 9 booster packs plus card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers and a storage box, all themed to Destined Rivals.

Pokémon Center exclusive ETBs come with extra packs and a stamped promo and sell for more, so they are left out of the prices here.

About Destined Rivals

Brought back Team Rocket's Pokémon alongside more Trainer's Pokémon. Released on 30 May 2025, it belongs to the Scarlet & Violet era. It is a recent set, so sealed product is still being printed and sold in shops.

Destined Rivals has 182 cards in its main numbering, plus 62 secret rares numbered beyond it.

The cards a Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box can hold

The Destined Rivals cards collectors most want to pull are Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex. 9 packs is a modest number of tries, so most ETBs are bought to collect or keep sealed rather than to chase one card.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 6 Hyper Rares, 11 Special Illustration Rares and 23 Illustration Rares. Prices for every card are on the Destined Rivals set page.

Price per pack

At the typical price, each of the 9 packs in a Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box works out at €17.14, compared with €13.80 in a Destined Rivals Booster Box, €14.47 in a Destined Rivals Booster Bundle and €24.93 in a Destined Rivals Booster Pack. That makes it mid-priced among Destined Rivals sealed products.

Is the Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box a good investment?

Modern sealed product is printed in large numbers and is often reprinted, so Destined Rivals elite trainer boxes can stay flat or fall for years before supply dries up. ETBs are popular to keep sealed because of their box art, but they take more space than they hold in packs. Watch the price of Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex, the set's headline card, since sealed Destined Rivals tends to move with it.

Only buy a Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box to hold if you are happy to keep it either way, as prices can fall too. This is not financial advice; see should you buy sealed Pokémon products?

Before you buy

Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on elite trainer boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it; baggy, shiny or uneven wrap is a common sign of a reseal. For a Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box at around €154.29, ask the seller for photos of all sides and stick to accounts with plenty of positive feedback. Check the listing photos show the ETB itself and not only the packs, and that it is the standard version rather than a Pokémon Center one if you are comparing prices. Always compare totals with delivery included, and keep sealed product away from sunlight, heat and damp once it arrives.
