[@bacchic6676]

In the UK, games are legally obligated to publish odds on loot box mechanics. If it were true, they'd need to have a separate odds table for "bent edge" packs. There's absolutely no chance that anything like this is true.

[@Drakevid]

Good point, also it wouldn’t make sense.

[@bacchic6676]

Whilst it isn't true, I also think it's super cool how much care they've put in to the collection and presentation elements of the game. It feels much truer to the collecting side of the TCG and rightfully deserves some kudos.

@@Drakevid yep, spragles is absolutely right - they want you opening packs, not sitting there studying them for 10 minutes (unless to appreciate how nice they're modelled haha).

[@Joeybanananas]

It would only make sense if they somehow messed up their code in such a way that made bent packs also more likely to be rare. But tbh I highly doubt it, and idk how you would make that type of mistake. I do agree the attention to detail is cool tho!

[@animalchin5082]

Opening flipped or bent packs works the same way as pressing A or Down+B when trying to catch Pokémon. 50% of the time it works all the time.

[@daethe]

The whole carousel itself is an illusion of choice. The moment you selected the expansion from which you want to open a pack, the server generated the contents of the pack. If you don't believe me, as soon as you select the expansion to open a pack from, close the game. The game itself will give you a message about you receiving the cards despite it being closed at the pack selection.

[@Sardo2018]

Agreed, lots of gacha games do this, for the sake of ease. People find little ways to "help" their chances, because they like these little conspiracies.

[@LightzyyPKMN]

@@Knockoff_Zacian There is not a difference. Every pack has the same cards. There is no proof helping this claim.

[@tready2850]

There's really no proof supporting either theory. The packs could be all the same and the skip button skips the wheel. The packs could be all different and the skip button just chooses one randomly. Either is possible.

[@alfochewy]

@@Knockoff_Zacian Its all the same. Pick a pack, dont open it and close your game. Log back in and the game tells you you've claimed the cards in the pack when you close the game or when the game crashes. Its all pre-generated. The carousel packs are just illusion.

[@Luca_BoardGames]

if you go to the offer rates on a pack (where you see percentage) i'm pretty sure it's written that the first step is to choose a pack, then, only then, the random of the cards starts to kick. basically packs have nothing inside until you pick one, then they get filled with cards

Really? That's interesting. So they're basically all just the same pack

[@Sneasling]

As soon as I heard this theory, it reminded me of the rumour a Pokemon would be more likely to stay in a pokeball if you pressed/tapped a certain button when you tried to catch them. Also I opened a pack while watching this and I had four packs with bent edges, one of which was also backwards.

[@Lak0007]

It's just animations that are meant to hint at what you get. Other gacha games will have special animations play to hint that you are getting something rare but at the end of the day if you skip the pack or miss the animation you'll get the same cards. It only there for those that want a little extra build up before getting their cards.

[@Kylix_lol]

The stars popping out when you tear are called "rare" packs and they have a very small chance to spawn. You can find out more info about them at the bottom of the drop rate page in the game. They basically have slightly better drop rates for rare cards, but still not a guarantee you'll get anything good.

I've had this little ritual since i started playing the game where I always open the turned packs, or if there are none, i will spin the carousel 7 times and turn the one it lands on. I didn't even notice the bent packs

[@slowcarboost4everzzz]

When I saw this on X/Twitter I figured the bends was just an attention to detail. What would be cool is instead of a carousel, it would be picking one from a booster box.

[@GREATGEAR]

The thing is, there's a skip button on the "Carousel" selection, meaning, it already determined what the pack is going to contain the moment you press "Open Pack" prior to the Carousel screen.

[@Eryncerise]

Sort of. According to the in-game text, the cards are generated once the player locks in a pack to open. Choosing a pack from the carousel determines what type of pack it is (a regular pack or a rare/god pack). My guess for what happens when you hit the skip button on the carousel is that it selects a pack type at random and generates the cards accordingly, same as normal. Same thing for if you close out or crash the game at that screen.

It makes no sense for this to be real. There's a higher chance that there'd be something superstitiously true about Wonder Pick odds, because at least there you can reason that there was a mistake in the code and that it isn't truly random (though that's still very unlikely). During the first couple weeks of open access I swear that there was a bug where the wonder pick rare card would 95% of the time be in its original spot, but since then there's been a bunch of patches and I stopped noticing it.

[@Joeybanananas]

I've always gone for the packs that face backwards. Their probably isn't any indication they're more lucky, but it feels that way so I do it 😅

This is correct. A "high-pitched" sound when you tear a pack almost always indicated 1 EX pokemon card in that packet.

