Did Pokemon Really Mess up THIS Bad? Pick-A-Pack For Science

This video was INSANE. From the amazing editing to the pretty much perfect pull of each cards for 72 window slots was extremely aesthetically pleasing. As well as that information in the form of a scientific video was entertaining as well and 100% should get more attention.

[@deeppocketmonster]

Aye thank you so much!!

[@bodooley1744]

I have some more experimental data to add to the discussion. I tried this on a booster box and indeed had a weight correlation but not the same one you had. For me all my hits were between 22.34 and 22.45. Anything either lighter or heavier than that range was a non hit.

[@RoyaltyGamingPokemon]

Glad you were able to shed some light on the set being weightable. Spread the knowledge!! Also thank you for the shoutout!

[@KingTheGermanShepherd]

Sagar!...

[@The167channel]

I got a huge hit. I got a Gengar Vmax. On my first pack.

[@FdaApprvd]

What about when they’re sleeved? Any tips for weighing those?

[@xthriteenx]

The black in is heavier isn’t it..,

[@BaconPlz]

I have been meaning to message you about this. I have a little bit more info on this. I've opened 6 booster boxes. 5 from a lgs and 1 from a pre-order. The 5 I opened from the lgs were all weighable and predictable, but the one on pre-order that was delayed wasn't weighable. So it makes me believe that when they switched the factory that use to focus on premium boxes to help out with mass producing bolster boxes that they aren't following the same algorithm that they are suppose to. So the distributor thst got their boxes first, which factory did it come from? And the one that was delayed because the distributor didn't get theirs in on time, which factory did thst come from? My theory is it's the factory that it was made in. I went 5/6 boxes weighable 100% 22.22-22.58 but my 6th box was 22.22-22.36 on all packs.

[@deeppocketmonster]

Great additions to the discussion, thank you Alex!

[@nowhere1956]

Watched DrApplesauce aswell. This hurts alot Pokémon, especially when you already have scalping local shops. Thank you gentlemen for all the great information.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Thank you Maddy!

[@GpMarvelRivals]

You know weighing packs has been possible since 1996 Japanese base set ?

[@albertusaswin2012]

@@GpMarvelRivals the tricky part is, the heavier pack nowadays is the dud one. Why? Because when Pokemon wanted to add more weight to the green code card to balance it with the white-green code card (good packs that contain good cards) they did a bit too much and the pack with green code cards became heavier. And probably Pokemon changed things up again since Fusion Strike has different code card. Still messed up, tho.

[@Lynn_central]

3:30 did you see those two packs get the same cards 4 times in a row

[@VincenzoCiardullo]

Awesome video! I love how you cut through the speculation and guessing and just structure a dang-darn experiment! This really fuels my passion for collecting in general, great stuff!

[@alecsnyder4130]

So could you technically weigh an entire booster box to find the lightest one?

[@barrettmason]

Yes you could

[@SentinelSeptim]

I just stumbled upon this video and this is a very fun game to play, and it somewhat replicates that same feeling of, 'did I pick the good pack' part of what we love about Pokemon Card collecting. You should totally do another video like this!

[@CaliLifeTCG]

They say the pull rates are as horrible as hitting the lottery! Better chance at the power ball fellas lol nah but I’m waiting on some packs in the mail and I’ll see for my self . Let’s go Pat

[@YuumiandUmbreon]

Same cards pulled: 2:08 Same cards pulled: 3:02 Same cards pulled: 3:41 Same cards pulled: 4:24 And choose pink since at end pink was the one with the lightest I think and the best cards

[@grahamb7947]

I noticed almost immediately when I opened my first FS pack... The white code card is almost as thin as paper, and bends just from touching it. The black cards however are much more premium.

[@thekrunpocalypse7054]

Wow this is super high quality. Really enjoyed the editing on this!

[@kourageoscole]

0:50 I picked the 2nd one in the front 1:37 9th from bottom 2:13 picked 7th from top

[@TheBerkAlaraShow]

Great information... We always wondered about weighing packs, so now we know. We would also caution on buying booster boxes too unless you get them from your LGS. Otherwise you run the risk of getting a resealed box with pristine packs and 0 hits.

[@alexkramerblogs]

This was a really informational video, on top of a great new way to go through a box! Did you sync up your card pulling by listening to music as you did it, or do some light timing adjustments in editing afterward?

[@deeppocketmonster]

Listening to a metronome on KZbin that was literally an hour long of just ticking lol.

[@TheRealBrianJames]

Multiple weighted codes cards placed randomly should fix this up 👍🏻 I bought evo skies loose packs and they were searched by a small cut on the bottom face of the pack that when a light was shined through you could see either a green or white code card. It was actually featured in one of my first videos.

[@AndrewYT-007]

Just watched your video, that is terrible that people are doing this now.

