    It can be worse. I opened a Pokemon center etb with 11 packs and didn’t get a single hit. Not even an EX. After that I promised myself I wouldn’t open anymore PC Etbs. I just collect them now.

      Ahh 😣 I just started collecting and it’s so hard for me to keep sealed products. But from what I’ve seen the PC ETB are the ones that sky rocket in price. Good investment especially if it’s something like Surging Spark or Prismatic Evolutions.

      Don’t worry, usually the pokemon centre promo comes to be worth more than the ETB itself

    This is why I keep everything sealed and buy the singles of cards I like.

      That’s a great strategy! I love the thrill of opening packs, but buying singles is the way to go for guaranteed hits!

    Pulled 1 ex out of the 9 packs, the promo and storage make it worth it enough for me, sadly not enough hits compared to stellar

      Yeah, would have liked at least 2 EXs. But it is what it is. Maybe next time.

    This set being so small makes pulls especially difficult 😭 Just finished my Shrouded Fable master set last week after months of chipping away at it! I really like this set, contrary to popular opinion 😅

    I was very lucky with this set. I bought kindra and Greninja boxes, pulled Persian from there and later I bought 2 buster bundles. One for my son and he pulled golden ethern wesel, 2ex and xerosic. I pulled Cassiopeia and a full art beware and okidogi ex.

    SF is my 1st set and i'm about 99% done on my master set. It was a tough battle. After opening 200 packs. I started buying singles. SF pull rates are seriously so bad.
    I bought a PC ETB on release only go only 2 t non full art EX. Only reason to buy the PC was for the stamped promo

    • @PokeTrainerRicky
      @PokeTrainerRicky  Місяць тому

      Congrats! I was excited for this set too, but after seeing and experiencing how bad the pull rates were, I decided to take a step back. After reading all the comments on this video, I might have to revisit that decision!

    I've had a few bundles, tins, and 3 pack blisters with 0 hits, so I know the feeling, man. Then you see others pull multiple crazy hits from the same product.. i feel more and more like batching and hit pack distribution are a problem. Pokemon is creating a few very happy customers and a lot of very disappointed ones this way. But maybe it is all just random, and this is just the harsh reality of opening Pokemon packs 😄😭

    • @PokeTrainerRicky

      Thanks for the comment! I didn't mean it literally; I wasn't actually scammed. I just felt that way because the pulls were so disappointing. To pay $50 and not get anything is tough 😭
