Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box

The Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box brings together booster packs, gameplay accessories, a special Team Rocket-themed promo card, and organized storage in one sealed product.

Released on May 30, 2025, the Elite Trainer Box is part of the Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion, a set built around the conflict between Team Rocket and several powerful Pokémon Trainers.

The expansion features more than 240 cards, including more than 45 Team Rocket’s Pokémon cards and more than 85 Trainer’s Pokémon. Key featured pairings include Cynthia and Garchomp ex, Ethan and Ho-Oh ex, Arven and Mabosstiff ex, and Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex under Giovanni.

For collectors, the ETB offers a fixed full-art Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo alongside nine booster packs. For players, it includes sleeves, Energy cards, dice, condition markers and storage.

What Is the Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box?

The Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box, commonly called the Destined Rivals ETB, is a premium Pokémon TCG product designed for both collecting and gameplay.

Unlike a simple booster bundle, the ETB combines sealed booster packs with useful Pokémon TCG accessories.

What Comes Inside the Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box?

The Elite Trainer Box contains several components designed to support both opening packs and playing the Pokémon TCG.

1. Nine Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box

The ETB includes nine Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals booster packs.

Each booster pack contains randomized cards from the Destined Rivals expansion.

The nine packs provide an opportunity to discover Pokémon, Trainer cards and higher-rarity cards from the set.

However, individual cards are not guaranteed. The only fixed card in the box is the included Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo.

2. Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet Promo Card

One of the defining features of the Destined Rivals ETB is its full-art foil promo card featuring Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet.

Unlike the cards inside the booster packs, this promo is specifically included with the Elite Trainer Box.

The artwork fits the Team Rocket theme that runs throughout Destined Rivals.

For collectors, this gives the ETB a dedicated promo card that is separate from the randomized contents of the nine booster packs.

3. 65 Card Sleeves

The ETB contains 65 card sleeves.

This provides enough sleeves for a standard 60-card Pokémon TCG deck, with five additional sleeves.

The sleeves also complement the Team Rocket theme of the product.

Players can use them to protect cards during gameplay, while collectors can keep them with the rest of the sealed ETB accessories.

4. 45 Pokémon TCG Energy Cards

The box includes 45 Pokémon TCG Energy cards.

Energy cards are essential for building and playing many Pokémon TCG decks.

Having a dedicated supply inside the ETB makes the product useful beyond simply opening booster packs.

5. Damage-Counter Dice

The Destined Rivals ETB includes six damage-counter dice.

These dice are used to track damage during Pokémon TCG games.

They form part of the standard gameplay accessories included with an Elite Trainer Box.

6. Competition-Legal Coin-Flip Die

The box also contains one competition-legal coin-flip die.

Coin flips are used for certain Pokémon TCG effects and game situations.

The die provides a convenient alternative to using a physical coin during play.

7. Condition Markers

Two plastic condition markers are included.

These markers can be used to indicate special conditions affecting Pokémon during gameplay.

Together with the dice, Energy cards and sleeves, they make the ETB useful for players who want to organize their own Pokémon TCG equipment.

8. Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box Player’s Guide

The Elite Trainer Box includes a player’s guide to the Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion.

A player’s guide can help collectors become familiar with the expansion and provide information useful for exploring the set.

For someone starting a Destined Rivals collection, it can also serve as a reference while opening packs and organizing cards.

9. Collector’s Storage Box and Dividers

The ETB includes a sturdy collector’s box with four dividers.

The storage box provides space for organizing cards and accessories.

The dividers can help separate different portions of a collection, such as:

Pokémon cards
Trainer cards
Energy cards
Duplicate cards
Cards being considered for decks

This makes the ETB useful even after all nine booster packs have been opened.

10. Pokémon TCG Live Code Card

A Pokémon TCG Live code card is also included.

This adds a digital element to the physical Pokémon TCG experience.

The code card is separate from the nine physical booster packs and gives the product an additional digital component.

What Makes Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box Different?

Destined Rivals has a strong character-driven theme.

Rather than focusing only on individual Pokémon, the expansion connects Pokémon with their Trainers and Team Rocket.

The official Pokémon product showcase highlights more than 85 Trainer’s Pokémon and more than 45 Team Rocket’s Pokémon cards.

