I'm going to get a booster box but I'm not sure witch one to get, I'm kinda leaning twards RR because it has Luxray GL Lv.X and alot of Lv.X's witch (correct me if I'm wrong) increaces the chances of me getting a Lv.X in a pack, so I get more Lv.X's overall. But on the other hand, I'd be happy getting any Lv.X from SV, but in say RR cards like Hippodon Lv.X and Mismagius Lv.X don't seem that good to me. In PL I could get both Dialga G Lv.X, Palkia G Lv.X, and some nice trainers, but other then that the set doesn't have that many good cards. (Beside Shuppet witch I would need for the deck I'm building, but I can get them online) And in Arceus I really just don't see that many good Lv.X's, mainly just Gengar Lv.X and Salamance Lv.X.

So what box should I get?
 
Have you ever considered HG/SS? but if you had to pick one of the boxes you mentioned i would pick RR just because its cool lol and it has cool lv X's

I don't want HG/SS because it doesn't really have any good cards, LEGEND pokemon are just a wierd concept, and so far there arn't any good great pokemon.
BTW, I'm lloking at this at a player's view, not a collector's. I'm not going to buy a box because it has cool Lv.X's, I'll get one because it has good Lv.X's
 
Where are you getting the boxes from? And how much are they?

P.S I would go for Rising Rivals.
 
If you don't want HGSS then I think RR would be a good set for you.

Unless you are lacking in tools for SPs. In which case dive into Platinum.

Exactly why I would go with platinum. Has all of the great sp tools, by the sounds of what you're looking, I'd say you're after an sp deck. Platinum will most likely survive the next rotation anyways. RR has so many junk rares it's stupid. Nidoqueen is good, but you can get one online for about $1. Plus platinum has honchkrow g, weavile g, dialga g, palkia g, etc.

sorry when i meant cool i ment good :p rising rivals has very good lv x's. so yeah i would buy that over any other box :D
 
You can also trade.

If you're not into the idea of Primes and Legends, hit Rising Rivals or Platinum. I got a box of Arceus, and there's good stuff there for trading purposes, but that's about it.

Seriously, if you're into deck building though, either just buy the cards you want direct, or buy a box and start trading. That's the best way.

Are you serious? You dont think any of those Prime or Great pokemon are good?

Whats not good about 1 for 60? (donphan)

Damage your pokemon by 10 just for playing an energy. (amphy)

Attach an energy from the discard pile to your pokemon ((power) Typhlosion)

Those are great cards.
-no pun intended. lol

But if you really feel that way, I would say Rising Rivals. Just like almost everyone else.
 
I'm surprised no one has corrected him yet. The fact that there are 9 Lv X's in the set (RR) does not increase your chance of pulling one. There are only 2 per box in RR still. Although, all of it's Lv X's are worth at least $10. But, I'd have to go with Platinum only because of how important all of those SP trainers and supporters are as well as the possibility of DGX and PGX

Ok. Well let me correct you.

You CAN pull more then 2 Lv X cards in a box of RR. I did.
Hippowdon LvX, Kazam Lv X, and Magius Lv X.
(names are shortened)
 
I would go for Platinum. If you're using an SP deck, you're set as far as T/S/S go, and if not, the trainers are excellent trade-bait for whatever you might need from other sets.
 
i wouldnt buy RR. my friend pulle 1 X in his box. and either way youve got maybe a 12% chance of getting what X you want. i would go with platinum or HGSS
 
People are saying RR, which is good, though most of the main cards in the set, which are SPs will require SP trainers, obtained through Platinum. Though if you do decide to get RR, you could just buy the trainers online or trade for them anyways. So I guess I would say RR too.
 
While Rising Rivals has a few neat cards, Platinum has the majority of the metagame staples, so I'd get that. I guess it all depends on which deck you want to run; get the box that has the most cards out of the ones you want to play, not the box that has only a small number of really good cards. Since money is at stake, quantity is better than quality here. Just don't get Supreme Victors.
 
personally I'd just get RR for mismagius lvl X, keep or trade the rest "then" get either SV, cause I did a stupid trade and want my Blazken FB lvl X back, plus there is good cards in SV, or PT for the same reason's Babasai said. choice's choice's good luck and good hunting. cya
