RE: The "Pull Rates" Thread
I bought a DP4 Dash of Dawn booster box and got every single card from that set from only 17 packs. It's amazing how generous the Japanese were with packs back then. I got all three level X's and all holo cards! You get 1 holo, 2 rares and a bunch of common and uncommon with a guaranteed energy.
Too bad the new sets aren't as generous. But they're still better than English box ratios. Although DP - HGSS had decent ratios for pulling ultra rares. From an Arceus box I had 3 Level X's (Salamence, Tangrowth, and one of the Arceus), I don't remember which holos but a good number of them and a shiny Shinx. And from Undaunted I had all holos but Scizor, all Primes but Slowking and a full Kyogre and Groudon Legend and top half of Deoxys and Rayquaza Legend.
I did split a Boundaries Crossed box with my friend which had a Keldeo EX, Landorus EX, Black Kyurem EX, Crystal Wall and Shiny Rocky Helmet. No full arts though. Still pretty bad ratios. :\ But then again these EX's can be played immediately unlike the Primes and Level X's so if everyone had more access to them it could get pretty out of control. I hope the new sets don't have cards so overwhelming other than like one or two per set.
