649 - My first Scarlet/Violet Pokemon TCG pack opening! Booster Box

One of the coolest base sets we've ever had imo!! Count how many times I call something "the guy"

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Let me know which pack I should shiny hunt in a future video! (as in, which pack from this opening I should shiny hunt every pull from, not which set I should open next lol)

[@PandaPlayzPokemon]

Shining legends 😂

[@gingr001]

Base set 😈

[@Saw78967]

More Scarlet and violet

[@yomama5419]

The pack with two Klawfs, get two Klawfs

[@asclepihex]

I really want you to hunt a Gogoat pack and name the Gogoat "Wham!"

[@erinfee5104]

The magnemite and magikarp are by Kiyotaka Oshiyama, a very prolific anime artist and director! He consistently brings a great sense of depth and detail to his cards, like the alt arts of Charizard VSTAR, Medicham V, and Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX.

[@Kwikpanik]

I vote for the Ralts, Tandemaus, Floette, Hypno, Sandaconda, Revavroom, Skeledirge pack. It's got some really nice diversity!

[@Axqu7227]

Sada’s Empanadas was right there!!! Also: my headcanon is that Sada is the editor of Occulture in the Violet universe and Turo is the head of Occulture in the Scarlet universe. Both are competing to see who neglects Arven the hardest in all cases

[@Olig1]

I know these openings probably do more harm than good to your algorithm, but they really are some of my favourite videos to watch (especially when shiny hunting) so thank you for uploading them :) And congrats on completing on the Miriam evolution line!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

appreciate that!! Yeah they don't do numbers at all, but I don't mind that because of comments like this & when people tell me they enjoy them!

[@BroseidonLive]

It always feels so weird seeing the new Pokemon on cards for the first time!!! It really solidifies them as real to me for some reason lmao dang it Matt you have me wanting to buy some packs now

[@FrostFlurry92]

I really love how they did the illustration rares for the Ralts line. It tells a consistent story, & makes me think of Up but a happy ending.

[@parker3516]

I absolutely adore the ralts line telling the life story of that family, so happy I ended up pulling the kirlia from an ETB

[@ShinyDracozolt]

Dang! Congrats on getting two of the biggest cards in the set in one box, but you got so many good cards. ScarVio base is really just built different; all the cards are so fun.

[@KatiesDreamShinies]

The silver borders is everything!!!! Really liked the idea of picking a pack to shiny hunt! ^^

[@AlphaStoutland]

Amazing booster box! That's wild that you pulled both Miriams in the same box, her special illustration rare was my chase for the set and I'm so happy to have pulled it early on in my SV pack openings. Beautiful card, and of one of my favorite new characters!

[@maractusradio]

I was just watching your crown zenith video yesterday. What a coincidence

[@lexlazaruz]

Hey Matt :) Really cool opening! The trainer full arts are my favourites in every set. They just look fantastic! Congrats on the amazing pulls!

[@kaitlynfurlong4205]

your comment on turos churros is funny when you take into account that in scarlet version he is just out there somewhere doing his own thing. might just be that lol

[@pandemedley9378]

26:23 - Sada's Malasadas, obviously!

[@ketchup016]

Mmm, I just googled that and they sound good

[@Swellow45]

I spent 50 hours, 5360 encounters on shiny Torchic at the start of Alpha Sapphire, found the shiny and then reset over it in shock. Glad this video could cheer me up

[@Ron_Don_Valante]

Nice video once again. I have a elite trainer box I’m gonna open tomorrow with my buddy. I’ve never bought cards so have no idea what to expect or know what’s good or not.

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

Dude you literally pulled the most valuable Art Rare, the most valuable Full Art and on top of that, the most valuable card in the set!! How the heck!!

[@KEKEISYOU]

8:35 they are drawn by the same person! Every card says who illustrated it in the bottom left corner

[@rechu]

It would cool to see your collection in a video!

[@sassyaudino9762]

Sada would open a shop in Alola called Sada's Malasadas :)

[@TheSuperqami]

649 is the number of Pokémon that existed in total when gen 5 was the latest Gen

[@ThePallydan]

Thanks for the shoutout dude! Glad you got such a killer box.

[@AnthonyKase]

I love watching your card openings!

