Did You See the Fighting Rainbow? As opposed to "Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?"
(Lyrics from Hybrid Rainbow, a song by my favorite band, the pillows, which was used in episode 2 of my favorite anime, FLCL.)
I'm actually really looking forward to seeing what will be in these sets! And I'm hoping Ho-oh GX will be interesting and playable. The past two EX's weren't super great. The first one saw very little play, and the last one probably hasn't seen any play. (Meanwhile, both Lugia EX's were very much playable.) Necrozma will probably be nifty too.
500 secret rares feels accurate. >:| Pull rates for Sun and Moon booster boxes were nonsense. Only 12 packs can have a combination of holos
and ultra rares,
1 to maybe 2 of which are full arts, and
maybe 1 rainbow rare or secret rare. Right before the set came out, there were reports that full arts took the place of the reverse and the secret rare energies took the place of the regular energy. I pre-ordered two booster boxes because it sounded like TPCi got their act together and made the pull rates a little bit better since there were so many ultra rares. But no, none of that was true. (There was confusion about some boxes which had the full art and reverse switch places, but the full art didn't
replace the reverse.) All things considered, I'd say the pull rates are worse than XY sets (which I would say had decent ultra rare pull rates, most of the time). Now, more than ever, TPCi needs to look back to the HGSS sets. Put regular GX's in the reverse slot and have 5 to 6 per box. Keep the full arts, rainbow rares, and secret rare as the rare slot, but have 4 to 5 per box. (And increase the holo pull rate slightly. Between two boxes, I still didn't come close to pulling all of the holos, and that's just sad.) /end rant
Ho-Oh and Necrozma are certainly an interesting combination as far as cover cards for corresponding sets go.
We're in Gen 7, so clearly it'll be 700.
Right, but we now have just over 800 Pokemon, and Necrozma
is #800, so obviously it will be 800.
