*SEALED* Pokémon TCG S&V Destined Rivals Sleeved Booster Pack (Lot of 2)
Price: $15.99
This sleeved booster pack duo from the Pokémon Destined Rivals set comes with two standard booster packs, each sealed up tight. Inside every pack, you’re looking at 10 cards total: usually 5 commons, 3 uncommons, a reverse holo, and a rare or better, plus a basic Energy card and that handy code card for Pokémon TCG Live. No fancy extras here, just straight pack-ripping goodness focused on the rivalry theme, pitting classic foes like Pikachu versus Meowth in fresh art styles.
From what I’ve seen in community openings on Reddit and YouTube channels, these packs average about one Illustration Rare (IR) every 4-5 packs, with Special Illustration Rares (SIR) popping up roughly once every 18-24 packs. Hyper Rares, like those gold-edged beauties, show up even less—maybe one in 36 packs based on collector reports. Full Art trainers are a bit more common, hitting around one every 6-8 packs, and don’t sleep on the secret rares that sneak in occasionally. Overall, in a pair like this, you’re likely to snag at least one solid hit, maybe an IR if luck’s on your side, but it’s all about those variance swings we love.
Personally, I’m always eyeing a few chases from this set. That Charizard ex SIR with the fiery clash against Blastoise—love how the flames leap off the card. Then there’s the Mewtwo VSTAR IR, all psychic energy swirling in a rival showdown pose. The Gardevoir ex full art hits different with its elegant duel vibes against Gallade. Oh, and the Pikachu VMAX hyper rare, capturing that electric tension mid-battle. Lastly, the Trainer Supporter full art of rival gym leaders facing off—simple but packs a narrative punch.
Fingers crossed your rip uncovers a hidden gem that makes you pause and admire.
Quick Facts:
– Expected Hits: 1 IR per 4-5 packs; 1 SIR per 18-24 packs; 1 Hyper Rare per 36 packs.
