Pokemon Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex - 231/182 - SV10: Destined Rivals (DRI) PSA 10
Mewtwo and Team Rocket together on one card — and not just any printing. This is the Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare (#231/182) from Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals (SV10), sealed in a PSA 10 Gem Mint slab. It is the undisputed chase card of the entire set and one of the most sought-after singles in the modern Pokémon TCG era.
Destined Rivals is a milestone release. It brought Team Rocket back to the Pokémon TCG for the first time in decades, drawing its design directly from the original Team Rocket expansion of 2000 — the set that first introduced the Owner's Pokémon mechanic. Over 45 Team Rocket–affiliated cards appear across the set, with Giovanni and Mewtwo anchoring the booster pack artwork and the entire villain-faction narrative.
- Rarity: Special Illustration Rare — one of only 11 SIRs in the set, numbered beyond the 182-card base.
- Artwork: Illustrated by Iwamoto05, depicting Mewtwo under Giovanni's command in the full-bleed, painterly style that defines the SIR tier.
- On-card stats: 280 HP Basic Psychic-type ex with the Power Saver Ability and the Erasure Ball attack, which scales up to 280+ damage by discarding Energy from Benched Pokémon.
- Grade: PSA 10 — the highest grade issued, certifying flawless surfaces, corners, edges, and centering.
- Market: Raw Near Mint copies are trading at $530–$617. PSA 10 slabs command a significant premium above raw, consistent with the card's status as the defining chase pull of SV10.
This is the most expensive Destined Rivals single, driven by a collision of forces that rarely align: Mewtwo's permanent blue-chip status, Team Rocket's nostalgia pull for collectors who grew up in the late '90s, and the scarcity of the SIR tier itself. A PSA 10 locks in condition permanently. This one is for the collector who wants the best version of the best card from one of Scarlet & Violet's defining sets.
