The fact that this set had so much potential to be amazing and the pull rates seem even worse than battle styles, and also the print quality is straight doodoo, really urks me a lot

[jonpeters]

The actual conspiracy, make a set with 35 secrets and the potential for great hits. Make the pull rates terrible. Piss off as many people as possible so they leave the hobby before we hit another shortage/scalping with Eevee Heroes and Celebrations

[MagisterMatt]

We desperately need an EU Pokémon Center.

Glad to see im not the only 1 that opened 10 packs n only got 1 hit

[DirtyPlumbus]

I haven't even bought any Chilling Reign and I'm already tired of seeing Tsareena.

This was my luck with vivid voltage etb. Got absolutely nothing and never cared to open the set again lol.

I order 3 ETBS and only got 2 Vmax which were the same and 3 holos. They definitely nerfed the pull rates in the ETB's. I'm just gonna buy the cards I want from eBay. Opening packs is a losing game.

[jindraws]

My very first pack had an alternate art Tornadus V so I was instantly hyped… until 15packs later with only a Volcanion V to add to that.

Hey Jake, do you know if the coin from the Pokemon Center version will be replaced as well? It is not listed in the email but the box shows a metallic coin instead of the jumbo coin. Thanks!

Last time I was this early Jake was only once baked

The Pokémon center version is just gonna be a more valuable sealed item in the long run. There’s no good reason to open them they’re just a unique variant in ETB and the main attraction is the actual text that says “Pokémon center” on it

[WankZilla]

I noticed how the V cards have a much different back in terms of texture, you can see it in the light compared to regular cards. The edges are also very rough

[lewishorsman]

It’s easier buying Japanese versions. Cheaper or the same price as an ETB but you get a secret rare minimum in every box.

[Diversion]

It’s very inconsistent, I opened two PC ETBs and both had a single hit and one was just a regular holo and that’s it. Opened a regular ETB I ordered from Walmart and 4/8 packs had hits. Managed a full art Galarian Articuno which was nuts. So yeah it’s hit or miss with this set

[MrEon]

Not the best pulls.. rip. Quick question, is it worth putting sealed ETB's in seal protectors(thin plastic), acrylic cases or neither? Just wanted to check before I collect some more for myself. Cheers!

[NostalgicNolan]

Jake no cap, I got 0 holos from the etb i had. No Fs for me though, I already pulled the Golden lax day 1.

[ashleylewis]

I pulled a gold water energy from one ETB and a different gold card (forgot which one it was) from a booster box

[bbhawks]

When you said 5 hits hopefully I laughed and thought he better be calling holo hits 🤣

[ClaytonClays]

Daaaamn pull rates and quality control. probably just gonna wait for the 2nd wave. Maybe their production will be better.

[konankiddo]

My luck has been so bad with this set aswell, I've opened booster
boxes, blisters, and etbs and have only pulled 3 full arts(the cheapest ones) and no secret rares
