Overwhelming Cuteness

Journey Together was the first time in almost a decade that we had got a dedicated set full of Trainer's Pokemon.

A Vintage Classic

The dastardly Team Rocket is ready to c🃏ause some trouble with their most powerful ally, Mewtwo. These two are an inseparable pꦇair in the Pokemon universe and many collectors have binders just for the Rocket's Pokemon.

The main chase of most Team Ro🥂cket-themed sets is the Mewtwo card and even here, where Mewtwo and Team Rocket snuck their way into a Gym-themed set, it is still a highlight. The vintage art depicts Mewtwo wielding its psychic powers in a way that we haven't ever seen since.

7 Rocket's Articuno-ex: (Ultra Rare) – $270.00

Evil Is As Cold As Ice

Generation One's Legendary trio are guardians of their respective types, but while they are normally quite peaceful, they could easily cause chaos if put intoꦺ the wrong hands. Team Rocket owning Articuno may mean the end of the Kanto region, but it might be worth it for this one-of-a-kind card.

Ice can be just as lethal as fire, and with the way Articuno𝓰 looks like it is about to swoop in and grab its prey, the chill of evil can be felt through the card. Articuno is usually elegant, but Team Rocket is nothing but that, yet the two come together in this card to make one chillingly🏅 good collection piece.

Don't Play With Fire

The strong shadows cast on to Moltres in the art make it look extra menacing and evil, which helps its Darkness-type pop even more. Before Galarian Moltres existed, this was the only Darkness-type Moltres around and even with the competition now, this one is still one of the168澳洲幸运5开奖网: standout Moltres cards.

5 Rocket's Mewtwo-ex: Ex Team Rocket Returns (Ultra Rare) – $300.00

An Inseparable Team Up

A Team Rocket-themed set is not complete without a highly sought-after Mewtwo card. In Ex Team Rocket Returns, we got one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best Mewtwo cards of all time in Rocket's Mewtwo-ex, which fea🧜tures striking artworওk and a pretty holo pattern.

This card is encapsu🌺lated in a time bubble from the artwork as it features a very early 3D render of Mewtwo that looks quite alien from its standardized modern design. That works in its favor, however, as it makes Mewtwo look threatening and ready to be Team Rocket's destructive pawn.

4 Rocket's Entei-ex: Ex Team Rocket Returns (Ultra Rare) – $319.50

Legendary Power In The Wrong Hands

The nefarious Team Rocket w⛄on't stop their reign of terror! This time they have obtained the legendary Pokemon E💟ntei for their plans. This Rocket's Entei-ex comes from Ex Team Rocket Returns and features a menacingly evil-looking Entei ready to burn away those in Team Rocket's way.

The interesting thing about all the Team Rocket Returns Rocket's Pokemon is that they have uniqu♒e abilities and attacks while all being Darkness-type.

This card is the pinnacle of all Rocket's Pokemon collections, containing their most ♛threatening menace... Snorlax? Besides being kind of silly, this card is adored for being a one-of-a-kind card for a 🧸very popular Pokemon.