[@RokkTheRock]

i love how there was a houndoom with fire spitting out around it, intense pose, ready for action, followed by a sweet little fidough 🌸🌼✨ truly the duality of pokemon dogs

[@blounesky1658]

Hey absol, quick question for you: What camera do you use when you quad hunt? The quality is so neat and since I wanna start streaming, I'd like to do it with the best quality possible :)

[@Ddddddddddd381]

There’s such a big opportunity to change up the types for cards and it would be super cool. Imagine pulling a lightning type Gyarados. It would be like the super old delta species

[@demonchidaruma5683]

ayyy, gash bell figure in the back! based.

[@elinasanglert1520]

That miriam card was sooooo pretty! I love the pink

[@KrystalArtz4355]

Congrats on the Miriam. I felt the exact same way when I picked my Special Illustrated Rare Iono card from the new Paldea Evolved pack.

[@gingr001]

Love the new channel icon!

[@BlueVacktor]

dude i'm SO JEALOUS OF THE MIRIAM CARDS.. also I vote that you shiny hunt for miriam!!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

I am going to find Miriam in real life wish me luck

[@BlueVacktor]

@@AbsolBlogsPokemon AYOOOOOO

[@ZenobiaSE]

Turo’s churros and Sada’s empanadas for sure!

[@CarterNesta-zj8vy]

I love dondozo’s move “Release Rage”

[@ultimatron9084]

Hey Matt ButyoucancallmeAbsol! LOVE your content bro. I think I’ve watched all your videos 3 times now and they really help me relax and inspire me to play old Pokémon games again and again. I have started playing Pokémon Ultra Moon yesterday and noticed that you don’t have an USUM movie. Is that because it’s so similar to SM? Just curious if I missed something or if there was another reason. Keep working hard and being awesome!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Thanks so much!! I decided early into my USUM playthrough that instead of making a movie, I would focus on setting up for the shiny only gauntlet and the trial quest I did. Wish I made one!

[@dany_fg]

I bought a scarlet elite trainer box and got Koraidon ex (full illustration), Gyarados ex and the regular Koraidon with special art (only in the elite box). the illustration Koraidon ex is so good! when I pulled I couldn't believe I got it

[@leftygurl]

this set really made a good first impression on me, of my first two packs i pulled a full art jacq and a magneton ex. compared to previous generations’ packs, these really feel like they have more inherent value.

[@thomyads]

BOTH??? MIRIAMS?? That's the definition of a Handsome Jackpot

[@xseacreature]

i was holding my miriam full art right as you pulled yours while i was watching this, that’s so crazy

[@mimikyugigas8106]

a kilowattrel doing the magnificent frigatebird puff would be my most wanted card as a birdwatcher

[@HarpieKing]

So I've set myself a challenge for Pokemon cards. I'm getting every single printing of Jynx (My favourite Pokemon) but I'm only allowed to buy them with funds I make from KZbin (as of February) I'm a bit confused with some of the releases in TCG. Are they fully related to what is in Scarlet and Violet? I'm meaning, Jynx is not in Scarlet or Violet but does that mean she'll never get a new card printed in any Scarlet & Violet set or is it a bit random which pokemon appear in the cards?

[@Twinklethefox9022]

These card packs are great. Thought I wish I could get a Tinkaton. Funny enough I got a smaller box and gave a pack to both of my cousins. One of them got a gyrados ex...

[@playkawaii2104]

I think I'm gonna go check the entire card list for this one. Edit: No Farigiraf, only one flamigo :'( but very good overall 385!

[@nin10yen]

The gen 4 key item cards are all reprints since some were rotated out of standard format with the release of SV

[@greyscale1092]

6:00 Comfy in the desert sun at night?

[@MemoGGG16]

That was a crazy box! Congrats, Matt!!!

