Team Rocket's Orbeetle 198/182

This is Team Rocket's Orbeetle 198/182 from Destined Rivals, a set built around the return of Team Rocket and their roster of Pokemon. The card number sits above the main set total of 182, which marks it as one of the special art cards collectors chase once the numbered set is complete.

The Illustration Rare treatment is the highlight here. Rather than the standard layout, an Illustration Rare gives Orbeetle a full art scene with expanded background detail, presenting the Pokemon as a distinct piece of artwork. The Team Rocket branding adds an extra layer of appeal, since these cards tie into the set's villainous theme and give familiar Pokemon a new identity under the Team Rocket banner. That combination has made the Destined Rivals art cards a favourite among collectors who enjoy the narrative side of the hobby.

For anyone building the Destined Rivals set or collecting the Team Rocket cards, this Orbeetle Illustration Rare is a strong addition to the collection.
