Pokemon China has officially revealed the Team Rocket Grand Scheme Exclusive Gift Box, a premium briefcase-style collector set launching alongside the new Chasing Glory Together booster on July 16, 2026. Priced at 780 CNY (roughly $114 USD), the set centers around a black faux-leather briefcase emblazoned with the iconic red 'R' logo and packs in a full competitive accessory loadout plus an exclusive Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex shiny promo card.
Collector Takeaway
This is the premium Team Rocket collector piece for the Chinese market in 2026. The briefcase alone justifies shelf display value, and the Mewtwo ex promo will be mandatory for anyone building competitive Team Rocket decks using the Chasing Glory Together card pool.
Japan's version proved that Team Rocket briefcase products hold strong secondary market value. At 780 CNY, this is an aggressive price point but the accessory count and exclusive promo make it the definitive purchase for the Chasing Glory Together launch window. Expect high demand and limited restocks.
The box arrives as part of a broader Team Rocket-themed product wave tied to the Chasing Glory Together (共逐荣光) expansion, which features Owner's Pokemon cards including Giovanni's team. Japan received a similar Team Rocket briefcase product over a year ago that became one of the most sought-after collector items in the region; this Chinese release follows the same premium formula with region-specific contents.
The Team Rocket Briefcase
The centerpiece of this gift box is a black faux-leather briefcase featuring the iconic Team Rocket red 'R' logo front and center. The material uses textured faux-leather with fine detailing that gives it a premium, menacing aesthetic matching Team Rocket's cold and imposing image.
Beyond looks, the briefcase is designed for practical use. The interior features dedicated compartments for card storage alongside space for all battle accessories. Whether heading to a local league session or a tournament, everything fits in one portable package. Metal corner protectors and a sturdy carrying handle complete the executive villain look.
