## Chasing them in Destined Rivals

Destined Rivals runs to 244 cards with 34 Illustration/Special Illustration Rares, but landing Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex, Cynthia's Garchomp ex and Ethan's Ho-Oh ex covers most of what collectors actually want — a far quicker goal than the full 409-card master set. The rarest single pull, Team Rocket's Crobat ex (#242) (Hyper Rare), rounds out the want-list.
