In a shocking turn of events, Amazon actually has Pokémon TCG sealed product at market value. When compared to the TCGplayer listed and current available pricing, the Destined Rivals Team Rocket Tin is at market value, running trainers and collectors $42.94.
At the time of writing, TCGplayer has listings for $40.80 and up, so that little extra on Amazon isn't much to fret about, considering it ships directly from Amazon and includes the benefits of Amazon Prime, such as free delivery. The Team Rocket Tin includes three Destined Rivals Booster packs and two Journey Together, so this tin is all about the return of Trainer Pokémon.
There are three variants of the Team Rocket Tin, each of which is sent at random: Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex, Team Rocket's Persian ex, or Team Rocket's Nidoking ex. Whatever one you get, it's a winner in my books. But if you fancy chasing them all, you can always just order a few and see what you get; it's the luck of the draw.
Top Destined Rivals Chase Cards
Buying this tin just for the packs? Well it's a good deal in Pokémania 2025, but don't expect to pull the top chase cards of Destined Rivals out-the-gate. Stranger things have happened, I really hope you do, but it's not likely. If you're planning on buying a few tins and ripping packs, it will probably save you money in the long run just buying the card you're after.
Let's take Team Rocket's Mewtwo SIR for example. The price of this card currently works out at roughly 12 Team Rocket Tins, which is 36 packs of Destined Rivals. There's a very high chance that you won't find it, but you could just spend that money on the card itself, which is bound to climb in value over time as Destined Rivals sealed product becomes harder and harder to get.
