NEW RELEASE: As of May 30, get the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet Destined Rivals Booster Box (36 Packs) for $160.99 at Best Buy via Best Buy Drops.
The Pokémon Trading Card Game just welcomed its latest expansion, Destined Rivals, today, May 30, and it’s already selling out at just about every retailer. It’s for a good reason: this is one of the most anticipated sets you’ll find out there thanks to its new Team Rocket Pokémon cards, gorgeous illustrations, and much more.
It pays homage to the original 2000 set that came out, well, 25 years ago now (feeling old yet?). If you’re looking to get your hands on some of the cards, it’s going to be a longshot, but Best Buy has some in stock right now that you’ll want to try and snap up if you can.
As of May 30, get the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet Destined Rivals Booster Box (36 Packs) for $160.99 at Best Buy via Best Buy Drops. It’s only available in the Best Buy app, and you’ll need to join a queue of other buyers to be eligible for purchase. This set comes with a free promo card with purchase in addition to the boosters, so you get a little something extra.
This set is an expansive one, with 83 Team Rocket’s Pokémon cards, 17 EX cards, 23 Illustration Rares, 11 Special Illustration Rares, and 6 Hyper Rare gold-etched cards. The promo card, Team Rocket’s Articuno, is an attractive one as well, and is only available via Best Buy.

You’ll have to have a valid Best Buy account to be eligible to join the queue, and from the look of things, you may be waiting a while to be able to buy your box, if you end up being able to at all. But if you can’t wait to get your hands on the new expansion, it’s worth trying. You can join the queue and set your phone down to come back later.
