I've had ETB's like that -- actually a few years ago ended up with a booster box that did that. I was mortified when there really wasn't anything good in it but it was one of the sets that had the hardest pull rates since I started back collecting.
Cracked 50 sleeved blisters and hit carmine SIR and 20 hits so around 40% and 2 booster boxes and got a total of 16 hits. Sleeved blisters were better for me
There numbers aren’t off because they are assuming some have slightly different hit rates but rather because the 1 in x packs are using rounded data and the for a specific card is not rounding earlier in the calculation. Hit rates look roughly on par with Temporal Forces and lower than seen in year 1 of S&V era for the SIR and HR.
Well, up to Paradox Rift there really were exactly 3 lustration Rares in a booster box. Since TEF it has been usually 3, sometimes 2 (especially when a SIR was in the box) and once I have seen 4. So that may be where the number 13 comes from.
We opened 3 booster boxes, two of them had only two illustration rares. Whilst every set we’ve opened many boxes since SV and they’ve all had 3 illustration rares, this set we did not so I’m leaning into that one in 13 packs. We also got 0 SIR and just one gold (the luminous energy) so we really didn’t fair well this set 😢
Opened a 3-pack blister, ETB and 3 booster boxes on release day. Got Greninja SIR on first booster of the opening (from the 3-pack blister), and the Fire SIR Ogerpon from first booster box. Awesome that I pulled the Greninja which I wanted the most, but man the high of the first booster dulled down the rest of the boosters for sure 🤣
Pulled 3 IRs, 1 FA, 1AS and 5 exs from my booster box. 10 pulls in a booster box is not enough! With that said, I pulled 1 SIR, 1 IR, 1 AS and 2 exs in a PC ETB, so I can't complain too much
While most booster boxes have 3 IRs I’ve seen a bunch of openings with only 2 IRs in the box. There are definitely not a guaranteed 3 in the booster box although it is very likely. I think the average booster box looks roughly like: 6 regular ex 2 Ace Specs 2 Full Arts 3 IRs 1/2 SIR 1/3 HR
I had fantastic luck lately! I bought 1 pack of Temporal Forces and 1 pack of Twilight Masquerade and pulled gold BBP and illustration rare Raging Bolt ex🤩🤩
As much as these pull rates are disappointing, affordability across the board seems to be in a nice spot. Whales can buy cargo-ships of cards, singles abound, but the chase cards remain rare. Personally, it’s clear the pull rates change. When I went heavy into Evolving Skies, each booster box had an SIR. I pulled two from a box once. Which was clearly before “Evolving Cries” reprint cycles.
I bought my one and only booster box and I feel like I got lucky. I even pulled my chase card the blood moon ursaluna! I was jumping around happy😂 6 exs 2 ultra rares 2 ace spec 1 gold 3 illustration rare 1 special illustration rare.
not gonna lie my bb have been pretty well. I had 6 ir in 1 and 4 ir in another. I also pulled gold in 1 of them. but tbh I think that buying individual packs is the way to go. I bought 30 and pulled 2 SIR and gold.
I agree much worse I've opened 20 packs I got 1 illustration rare 1 regular ex 1 aspect local card shop gave me a box of around 100 commons and a guy sold me most of the ex cards I wanted for a good price so I'm done buying them I'm just gonna get the singles I want tbb I would rather buy older packs and try to complete my set or pull a valuable duplicate to trade at my local shop for something I don't have
Opened one boosterbox bc it was cheap, pull one sir ogrepon and some other hits, whatever this set really disappoints despite the hype and i think this set going to tank HARD
Same I got a total of 7 booster bundles since it came out and got Perrin x2 , Eve, Chancey x3 , blood moon ursaluna , and my best card of all grininja ex which I’m getting graded along with Perrin
grabbed 1 ETB and 4 Booster bundle dog shit pulls lol only got like 2 cards worth something got my ETB+ Booster Box combo comming in soon so hopefully i get something good cause i wont be opening this set nomore 😂💀💀
I feel like pokemon center are becoming greedy plus getting threatened off the pokemon center for asking a question plus they shut down the switch app now pokemon is on behind the paywall of bbc iplayer they probably make millions a year but seems like they don't care anymore
I grabbed a ETB at my local card shop. Besides the promo all I got was one regular ex card out of the whole thing.
That happens, I bought a 3 pack blister and pulled SIR Carmine. It happens

If you aren’t In it just for the fun of opening just buy singles . It is gambling lmao .
Yeah my ETB didn't even have a single Ex, no ace spec, no art, nothing.
I got a etb and didn’t even get an ex or better
Just gonna buy singles as soon as prices crash
lol, yea, crashed by like 30% already.
I thought about it but I decided to rip and pulled 2 perrin's now I'm thinking of buying 2 hisuian growlithe's
Cracked 50 sleeved blisters and hit carmine SIR and 20 hits so around 40% and 2 booster boxes and got a total of 16 hits. Sleeved blisters were better for me
The 1/86 vs 1/941 thing may come from rounding. If the SIR rate is really 1/85.5, 1/941 is probably more accurate.

