The Next Big Pokémon TCG Set: Destined Rivals Incoming!

Pokémon fans, get ready!
The next official TCG set, Destined Rivals, has just been announced — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases of the year.

Slated for release later this summer, Destined Rivals features intense matchups between iconic characters and their rival counterparts. Expect new takes on classic Trainer cards, explosive EX evolutions, and a mix of returning favorites with brand-new alternate art cards that collectors will go crazy for.

Some leaked card names include:

  • Charizard EX – Rival’s Flame
  • Greninja EX – Shadow Duel
  • Rival’s Resolve – a powerful Trainer card with comeback mechanics

The set will include:

  • Over 160 cards
  • More than 15 Pokémon EX
  • 6+ Special Illustration Rare cards
  • New ACE SPEC mechanic returning!

As always, booster packs, elite trainer boxes, and special collector tins will be available at launch.

At PokeStrategy, we’ll be stocking Destined Rivals on release day — with early preorder bonuses and bundle deals. Stay tuned for more details as the set gets closer to launch!
