5 facts about this card
This card hits a sweet spot for Giovanni collectors because Nidoking is one of his signature partner Pokémon, and Bulbapedia notes Giovanni uses a Nidoking in every game where he appears as an opponent.
What makes this copy especially chase-worthy is that the Special Illustration Rare version of Team Rocket's Nidoking ex is the Uninori artwork, while the regular and Full Art prints use different art by 5ban Graphics.
Team Rocket's Nidoking ex carries extra nostalgia because Destined Rivals was built as the Scarlet & Violet finale with a major Team Rocket focus, packing dozens of Rocket cards and folding in Japan's Glory of the Rocket Gang expansion where this card debuted first.
Uninori is a newer Pokémon TCG illustrator whose first credited card appeared in 2024, so this Special Illustration Rare stands out as an early-era showcase piece for collectors tracking rising artists.
For longtime fans, this card taps directly into classic villain-era Kanto nostalgia, since official coverage of Destined Rivals highlighted Team Rocket's return alongside owner-themed Pokémon from multiple generations.
