Right now: the best rip in Destined Rivals is the Booster Pack at $9.28 against $7.40 of expected pulls — a −32% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.
Destined Rivals brought Team Rocket back on May 30, 2025 and became the most-hunted Scarlet & Violet set since 151. That demand cuts both ways: chases like Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex and Ethan's Ho-Oh ex in Special Illustration Rare form hold serious value, but sealed prices have carried a hype premium the EV hasn't covered — every product has recently modeled at a loss.
The odds are standard SV: a ten-card pack with a guaranteed reverse holo, a rare slot that's a Double Rare about 30% of the time, an Ultra Rare 1 in 10, and an ACE SPEC 1 in 20. The hit slot pays an Illustration Rare roughly 1 in 9 packs, a Special Illustration Rare about 1 in 33, and a gold Hyper Rare near 1 in 83 — community estimates, not official numbers.
The full product spread exists: loose packs, 9-pack ETB, 6-pack bundle, 4-pack Build & Battle, 36-pack booster box. If you want the Rocket SIRs, the live table below will usually tell you what it's told us: buy the singles.
