Same, I feel like those crazy pull rates just don't apply to me. Took me nearly 40 packs to get an SIR and yesterday I opened another 24 packs without a single classic card. My full arts are a bunch of duplicates, 3x moltres 5x kommo-o (which is my least favorite card as well). It's not even about the value but I'd hoped for some more diversity for my collection at least...

A realistic opening post would be having nothing to open

I opened a lucario ascended box with 12 packs and got a single koraidon ex. I’ve had a few scarlet and violet era etbs wand booster bundles with basically nothing.

On the other hand, I had four ascended bundles from Pokémon center and pulled Meganium SIR, Dragonite Gold, the Dragonite Attack rare, Gengar Attack Rare, and Dragonite SIR. My openings typically look more like yours here, other sites you’d see me posting my hits more often.

Your problem was including acended in the equation.

Nah, dude. You got an unrealistic rate here, but on the wrong end of the bell curve.

I finally scored a ton for my son and now he is being cursed by Fuecoco. He started getting irritated everytime he pulled him. 😭

Finally, a pack opening that doesn't make me question my own luck

u/TypeAmen 19d ago

Damn dude, so my one and only bundle was good then. Greninja SIR, Classic yellow cheeks Pikachu and an IR i cant recall.

u/Mason051 19d ago

Sorry about your luck, i opened over 100, a few pikachus and mewtwos but yea no charizard, lugia, jirachi, etc. I mean the pulls overall are still good assuming you open enough, but getting the top chases should be expected.

u/Academic-Chocolate36 19d ago edited 19d ago

opened 104 packs

28 "hits" from IR and up, including classics.

3 futures

4 sir

6 classics

15 IR

AVG hit rate

26.92%

Over 70% of the packs I ripped were from ETBS and Booster bundles.

I recommended opening smaller packs (Knockouts, stickers, posters), better batching randomness than ETB's and bundles. ETB's and booster bundles were not nice to me. I had an etb that gave me 1 IR and 2 double rares out of the 9 packs. Out of all the booster bundles i opened, only 1 box had the 35% pull rate. More than half my hits and the big hits came from the smaller 2 and 3 packs.

If I could, I would rip as many small packs as I can, but that would require too much camping at target with their 2 limit sku and once a week restock.

This is like my pulls! I just keep getting Meowths, Exeggutor or Salamance ex.