[@Younglink134]

Is this still true? I opened 5 packs yesterday 12/10/21 and it seemed random. My 22.23 was a white code card no hit 22.28 was black code card a hit but also my 22.44 was a hit and 22.53 was not a hit. These were from 3 pack blister and 2 were single hanging packs maybe there's a difference?

[@ichangedmyname0001]

EPIC! I PICKED THE PACK WITH THE FULL ART TRAINER All of my Picks were Hits I might be lucky, everytime I go out and choose individual packs I always get a hit ( and I don't weigh them ) But when I opened a pikachu and Zekrom and a Reshiram and Charizard Premium Set ( 20 total packs ) I got nothing besides 3 V'S LOL ) I guess a V is a hit but A VMAX is What I usually get

This does not apply to all packs and boxes, though! There are various printing facilities producing Pokemon cards and seems like one of the new ones uses somewhat lighter card stock. I opened up a box yesterday, tried wrighing some packs and it was impossible to determine hit packs.

[@avocadoes3469]

Imagine going into a store with a weigh machine just to check the weight of pokemon card packs

[@_RiseAgainst]

The solution seems to be have 6 or more different variable weight code cards put in at random. This will make weighting possible but very few packs could be guaranteed heavy or light. This would also prevent the annoying problem of knowing you got a hit based on color.

[@aliciawyntersend6969]

This was both a fun and informative video! Great work Pat!

1st pack I went for the middle right and "hit" but would have loved to get some of the basic adorabubble ones like Morepeko from the packs to the left of it. 2nd pack I chose the lower left most and still got a "hit" but the pack to the right corner of it had more adorable cards again 🤣 3rd pack I went with the position as my first pick (middle right) & had no "hits" nor any cute ones Was so fun to play along and see all the cards available! & definitely good info to spread around

[@derekwillcut4917]

This is actually a pretty unique video I like it man.

[@bruce0816]

That's why I've just decided to buy singles from now on. With pull rates going down since chilling reign and now the whole weighed packs ordeal it just makes sense to buy the cards I want instead of gambling. Might buy sealed products just as a display piece

[@Frostshaitan]

weighted packs only really affects people who buy loose packs from ebay or facebook, if you buy and open sealed stuff you should be fine

[@bruce0816]

But weighed products still doesn't affect the pull rates. It's just much cheaper to buy singles and get exactly what I want

[@MultiFruitshoot]

@@bruce0816 it does cause youll get less heavy packs from sellers and because of that, get less hits. Singles will always be better though because its cheaper. The one time i beat a single was with two VV and i pulled rainbow pikachu.

At first I got gengar vmax then second I got a grimmsnarl holo and then last I got and then last I got arcanine non holo

[@scandimon794]

but isn't the new code cards' black borders the tell tell sign for something good? or was it different in fusion? because it's like that in brilliant at least, but maybe i misunderstood it from fusion. im asking since you said that the black code cards usually was something bad, and the white code cards meant something good. because i know it used to be like a white and green or full green. idk, great video though man

I noticed at many of the stores, a handful of the packs are still there and all of them are heavy. Scalpers only went after the light packs. Make the black code cards slightly heavier, by maybe about 0.1 grams.

[@intergalacticdegengypsy6135]

How do U just happen to notice the packs in the store are all heavy?

[@lucideirune1635]

@@intergalacticdegengypsy6135 My sensitivity to touch allows me to figure out the slightest difference. When I was younger, I got a hit every time from the heavy packs. I tested this, and managed to pull a Mew half art from a pack. Hand weighing works. I felt the packs from the store, and they were all heavy. Sensitive touch does have its flaws though. Some textures drive me crazy. I’ve even thrown up when I cannot stand the feel of certain foods.

i noticed the commons/uncommons being in the same slot/every pack - out of 4 packs i opened today, all 4 of them had at least one or even two in some cases of commons/uncommons and they were also in the same slot... weird, dont know if its them being lazy or the organizing machine is seriously broken and they need to check it out.

[@akueret]

The same order of the cards is what I've noticed at first glance but I would have never guessed the new code cards made it even worse. I wish they would try to use the insert cards to their advantage and make the packs weigh the same weight. Or very similar weight. That would help battle the reselling of dud packs epidemic.

[@O.P.B.]

This is really cool format, more !

[@TheRTrizzy]

Ive seen multiple people mention that possibly TPCi accidentally swapped the code cards but that doesnt make sense. As we all know, a holo is heavier than a non holo. So if the code cards were switched then waying would be even more obvious. The weight range would go from 22.25-22.6 to 22.15-22.7

[@nokthar97]

my question is can you be more "precisely" So for exemple the MewV weight 22.26g While the revers melmetal weight 22.23g...... soooo would it be possible to "know" pack has what card?

[@deeppocketmonster]

I don’t think it’s precise, plus there were a lot of double/triples of the same weight as well. That’d be insane though.

Couldn't this be fixed simply by reversing the code cards. Put the heavier white codes in the packs with hits and vice versa?
