Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals will see the return of the popular Trainer’s Pokémon mechanic, but with a twist, introducing the infamous Team Rocket — a villainous organization in the Pokémon world — into the mix. Players can choose their allegiance by joining forces with heroic duos like Ethan and Ho-Oh ex or Cynthia and Garchomp ex, or they can embrace mischievous adventure by teaming up with Team Rocket and their Pokémon, such as Mewtwo ex, under Giovanni’s command.
In addition, players can discover the distinctive artwork of new Trainer’s Pokémon cards, showcasing the special bond shared between a skilled Pokémon Trainer and their Pokémon, with each card featuring the Trainer’s name.
