06Current Market Value

07Why Collectors Want It

• Released in 2025's Destined Rivals, the modern set that revived the Team Rocket's-prefixed Pokémon variants in an Illustration Rare treatment.
• Team Rocket's Raticate connects the Raticate stage back to the Team Rocket lore that defined the WotC-era Dark/Rocket's-prefixed variants.
• Holo market sits around $7; modern IR centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades on full-art prints.
• A natural pickup for collectors who want to bridge the WotC-era Team Rocket prints to the modern Destined Rivals revival.

08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Illustration Rare; PSA 10 population is climbing as collectors submit chase cards.

Centering and edge wear are common downgrade reasons; verified PSA 10s carry meaningful premiums.

Other graders: CGC submissions trend up for modern IRs; PSA remains the resale standard.
