Collecting The "Look What I Pulled" & Pull Rates Thread

[Maserati777]

I bought 3 of the 3 packs from Walmart and 1 of the Rhyperior single blisters.


In the Rhyperior I got Delcatty Rev and Aggron Ex (Gardevoir pack)

In the 1st Furfrou pack I got Milotic Holo and Excadrill ATC Rev
In the 2nd Furfrou pack I got Sceptile Holo, Kyorge Rev and Ludicolo Rev
In the Ditto pack I got Crawdaunt Holo, M Gardevoir Ex(Aggron pack) and Ludicolo ATC Rev

So I now have 4 of each of those but not very many Gardevoir Ex or Mega Aggron Ex. Those two seem to be common ex's. The Crawdaunt is a new holo, finally found a new holo but can't seem to find new ex's. So after about 15 of the 3 packs I've only opened 1 that didn't contain a holo or ultra rare/secret rare.

Spent a fortune today on 3 promo boxes and a tin box.

tin box: nothing
Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre collection box: nada

I opened Mega DiancieEX Premium collection box last (most expensive one) and FINALLY got some good cards:

Spoiler

I already have a FA Malamar, but at least it helps me create a deck around them and my megaCharizard since they'll both need dark energy. I pulled the EX cards 3rd and 2nd to last.

In my last pull I also managed to get Victory Kiss Jynx which is one of my favorite support pokemon. I use her a lot on the PTCG online.

Today I bought a Primal Kyorge Box, a Groudon Tin, 3 Ditto packs and 2 Kalos starter boxes.

The best card I got was the Full Art Mega Aggron from the Groudon Tin.

The Kyorge box had nothing except a rare reverse...

The 3 packs had Primal Kyorge Ex, Sharpedo FA and Kingdra Holo. Though Kingdra is horribly miscut.

The Full Art Aggron is perfect though, not miscut, no white blotches on the back and there's only 1 Pokemon on the card.

The 2 boxes both had G Scope Ace spec.

Got a Furfrou 3 pack and managed to pull Groudon EX. I swear this guy keeps popping up as I had gotten 1 FA Groudon EX and 1 Primal Groudon EX during the prerelease, then another Groudon EX with the boosters I got as a prize and now this...

Someone is complaining about pulling arguably the best EX in the set?

Spoiler

I'd fix that link and comment before you post if I were you. Back on topic, bought another 3 pack and rubbish was all I got. But I managed to get 2 Gardevoir Spirit Links which I needed, 1 reverse holo.

Bought 10 Primal Clash Booster packs from wal-mart recently, things weren't looking good but this beauty from the very last pack made it all worth it. Sleeved it right away and barely even touched it xD

 

[Maserati777]

Got to Kyorge Tin, 2 Furfrou blisters and a 3 pack.

Spoiler

Got a new Trevenant Ex, interestingly I've pulled 3 full art Trevenant's and this is the first regular ex.

Also a Dialga Ex in the 3 pack. The Kyorge Tin had crap nothing so I guess Kyorge is unlucky in all forms of merchandise, boxes, tins, packs.

 

[Binx345]

I bought the primal Groudon box set (with figure) and pulled a Mega Manectric EX as well as a FA Wailord EX.

Bought 2 of the single blister packs (with 1 promo holo card) from Primal Clash and pulled a Trevenant EX.

 

[BtownKj]

I've spent a fortune lately. But so far this week I've pulled a Secret Rare M Kangaskhan, Full Art Lysandre, Yveltal EX, & Aegislash EX

Why would I need to fix it? Looks good to me

Well it happened, the streak is over. I bought 2 Furfrou packs yesterday. The first had 3 non holo rares and the second had a holo Milotic.

A streak of 25-30, is pretty good considering I bought like 15 of the 3 packs from Phantom Forces and didn't get a single ex.


Overall I think I only opened 2 that had 3 non holo rares, the rest had either a holo, ex, full art or secret rare.

I have two Tidal Storm booster bixes coming this month. I bought Tidal Storm for two reasons, it contains the Ancient Trait Kingdra which I really want in Japanese and it contains Gardevoir Ex Full Art which I really want and can't seem to find in English so hoping I get that.

Today went to Target and got 2 Ditto 3-packs and 2 Rhyperior packs. Got a Trevenant Ex in the first Ditto pack, an Aggron Ex in the second Ditto pack and a Sharpedo Ex in a Rhyperior pack.

