Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
Recent graded-sale data shows active trading but not explosive price movement, and the card has both a gameplay appeal and a collector appeal that usually supports stable demand. The existence of multiple print versions also keeps prices from becoming too thinly traded. [2][4]
Next months. Likely to trade in a narrow range unless a major competitive or collector-driven spike occurs.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the best-grade copies may gradually outperform raw copies if Team Rocket-themed cards remain a favored collecting niche.
History
Team Rocket's Persian ex is a modern Pokémon TCG card centered on Persian, the feline Pokémon originally introduced in the first generation of the franchise as the evolved form of Meowth. In this specific card line, the character is themed as an agent of Team Rocket, tying it to the long-running villain organization from the Pokémon universe and to the broader 'Team Rocket' legacy that has been repeatedly revisited in the TCG. The Korean release is part of the international printing of the 2025-era card line originating from the Japanese 'Glory of Team Rocket' expansion and later adapted into 'Destined Rivals.' [3][1]
The card was first released in Japan in the 'Glory of Team Rocket' expansion, then localized into the English 'Destined Rivals' set; the Japanese expansion is identified as the original release source for this card line. The card appears as a regular card and as a Full Art Ultra Rare in the international release, with the Korean version corresponding to that modern print cycle. [3][1][2]
- This card is a Stage 1 Pokémon ex with 260 HP and a Colorless type in the modern TCG ruleset. [1][2]
- Its attacks are 'Haughty Order' and 'Cruel Slash'; 'Haughty Order' lets you reveal the top 10 cards of the opponent's deck and potentially use an attack found there. [1][5]
- The card exists in at least two notable print variants in the international line: a regular print and a Full Art Ultra Rare print. [1][3][4]
Collector notes
Condition. Check centering, edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratching, and holofoil print lines, especially on the Full Art Ultra Rare version. Because modern textured full-art cards often show visible surface imperfections, inspect for print nicks, roller lines, and factory dents under strong light. [2][3]
Storage. Use a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver immediately after opening, and store away from heat, humidity, and direct light. For a premium Full Art card, keeping it sleeved inside a semi-rigid holder or graded slab is preferable if long-term preservation is the goal.
Authenticity. Compare font, texture, foil pattern, and back coloration against verified copies. Korean modern cards should have clean factory cutting, consistent gloss, and proper set numbering; suspicious signs include washed-out colors, incorrect holo texture, overly thick borders, and misaligned or blurry text. Cross-check the set number and artwork against known legitimate printings from the expansion line. [1][2][3]
