With two Pokémon Trading Card Game (or TCG) sets already released in 2025, it’s time to look ahead to the third. Following the launch of Prismatic Evolutions in January and Journey Together in March, the next set, Destined Rivals, will be released in May 2025. Destined Rivals features cards from the Japanese sets, Heat Wave Arena and The Glory of Team Rocket; let’s take a look at the cards revealed so far.

Destined Rivals: Secret Rare Card Gallery

Though each Pokémon set has a designated number of cards, if you’re lucky enough, you’ll also find cards in booster packs which are numbered above the “official” number of cards in a set. These are known collectively as Secret Rare cards, and they tend to most commonly be alternate art and special foil treated variants of other cards found in the set. They also tend to be the most highly sought after, and therefore valuable, cards in any given set. In Destined Rivals, we know that the number of cards in the main set is 182; therefore, the Secret Rare cards are numbered from 183 onwards. Let’s take a look at the Secret Rare cards revealed for Destined Rivals so far:
