Pokémon Scarlet & Violet — Rivali Predestinati, Eight Sealed Cases (Italian)

Rivali Predestinati is a special expansion of the Scarlet & Violet block built entirely around the dark organisations of the Pokémon world, with a narrative focus on Team Rocket that runs through the whole set.

The expansion introduced new and alternate treatments of iconic Pokémon, reinterpreted with a darker, cinematic aesthetic: Mewtwo ex, Garchomp ex and Ho-Oh ex are the headline figures, presented as Special Illustration Rare and Full Art cards with dedicated artwork. The art direction deliberately echoes historic releases such as Team Rocket (2000) and Team Magma vs Team Aqua, merging nostalgia with the visual language introduced by the Illustration Rare tier.

This lot consists of eight sealed cases of the Italian printing, a language produced in smaller quantities than the English and Japanese editions and therefore appreciably harder to assemble in sealed bulk. As a special expansion outside the standard rotation, the set stands apart from the regular release calendar and is collected as a self-contained chapter of the modern era — the kind of sealed position that is built once and rarely offered again.
