The week-long window givesPokemon TCGfans a head-start before the full retail release on May 30. If patterns involvingpastPokemon TCGleakscontinue, the Pokemon Company will likely reveal more details about the set in the next few months.
Before the leak surfaced, fans expected the set name to reference Team Rocket. However, the new set combines modern English sets and multiple Japanese sources, so a Team Rocket set name may potentially confusePokemon TCGfans. As a result, fans believe the rumored set name was changed to Destined Rivals to avoid confusion among fans around the world.
Before Destined Rivals releases,fans can test theirPokemon TCGskillsat local in-store Play Pokemon events featuring Prize Pack Series Six cards starting February 14. Fans can get the new Prize Packs by attending these tournaments at participating retail locations.