Based on how the appearance of the card packs, I think the devs tried to make it as realistic as possible, like you're able to turn it or you can find bent packs, etc. Especially the wonder thingy where if the player is JP then you'll see the cards appear as japanese which is a unique touch. It would be crazy amazing though if there were tiny details that would help out the rates, but if anyone has played fire emblem heroes then its luck luck luck all the way xD

[@technetium_et_al]

As other people have been saying, the cards are clearly generated before you choose a pack at all, and there's definitely no way to influence your odds. Alternatively though, there's a LOT of evidence being pushed around that these backwards or bent packs tend to have better pulls in them; I've even observed this with bent packs myself. It's very possible this is all just anecdotal evidence and confirmation bias, but I want to bring up one other possible alternative explanation: maybe the unique packs don't determine the rarity of the cards you get, but the cards you'll get generate different pack quirks (i.e. if you're going to get a rare card, they'll be more likely to spawn in a bent pack on the carousel). Obviously that's not how it works in the real world, so it's not something people are going to immediately think about; but through a digital medium, it's not only possible, but the only valid explanation I can come up with. That wouldn't change the odds AT ALL, but it would allow for theories and playground rumors to spring up, and more importantly, keep people's attention on the app. There's no way of me knowing for sure (maybe somebody could set up a big experiment to find out), but I think it's at least a possibility.

I'm pretty sure that a pack will make a hollow sound if there's a rare card in it, in my rerolling I found several 2-stars in the packs that make the sound.

[@RaqaCasual-gv7yu]

Thank you for a reasonable take on this - it is important! Giving a sense of control (especially via illusion of choice) to players is a well-known and documented strategy used in gambling. And selection bias of people advertising their "wins" only feeds into their strategy. I'm enjoying this game as well, but playing it requires responsibility and awareness that the goal is to create and prey on gamblers. Please continue to keep this in mind as you make these videos!

Is no one gonna talk about the pack and wonder hourglasses going to 1 for 3 and 6 for 18 shop tickets instead of 1 and 12? I feel annoyed for them doing this and i don't know why they would do this. Basically you have to collect all the shop tickets in the solo battle missions and after that? You basically have to pray that someone thanks you in wonder picks and PVP'S.

[@Axis33008]

Let’s be real for a moment, we all know that the only real choice we have in picking a pack is which of the three sets, the carousel just give illusion of choice when in reality, the contents of the pack you open were already locked in the moment you selected the set. This doesn’t change anything probability wise, and I personally find it fun to give the carousel a good spin before opening. How do I know this? Well that’s because of the wonder pick when you first start, the card you get is predetermine, no matter which of the five cards you tap.

i have a theory that the game tries give you cards you don't have to balance things out by guessing where you will pick. i think it tracks your most frequent choice of card on Wonder pick and when it wants to give you the card it places it on the most probable position for you to pick. so... I started always picking the very same spot, I've been doing it for weeks now and well, I don't know if it is just random luck hahah, but I've got something like a 80% pick success with Wonder pick... I think I'll start to log the numbers 😂 if this is real then choosing packs where a rare card is the only card you don't have is the ideal scenario.

How to put all these theories to rest in 1 sentence: It's illegal to do that. They cannot introduce a mechanic like this because the odds for EVERY pack WITHOUT exception are published. You can see the information in-game and everything where it breaks down the odds card by card. Now if this was some indie game dev who is less savvy with the law? Yeah sure, I could see it.

[@truciscurra5697]

You can actually tell whether a pack has a rare card :3 you just look at the packs thickness. Always open the thickest pack in the carousel and you’ll grab more rare card’s comparatively. Good luck.

Make your cat choose it, you'll be luckier. 😂

[@kanyaebruh]

the fact that you can skip the carousel at all is proof to me that its just a gimmick

Both flipped packs I've opened had standard EX cards in them. I'm sure it's just RNG but this is how theories like this get started

[@SsgSleepy]

True or not, it still makes openings packs more fun

I opened about 30 pikachu packs today, got two wigglytuff ex's, but not too much else outside of trainer cards. No Pikachu EX for me which is bizarre because I've pulled 2 mewtwo ex, 2 charizard ex, & 2 blastoise ex in about the same amount of packs over the last few days. Seems like they're cutting back the generosity of the drop rates now that game has started receiving nearly universal positive feedback. I'm going to hold off on paying money for pokegold for a while...

bro opened 2 packs and decided if it was legit or not. open like 50 bent and 50 not bent then mark what you get and decide then because for me ive been opening bents and its been so much better its insane.
