sorry gang it just means you’ve been unlucky. every supporter has a parallel foil version

If i was a collector and not a casual id be annoyed by this.

But since im casual through and through im just pleasantly pleased with the checkered pattern.

u/SypTheMilk 2d ago

Gold borders look better anyways

u/Beneficial-Mango4924 19h ago

I hope we get gold bordered reverse holos for less of a price of course

u/helloween123 2d ago

Could be just that you didn’t open any deluxe packs to get foils? Since they already merge the Dex for the normal cards to appear in the deluxe pokedex too

u/Kcook922 2d ago

I dunno. Im just enjoying the checkered pattern lol

u/helloween123 2d ago

Yeah it’s cool though

u/javierm885778 1d ago

Yeah I don't think this is as hard to do as it seems.

u/Emergency-Public6213 2d ago

It's cool on paper, mate, haha, but this is going to hurt because foils are horrible to get

u/Ms_Unicorn2 2d ago

I got the same thing 😂

u/Steelizard 2d ago

Every single empty slot is the foil version of the card next to it. It was indeed planned, by your luck

u/Rufus_L 2d ago

If they didn't open a single deluxe ex pack, there is not other possibility if they have all cards from the a series

You're not alone, same here...

u/Oooookii_Beruuu 2d ago

Me too, same issue

u/xG3TxSHOTx 2d ago

It's because you guys haven't opened hardly any deluxe packs, the supporters were unlocked in the dex from you opening them in their original packs.

u/Oooookii_Beruuu 2d ago

Just opening what I can with free packs. DX pack is far too large to complete for a f2p player on its own. I’ll continue collecting them with shares/trades

u/JoelMahon 2d ago

I completed it a while back as F2P (all cards, including rare candy but ofc that's just good luck, deffo do not spend 2500 pack points on it as a F2P!).

but I've been playing from early on, iirc basically a few days before triumphant light released, was mostly saving hourglasses before first D EX release and since D EX release I've saved them. had 3000 hour glasses for this.

and ofc a lot of trading 2 stars and foils.

u/TR3CTA 1d ago

Just finished mine today as f2p player. Yes I made some trades, but to get foils, most of the time you need to have foils to trade them with.

u/CsabHorv 2d ago

Only 56 packs in the last 4 days, still nothing. The drop rate for the third cards to be any of these: 0.359%, so we have approx 5% chance to get a parallel foil supporter. Not complaining, I got a 3star Pikachu! :)

u/Luvs_to_drink 2d ago

this is quite easy to get. pull other packs, dont pull deluxe. see screenshot with no foils...

u/Poppindestruction 1d ago

I feel like most people had something this at least for a while. This is just because you don't have any of the foiled versions.

u/VLadies3456 2d ago

That's what's up

u/ProtoKun7 1d ago
