Destined Rivals Build & Battle Box (2025): Contents and MSRP
By Dexhaul Team · October 9, 2026 · 5 min read
The Destined Rivals Build & Battle Box is the lowest-cost entry point to SV10.
It contains a 40-card ready-to-play deck, four Scarlet & Violet Destined Rivals booster packs, and one of four set-stamped Cosmos holo foil promos: Ethan's Typhlosion, Misty's Gyarados, TR Mimikyu, or TR Tyranitar. The MSRP is $14.99 USD, matching every other Build & Battle Box in the Scarlet & Violet series.
Here is everything that is in the box, how the cost stacks up against the ETB and Booster Bundle, and which buyers should reach for it first.
What's Inside the Destined Rivals Build & Battle Box
The box ships with a prebuilt deck ready for play straight out of the packaging. No deck construction required, no extra energy cards to hunt down.
| Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Destined Rivals booster packs | 4 | SV10 Scarlet & Violet booster packs |
| Ready-to-play 40-card deck | 1 | Trainer and Energy cards included for balanced gameplay |
| Set-stamped Cosmos holo foil promo | 1 of 4 | Ethan's Typhlosion, Misty's Gyarados, TR Mimikyu, or TR Tyranitar (random) |
The foil promo is a Cosmos holo, meaning the card face has a starfield texture on the artwork rather than a traditional holofoil pattern. It carries the Destined Rivals set stamp. You receive one at random: there is no way to choose which promo you get.

MSRP and Price Per Pack
At $14.99 MSRP, the Build & Battle Box works out to $3.75 per booster pack before counting the deck and promo. That is the lowest MSRP per pack of any SV10 sealed format.
| Format | MSRP | Booster Packs | MSRP Per Pack | Extras Included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build & Battle Box | $14.99 | 4 | $3.75 | 40-card deck, 1 foil promo |
| Elite Trainer Box | $49.99 | 9 | $5.55 | Accessories, 2 promos, storage box |
| Booster Bundle | $23.99 | 6 | $4.00 | None |
MSRP sources: Build & Battle Box and Elite Trainer Box MSRP consistent across all Scarlet & Violet series products; Booster Bundle MSRP per standard SV-era retail pricing. Observed prices at independent sellers may differ. Check the DexHaul collection boxes page for current listings.
The Promo Split: Hero or Villain
The four promos in the Destined Rivals Build & Battle Box are not a random grab-bag. They are a deliberate narrative split tied directly to the set's "Whose Side Are You On" theme.
Ethan's Typhlosion and Misty's Gyarados represent the hero trainers: Ethan from the Johto storyline and Misty from the Kanto arc. TR Mimikyu and TR Tyranitar fly Team Rocket's banner. The promo you pull is, in effect, a story beat about which side you are fighting for.
No other SV10 sealed product makes this split explicit. The Elite Trainer Box promos are format-specific, and single boosters carry no promo at all. The Build & Battle Box is the only retail product in the Destined Rivals lineup where the included card carries overt narrative weight.

Release Timeline
The Build & Battle Box followed the standard Scarlet & Violet prerelease schedule, reaching local game stores before the wider retail launch.
| Date | Event | Status |
|---|---|---|
| May 17–25, 2025 | Prerelease events at local game stores | Complete |
| May 30, 2025 | Destined Rivals full retail launch (SV10) | Released |
Prerelease kits distributed at LGS events during May 17–25 contained the same four promo types. The retail Build & Battle Box sold from May 30 onward is the standard version you will find from independent sellers today.
Who Should Buy the Build & Battle Box
New players learning the game
The 40-card deck is ready to use without any additional purchases. It is the only Destined Rivals product that gives a complete, playable deck straight out of the box. For someone who has never played before, $14.99 MSRP is a far lower barrier than the Elite Trainer Box, which provides no pre-built deck.
Collectors chasing a specific promo
If you want Ethan's Typhlosion or Misty's Gyarados specifically, the BBB is your only retail route to those set-stamped Cosmos holo versions. The draw is random, so be prepared to buy multiples or trade for the one you want. The Destined Rivals Booster Bundle skips the promo entirely and gives six packs instead, which is worth considering if the promo is not your priority.
Who should skip it
If your goal is maximising booster pack count, the Booster Bundle (6 packs at $23.99 MSRP) gives a better per-pack ratio in a single product. Players building competitive decks will want singles, not a prebuilt 40-card starter deck. And collectors hunting Special Illustration Rares should look at the full Destined Rivals format overview before committing to any sealed product.