This creates several different collecting themes within the same expansion.

Team Rocket’s Pokémon

Team Rocket plays a major role in Destined Rivals.

The expansion includes more than 45 Team Rocket’s Pokémon cards, giving collectors a large group of villain-themed cards to explore.

One of the most notable examples is Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex, associated with Giovanni.

The ETB’s Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo continues this theme beyond the booster packs.

Trainer’s Pokémon

Destined Rivals also features more than 85 Trainer’s Pokémon.

Some of the highlighted pairings include:

Cynthia and Garchomp ex
Ethan and Ho-Oh ex
Arven and Mabosstiff ex
Giovanni and Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex

These combinations give the expansion a strong storytelling element while also creating different collecting paths.

Destined Rivals Chase Cards

Collectors opening the nine booster packs may encounter cards across the different rarity levels available in the expansion.

Among the cards that have attracted attention from collectors are:

Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex
Ethan’s Ho-Oh ex
Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex
Other Trainer’s Pokémon
Team Rocket’s Pokémon
Special Illustration Rare cards
Higher-rarity Pokémon and Trainer cards

The exact cards pulled from an ETB are randomized.

Therefore, purchasing an ETB does not guarantee any particular chase card.

Why the Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet Promo Matters

The promo card gives the Destined Rivals ETB a feature that a standard Booster Bundle does not have.

A Booster Bundle contains six Destined Rivals booster packs, while the ETB includes nine booster packs plus the fixed Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo and gameplay accessories.

This makes the promo an important part of the product’s identity.

Collectors who enjoy Team Rocket-themed Pokémon products may also appreciate the fact that the promo matches the broader storyline of Destined Rivals.

Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box for Collectors

The Elite Trainer Box can serve several purposes for collectors.

Building a Destined Rivals Collection

The nine booster packs provide opportunities to add cards to a growing collection.

Because Destined Rivals contains more than 240 cards, completing the expansion can be a substantial collecting project.

Collecting the Team Rocket Theme

The ETB’s Wobbuffet promo provides a fixed Team Rocket-themed card.

Collectors can then explore the booster packs for additional Team Rocket’s Pokémon.

Keeping the Product Sealed

The ETB itself is also a sealed Pokémon TCG product.

Collectors interested in sealed products can keep the entire box unopened, preserving the original combination of booster packs, promo and accessories.

Destined Rivals ETB for Pokémon TCG Players

The ETB is also built with gameplay in mind.

The included:

65 sleeves
45 Energy cards
Damage-counter dice
Coin-flip die
Condition markers
Storage box

can all be used during Pokémon TCG games.

The nine booster packs can also expand a player’s card pool.

However, the ETB is not a ready-to-play deck. The booster packs contain randomized cards, so players still need to build a deck from their available cards.

Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box vs Booster Bundle

The ETB and Booster Bundle provide different product configurations.

Feature	Destined Rivals ETB	Destined Rivals Booster Bundle
Booster packs	9	6
Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo	Yes	No
Card sleeves	65	No
Energy cards	45	No
Dice	Yes	No
Condition markers	Yes	No
Player’s guide	Yes	No
Collector’s box	Yes	No
Pokémon TCG Live code	Yes	Product-specific digital code inclusion
Main focus	Packs + accessories	Booster packs

The ETB therefore combines card opening with gameplay accessories, while the Booster Bundle is a simpler multi-pack product.

Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box vs Booster Display Box

A Destined Rivals Booster Display Box contains 36 booster packs, compared with nine in the Elite Trainer Box.

The two products are therefore quite different in format.

The ETB includes accessories and a promo card.

The Booster Display Box is primarily designed around a larger quantity of booster packs.

For collectors, the choice depends on whether they want the additional ETB components or a larger pack-opening format.

A Product Built Around Team Rocket and Rivalries

The Destined Rivals ETB reflects the central idea behind the expansion: opposing sides coming together for major Pokémon battles.

On one side are Trainers such as Cynthia, Ethan and Arven.

On the other side is Team Rocket, led by Giovanni.

The result is an expansion that connects Pokémon cards with recognizable characters and relationships.

The ETB reinforces that identity through its Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo and themed accessories.
