Team Rocket’s Raticate is an Illustration Rare secret card from the 2025 Scarlet & Violet: Destined Rivals expansion of the Pokémon TCG. The card’s playful artwork by Mekago depicts a wild-eyed Raticate (with accompanying Rattata) causing chaos in a shadowy Team Rocket lair, framed in the set’s gold foil illustration-rare border. As a rare alt-art pull, it’s especially appealing to collectors and fans of the classic Team Rocket motif, evoking nostalgia for the original Generation I villains. In gameplay, Raticate’s heavy-hitting “Reckless Abandon” attack captures the daredevil spirit of Team Rocket, making this trading card both a fun play piece and a standout addition to any collection.
