The enthusiasm for collecting Pokémon trading cards persists in 2025, yet finding them remains a challenge due to shelves being quickly depleted at major stores following new releases. Yet, the passion among Pokémon TCG enthusiasts never wanes when awaiting exciting new additions. Today, we were given a sneak peek at an upcoming Ultra Premium Collection, and while it’s enticing, there’s one significant aspect that dampens the excitement level more than anticipated.
On August 21st, fresh images showcasing Team Rocket’s Moltres from the Ultra Premium Collection began circulating on social media. These images encompass both the box artwork and a detailed description of the products found at the back of the box. Initially, fans are thrilled to see a Team Rocket-themed box following the success of Destined Rivals earlier in the year. However, upon closer inspection, it’s revealed that while the collection does contain some Destined Rivals boosters, it also incorporates cards from various other sets.
Everything Included in the Team Rocket’s Moltres ex Ultra Premium Collection
The Ultra Premium Collection from Team Rocket notably showcases their Moltres, as depicted on the packaging art where Moltres is shown in flight, accompanied by the recognizable “R” symbol of Team Rocket. However, the contents within the box offer a diverse assortment of items.

In the latest Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) Ultra Premium Collection, a total of 18 booster packs are included. Interestingly, though, the box art indicates that only two of these will be specialized Team-Rocket themed Destined Rivals boosters. This unexpected revelation has left many fans feeling somewhat let down considering the collection’s Team Rocket theme. Nevertheless, for those intrigued about the contents of this Moltres ex Ultra Premium Collection, here’s a breakdown:
1. 2 Team-Rocket themed Destined Rivals booster packs
2. 16 standard booster packs (not specified if they are also Moltres ex)
3. 1 foil card featuring the legendary Pokémon Moltres
4. 1 ultra rare holographic foil card
5. 1 full-art secret rare card
6. 1 special collector’s coin
7. 1 acrylic charms set (possibly Moltres themed)
8. 1 Team Rocket poster
9. A collector’s box to store all the items
Although some fans might be disappointed with the fewer than anticipated Destined Rivals booster packs, this collection still offers a range of exciting and unique items for Pokémon TCG enthusiasts to enjoy.
- 3 Team Rocket’s Moltres ex foil promos
- 18 booster packs, which look to be primarily Journey Together with 2 Destined Rivals included
- Team Rocket’s Moltres-themed Playmat
- Team Rocket’s Moltres-themed Deckc box and metallic coin
- Pokemon TCG Damage counters
It’s surprising to note that the packaged set apparently offers merely 2 “Destined Rivals” boosters. Since Team Rocket’s Moltres ex is from this collection, it could imply that the Ultra Premium Collection provides players an opportunity to acquire additional Team Rocket cards. Nevertheless, the Journey Together set sold out more gradually compared to other Pokemon card sets of the Scarlet & Violet era. This might suggest that the Pokemon Company has a sufficient stock of these boosters if they had anticipated greater demand to correspond with recent releases.
Players can anticipate a forthcoming Pokemon TCG Team Rocket-themed release soon, although the specific launch date and cost remain unannounced as of now. Previous Ultra Premium Collections in the Scarlet & Violet era have been approximately $120, suggesting this new collection might carry a similar price range.