I actually ended up buying the only two 3 packs on the shelf that didn't contain a Kyorge pack in them.

While Kyorge isn't completely unlucky, I've found the packs that are most lucky are the ones with 2 of the same artwork of either Aggron, Gardevoir or Groudon and a 3rd pack of any artwork or a 3-pack with 1 of those 3 mentioned. Also Ditto has been more lucky for me then Furfrou. The first 3-packs I ever bought from this set all had Ditto on them (the store didn't have Furfrou) and each pack had an ultra rare. Then later on I bought 4 Furfrou packs and got no ultras. Even later I bought 4 Ditto packs and got an ultra in each pack.


Also Camerupt seems almost impossible to pull from the set.

Also Camerupt seems almost impossible to pull from the set.

I find that interesting. Both my friend and I pulled a Camerupt-EX at the prerelease in our first 8 packs, being the only EX/SR in those packs entirely.

 

[Maserati777]

Opened a Flashfire 3 pack and a couple Primal Clash 3 packs.

Spoiler

Overall I got a new Huntail Holo and a new Rev Magcargo.

But the Flashfire 3 pack was kind of crazy. That's my 5th Full Art Charizard pulled. It's also the first Full Art I've pulled 5 of, following behind it are Juniper and Tornadus with 4 each.

I also got another Reshiram Ex, the only ex's I need from Next Destinies are both Kyurem's and both Mewtwo's.

 

[Maserati777]

Here's what I got today from Walmart and Dollar Tree.

Spoiler

That's my second full art ever pulled from Dollar Tree(After Xerosic), those are actually my first 5 packs from this set from Dollar Tree also. That's my 4th M Gardevoir FA(One Japanese)

I also got Dive Ball SR and Trevenant Ex in the same pack, so thats my second time getting aSR and an ex in a single 3 pack(After Flashfire M Charizard Y SR and Toxicroak FA), the other big card was the Professor Juniper FA in the PF packs, and I got a Dragonite Holo and a Rock Guard Ace Spec in the same pack. Aside from that I got Kyorge Ex and Metagross holo.

Have they changed the rate of EX cards in the newer packs? I've been a casual card buyer for a while now, buying one or two a month and I used to get an EX in every pack, but now I've bought around 20 from different series and only got one so far - Gardevoir.

From what I've seen, the pull rates for ultra rares has actually been increasing lately. I myself pulled 13 ultra rares total from 2 primal clash boxes, whereas for some of the older sets, I'd be lucky to pull 4 per box.

That said, before I got the primal clash boxes, I bought a bunch of loose packs from my local card store, and out of 20 packs, I only pulled 2 EX cards. I think for Flashfire, I bought about 15-20 and only got 1 ultra rare, so with boxes there are somewhat guaranteed ratios, but with loose packs it's very hit and miss.

Thanks! So I would be better off to buy boxes or tins?

 

[Athena]

Booster boxes are probably better if only because each individual pack is cheaper when you buy a box versus buying tins, but either way you can get lucky or unlucky.

 

[Maserati777]

Booster boxes range from having 4 ex's to having 9. I have terrible luck with booster boxes, I've never pulled more then 2 full arts in a booster box and my Primal Clash box was the first box where I pulled more then 5 ex's and it was the first box I've ever pulled a secret rare from. I've opened like 10 booster boxes ever.


That said I've probably pulled an ex on average in 7 out of every 10 of the 3 packs. I mean I literally just pulled 2 of the secret rares this month out of the Ditto packs.

I once went to Target, bought 4 Ditto packs off the shelf and pulled 2 full arts and 2 ex's, one in each pack.

By comparison, I opened maybe 15 of the Phantom Forces 3 packs and didn't get a single ex.

Also I don't know if it means anything but out of all the ultra rares I've pulled from Primal Clash, aka maybe 40, a majority of them were from Mega Aggron packs and only two regular ex's were from Primal Kyorge packs. I've found Primal Kyorge packs are duds for ex's. I'm talking about the plastic pack, not the cardboard pack.

 

[ilovecommas]

Is it true you can tell if a pack has an EX card in it because it weighs just a bit more than ones that don't? I've been told people have come into the store asking to weigh the card packs.
