Cynthia's Roserade - 184/182 - SV10: Destined Rivals (DRI) Pokemon
Cynthia's Roserade is one of the most visually distinctive pulls from Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals (SV10), and its secret rare numbering tells you exactly what it is: an Illustration Rare printed beyond the set's 182-card base, landing at 184/182. Illustrated by artist Rika, this full-art holo showcases the Sinnoh Champion's iconic Grass-type partner in a style that drew immediate fan attention the moment the card was previewed — collectors called it a personal chase card before the set even hit shelves.
- Set: Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals (SV10), released May 30, 2025 — the tenth and final main expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, featuring over 240 cards and a collector-tier lineup of 23 Illustration Rares and 11 Special Illustration Rares.
- Rarity: Illustration Rare (IR) — a secret rare beyond the 182-card base set, with a full-art holo treatment.
- Ability: Cheer On to Glory — all of your Cynthia's Pokémon deal 30 additional damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon, making this card a genuine engine piece in Cynthia-themed builds.
- Market value: Raw NM copies trading around $10–$13; PSA 9s selling in the $20–$31 range; PSA 10 Gem Mint copies comping at $170.
Cynthia is one of the most enduring characters in the entire franchise — as the Sinnoh League Champion, her TCG cards consistently command collector demand that outlasts the sets they come from. Destined Rivals gives her a deep lineup of Trainer's Pokémon cards, and the Roserade IR is the most striking non-ex Cynthia pull in the set. The Illustration Rare tier in this release trades above typical ultra rares — this is the format for this card, and the window for raw NM copies at this price won't last.