Also to add, I watched Danny Phantump open a box with just a single illustration rare! But then that same box had 4 ace specs!
Opened a 3-pack blister, ETB and 3 booster boxes on release day. Got Greninja SIR on first booster of the opening (from the 3-pack blister), and the Fire SIR Ogerpon from first booster box.

Hey mate did you ever have another youtube channel by chance mate?
I opened 4 boosterboxes from twilight and still no sir so the odds are very against me
Pulled 3 IRs, 1 FA, 1AS and 5 exs from my booster box. 10 pulls in a booster box is not enough!

I think the average booster box looks roughly like:
6 regular ex
2 Ace Specs
2 Full Arts
3 IRs
1/2 SIR
1/3 HR
I had fantastic luck lately! I bought 1 pack of Temporal Forces and 1 pack of Twilight Masquerade and pulled gold BBP and illustration rare Raging Bolt ex🤩🤩
Is the booster box prices cheaper or is it cause the pull rates are bad
My pokemon center ETB had a tatsugiri IR and an ace spec. So I thought it wasn't terrible odds.
I had pretty good/bad luck with this set out of a etb and booster box. 2 gold and 3 SIR (all the same one), but none of my chase cards.

6 exs
2 ultra rares
2 ace spec
1 gold
3 illustration rare
1 special illustration rare.
I pulled 1 full art and 2 illustration rares out of 15 packs, not bad!
Opened a Booster Box with only 2 IRs, definitely felt a bit bad
not gonna lie my bb have been pretty well. I had 6 ir in 1 and 4 ir in another. I also pulled gold in 1 of them. but tbh I think that buying individual packs is the way to go. I bought 30 and pulled 2 SIR and gold.
Which are the most desirable/sought after cards in this set?
I agree much worse I've opened 20 packs I got 1 illustration rare 1 regular ex 1 aspect local card shop gave me a box of around 100 commons and a guy sold me most of the ex cards I wanted for a good price so I'm done buying them I'm just gonna get the singles I want tbb I would rather buy older packs and try to complete my set or pull a valuable duplicate to trade at my local shop for something I don't have
And somehow I pulled Carmine first pack when it released
I need that Carmine
Wow! I did well. 😅. Got an SIR in the one ETB I got. Another in a Booster box. Think I’m going to stop now.
Opened one boosterbox bc it was cheap, pull one sir ogrepon and some other hits, whatever this set really disappoints despite the hype and i think this set going to tank HARD
I got my fav special illustration rare in my second prerelease kit, I was sooooo lucky!
Btw it's Carmine SIR
Why they do stuff like this :/
Opened two etbs and got 8 “hits”
i opened one etb and all i got was two ex cards lmao
I’ve gotten booster boxes with 2 IR.
It’s probaly within a few percent points of being accurate, within 5-7%
A giant corporation does a bussiness decision to make more money? Shocking
No illustration rare in one of my etbs and just one in the other and they were pc etbs.
the pull rates were fucking fucking fucking fucking low in this set
Worst than normal? I just bought ETBs and a booster box and pulled crazy cards
Same I got a total of 7 booster bundles since it came out and got Perrin x2 , Eve, Chancey x3 , blood moon ursaluna , and my best card of all grininja ex which I’m getting graded along with Perrin
Brutal rates. Even worse than Paradox & Temporal
grabbed 1 ETB and 4 Booster bundle dog shit pulls lol only got like 2 cards worth something got my ETB+ Booster Box combo comming in soon so hopefully i get something good cause i wont be opening this set nomore 😂💀💀
of course im going to believe tcgplayers statistics over your gut feeling lol
I opened one etb and i got 1 ex, 2 ACE spects, and a sunflora AR so i think it's not that bad
Same for me. Got BM Ursaluna FA, 2 ace specs and the Tatsugiri AR.
Same number explanation over and over and over again is tedious my friend. One explanation of the numbers is fine. Then just give us the numbers...
This set is so bad. Pokemon cards are horrible right now.
🎉
I feel like pokemon center are becoming greedy plus getting threatened off the pokemon center for asking a question plus they shut down the switch app now pokemon is on behind the paywall of bbc iplayer they probably make millions a year but seems like they don't care anymore
Wossy doesn't understand the concept of rounding 😉
for all the business experience he touts, it's a bit sad
