<p>Team Rocket takes center stage in the latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion. Scarlet &amp; Violet – Destined Rivals puts the likes of Giovanni, his Mewtwo, and various other well-known Pokémon used by the nefarious organization in the spotlight.&nbsp;</p><p>The Pokémon Company sent us a bunch of booster packs of this latest expansion to crack open and share our favorites. Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet &amp; Violet – Destined Rivals adds more than 240 new cards to the perpetually growing TCG catalog. Of those cards, over 85 are Trainer Pokémon, with more than 45 belonging to Team Rocket. I loved opening packs and finding Team Rocket versions of Golbat, Arbok, and, of course, Mewtwo.&nbsp;</p><p>However, trainers powerful enough to oppose Team Rocket, like Misty, Cynthia, Ethan, and Arven, are also featured; Misty’s Gyarados is among my favorite cards I pulled. You can see the complete gallery of my favorites below.</p><p class=”inline-rich-content-placeholder”>&nbsp;</p><p>Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet &amp; Violet – Destined Rivals arrives on store shelves on May 30.
