Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex - 231/182 - SV10: Destined Rivals (DRI)

Team Rocket's Méwtwo ex — 231/182 — Special Illustration Rare — SV10: Destined Rivals

This is the definitive chase card from Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals (SV10), the set that brought Team Rocket back to the Pokémon TCG for the first time in roughly 25 years. 231/182 is a Special Illustration Rare (SIR) — one of only 11 SIRs in the entire 244-card set — featuring full-bleed, cinematic artwork by illustrator Iwamoto05 that places Méwtwo squarely under Giovanni's command.

• Set context: Destined Rivals (released May 30, 2025) draws from the Japanese Glory of Team Rocket and features over 83 Team Rocket's Pokémon cards alongside the modern Trainer's Pokémon mechanic.
• Card stats: 280 HP Basic Psychic-type. Ability: Power Saver (requires 4+ Team Rocket's Pokémon in play). Attack: Erasure Ball — 160+ damage, scaling up to 280 by discarding 2 Bench Energies.
• Market value: Raw Near Mint copies have been selling in the $514–$650 range across TCGPlayer, with the most recent recorded sale at approximately $552 — up ~3.8% in the past 30 days. Graded copies on eBay range from PSA 9 through PSA 10, with active listings reflecting strong sustained collector demand.

With only 11 SIRs in the set, a Méwtwo subject, and a nostalgia-fueled Team Rocket theme that hasn't appeared since the original TCG era, this card targets both the competitive player building a full Rocket deck and the serious Méwtwo collector. The market has held — and climbed — since release. This is the card the set is built around.