[@YYangles]

I love the new scarlet and violet set My little brother opened one pack of scarlet and violet and he got the golden Miraidon ex on his first pack

[@SCP_SLOW]

Absolutely hyped to get these soon too

[@caiojusten]

This was my first time buying a booster box (or a booster at all) and it was a lot of fun to open, but I was shocked to see that the cards come out so differently,Here in Brazil, there are only 6 cards per pack, and there is no guaranteed energy, and there are also a lot less rare cards. But in the end it was cool anyway,my favorite card I got was the full art Iron Threads with a cool pattern on it (i got a oinkologne with this pattern too) It's a shame the booster box is way too expensive

[@Phantump_Enjoyer]

Ive been ill and this is a great way to end my day

[@PandaPlayzPokemon]

Love the vids Matt ❤️

[@Loch32]

i didnt know about the gigachad thing they did on twitter and it's the best thing ive ever seen

[@spaghettios45]

im always so exited when i see you upload a video like this great video

[@CinnaBox]

The scarlet and violet base set is awesome so far

[@seich-of-lacan-getter514]

New level 100 gauntlet idea for you, only fighting Gimmighoul, since the lowest level Gimmighoul you can catch is level 5, i guess you cant use one for the run. So maybe a Sableye or Misdreavus. They reset everyday, in lots of place, not just the towers, look at ruins and stuff, you can even find one as early as the light house you meet Arven, on the cliff thing right next to it on its right(your right when you are exiting the lab room. Or for one of the older games, Can you beat a level 100 gauntlet by hunting for a shiny in every route in a pokemon Nuzlocke. As in, you have to beat every pokemon you encounter until you catch your shiny, the onto the next route, but you have to be able to beat the nuzlocke, as in you have to win, not with your Gauntlet pokemon, but with your shiny pokemon, like when Story stuff happens, or their are trainers still on the route, your gauntlet pokemon goes back in the box until the story stuff passes, then you can go back. Id say X and Y, your starter can be your Gauntletmon due to starting with it, or maybe Oras or SM. SM could be easy, due to methods like sos chaining, but that could equally make it to easy and not level up enough, but Oras has the Dexnav hunting, and a higher chain means higher leveled mon, up to 20 levels higher then normal for the route, which would add a level of difficulty, you could make it an added rule that the Gauntletmon is also applied to nuzlocke rule of that its considered dead if knocked out

[@spielosophtv]

Such a good and satisfying Display ❤

[@expo_pkmn]

I bought two of these packs and both of my rares were Banette ex. Neat art but I don't need two of em!

[@SmallFuzzyBug]

I think you might actually be the first youtuber I've encountered who pronounces "dachsbun" and "skwovet" the same way I do.

[@LycanRocky01]

These cards look so nice

[@AmphyTho]

matt jumpscare just now in camp, hey absol

[@okiedoketm4463]

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

[@Falgor62]

Hard agree on the Nest Ball being underrated!

[@awildvaporeon391]

[@shinyluckalfred4850]

LUCKY! YOU PULLED THE GOD BOX

[@emo-space-gay]

10:16 "toedscool fans are eating well this set" i think that was funny to say right after i (a toedscool fan) learned that there are two toedscool cards lmao ig i need to open more packs (ive opened way too many for my wallet already lmaoo)

[@thechubledpotato]

Congratulations on the great pulls

[@jonathanbradley4639]

This was an enjoyable opening to watch

[@sebastianb4357]

Turo has his churros and sada can make empanadas

[@qisadreamer5833]

do you think rare candy tastes like a switch cartridge.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

If so, I would be concerned for the safety of my Switch cartridges when Pokemon are around them

[@neo_b]

Sada can sell Tostadas, “Tostada de Sada”

[@BrotatoChip-jg8jn]

Favourite KZbin ❤

[@RebelTrooperHoth]

I had to stop myself from getting one of these so i could try to get alt Drowzee

[@poloniumt]

Sada can open up an enchilada stand and call it Sada Enchilada or something.

[@AnimalXing]

I’m a simple man, I see an absolblogs vid, I click

[@itmealice]

packs are in fact weighable unfortunately because of how they did code cards...

[@wavypavy4059]

Sada could open an empanada shop

[@ArchonZach]

Sada's enchiladas

[@exotccc]

Fire red leaf green fire red Pokédex?

[@ExpiredSa1t]

26:22 Sada’s Malasadas

[@AshRektum]

hey Absol, question ! when you shiny hunt in gen 2 on multiple gameboys, do you use all authentic copies of the same game or 1 authentic and the rest repo ? I'm curious because I want to start hunting on 4 gameboys, but I only have 1 authentic copy of silver at the moment
