In my view, the standout cards from Destined Rivals are the Illustration Rares. Cynthia's Roserade boasts breathtaking artwork with a nostalgic late-80s anime feel, while Ethan's Typhlosion captures the essence of the trainer-Pokémon bond, making it one of the finest artworks in the Scarlet and Violet era.

The dynamic composition and emotional connection in these cards embody what Pokémon is all about. It’ll take something extraordinary to surpass their artistic appeal.
