Exciting news for Pokémon TCG collectors! The highly anticipated “The Glory of the Team Rocket” set has just been announced, bringing back the beloved theme from the original Team Rocket set from the 2000s that featured Dark Pokémon. This nostalgic collection promises to reignite the passion of long-time fans while introducing new collectors to the iconic Team Rocket aesthetic.

What We Know So Far

We’ve already gotten a glimpse of the pack artwork, 14 revealed cards, and even some merchandise. Among the standout cards is a spectacular Mewtwo EX that’s already generating buzz in the community. However, there’s still much to discover, as the complete set will contain 98 cards plus secret rares.

One of the most interesting aspects of this collection is the naming convention. Similar to how the original set featured names like “Dark Charizard” and “Dark Blastoise,” this new set follows a consistent pattern with all Pokémon cards being named “Rocket’s” followed by the Pokémon’s name.

Release Dates

Mark your calendars! “The Glory of Team Rocket” will first launch in Japan on April 14th. For international collectors, these cards will be incorporated into the English “Destined Rivals” set, scheduled for release on May 30th.

This release represents a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern Pokémon TCG mechanics, making it a must-have for collectors and players alike. Stay tuned for more card reveals as we approach the release date!
