The Glory of Team Rocket!
Pokemon Glory of Team Rocket!
Ok… Where to start with this one.
Prepare for trouble..... Make it double. You get it right?!
Anyway, let's get to it..
If you’re semi old (millennial) like me then, you grew up remembering the first iterations of Pokemon such as Base Set/Jungle/Fossil etc and buying those packs for £1.99 back in the day!
Well not too long after these initial sets that frankly took the world by storm like nothing else back then, we also got a set depicting the infamous Team Rocket and the Pokemon they handled. Much like the Gym Series sets that came shortly after Team Rocket which are what we believe Battle Partners sv9 (Trainers Pokemon) to be based on. It’s no surprise that the new Team Rocket set would follow the same fate.
Due to release in April 2025, which seems like a far away announcement to have been made back in 2024. There is a reason for this however, in April 2025, it will have been 25 years since the release of the first Team Rocket expansion and we fully expect this to be one of the highlights of the year even though we’re only 3 days into the year at the point of writing this.
You know the drill though, as soon as news, card reveals and anything else about the new Team Rocket set comes out, we’ll let you know with emails, social media posts and obviously updates to our blog here.
But for now, all we have is this cheeky fan made pack art which has spurred us on to try and design one for ourselves!
Also, looking back at some of the Rocket reboots we've had over the years has gotten us even more excited! We know that this is going to be a flashy modern set but we're hoping for a little taste of the classic days. One of our top classic picks is this 20th anniversary promo! Which yes, isn't as classic as most Team Rocket stuff that we've had in the past, but it certainly is badass!
More to come, including links to pre orders. In the meantime you can check out our latest Pokemon pre order: Battle Partners sv9
We'll be back with more Team Rocket updates very soon!
