Is Scarlet & Violet Base Better Than Paldea Evolved?

[@beamworks2039]

They are really killing it with the scarlet and violet sets,especially the full arts look amazing

[@danielvonruden6402]

They are truly impressing shoutout to the illustration ppl

[@josecalderon2505]

Who knew collecting pokemon cards was going to be so addicting 😩

[@Sir_Entix]

bro fr im so addicted to them but my mom wont let me buy anymore 💀 (im 16)

​@@Sir_Entix man i started working just to fund my pokemon gambling addiction (17)

[@LilBoatFeet]

i’m almost 26 and i’m still gambling with pokemon🤣

[@philiphughes8496]

I'm 34. Have been collecting since I was a kid. It's all about budgeting. I suggest you set aside money and choose carefully which cards you want. You can't collect them all unless you have a lot of resources.

[@Kazelegend]

Ah yes me who pulled SIR miraidon in my first scarlet and violet base

[@bugzpokemonz89]

I know some people who just don’t like s&v but so far I really like it. I like the alt art trainers a lot and the hit rates in boosters were nice for me so far.

[@sniller6973]

The pull rates in this era are great so far! The artworks also keep getting more insane every set. Very excited to see what Obsidian Flames will bring us.

[@shwethajagannath5978]

That is similar to what I was going to say. When Obsidian Flames releases on August 11, you should do another comparison to the other sets of Scarlet and Violet!

[@insertusernamehere1]

I hope obsidian flames keeps up the streak

[@justsomerandomguy449]

Glad I'm getting the obsidian flames booster box when it comes up hopefully get good pulls! Apparently there as a gold charizard and I'm collecting charizard so it's perfect for my collection 🎉

[@DangDang610]

This is the comparison I was waiting for! It’s cool to see them side by side

[@annmarie6675]

It is odd how low the illustration rares are in boxes, to me. I'd rather have more of those than ex cards. Great comparison!

[@Probasaur]

No they're virtually the same pull rates except paldea evolved is a much bigger set. Appreciate you clearing this up ! Super hyped for Paldea Evolved

[@TiniTiller]

i dont know how but i have opened over 20 packs in pal evolved and i have pulled 4 things (gold card, ex, illustration rare, and another illustration rare)

[@foreverfoxgamer1966]

@_..POKEREV0._ omg poke rev the scammer I’m your biggest fan

Paldea da best cuz art works!

[@oakey6486]

It’s already out

[@LIVEW1RE-h8b]

Omg same I can’t believe you actually replied can I hit u up?

[@AtomicWedgies]

I like the new sets it makes it easier to complete them but at the same time it also drives the prices down on the harder to get cards since they are technically a lot easier to get compared to pre-scarlet and violet

[@Caleonn]

W's all around

[@PaleRiderTCG]

@@Caleonn I don't really know. If cards lower down their price in the singles market that can be a good thing both for players AND collectors, but the pricetag of the product is the same and the pullrates don't seem to have changed much from latest SWSH sets (Lost Origin, Astral Radiance, Brilliant Stars, Crown Zenith...) from what I have experienced. So, either we get way more hits per box or they lower the prices accordingly. Just my humble take as a collector.

[@wilcob643]

@@Caleonn If the prices of the booster boxes stay the same then its not a good thing.

[@chickenman759]

Not a bad thing, especially for people like me who want to build decks without paying a fortune

[@PaleRiderTCG]

@@wilcob643 That was my point, if the price of booster boxes and spare packs stays the same and the pull rates don't increase a lot, then it may become a substantial problem.

[@jessicalestrange9961]

I've only opened three Paldea Evolved booster packs so far but with the base set, I managed to get a secret art rare and the Miriam full art alternate secret rare in about seven packs somehow. In general though there are so many awesome illustrations in both sets. They've definitely done a great job so far!

[@geetanshgohlan]

No one was expecting that Scarlet and Violet base set and Paldea Evolved would have the same Pulls in terms of number as well as card types

[@fatmanjonestv7143]

The pull rates are great lately! Way better than early swsh! It’s a good thing for collectors that you get set pulls in each box instead of opening a swsh/sm box and getting nothing. Cards aren’t as hard to pull now and that’s better for collectors

[@kitsadventures1321]

I love the artwork for the scarlet and violet series 10/10

[@claywise1372]

I love the artwork that S&V has brung to the table so far.. can’t wait to see these next few sets!!

[@Robin-hw2el]

I'm very happy with the direction that Scarlet and Violet is going

[@RobQuaza_19]

Honestly I feel like their pull rates are similar, too. Small sample size here, but would love to see another one with pull rates of multiple like products from both sets (tins, blisters, promo boxes, etbs, etc) 15:57

[@rjfernandez8085]

SV era pull rates are insane, its a good set to go for master sets. Congrats on your pulls

[@Cdinkha]

The pull rates are pretty good but the sets themselves are huge lmao. Master sets might be tricky to complete.

[@Shirley98757]

These latest artworks have been really good, I’d say. Excited for more!

[@jeanhendrickson7410]

This was awesom

[@SoupiiDoupii]

Couldn't complain whatsoever! The artworks have been amazing and I am all for it haha. Thanks again for another great video Pokerev!

[@deggers]

Can't complain, they are killing it with the art rares

[@JosePerez-zk5wu]

I've been almost out of the game during SwSh and there are only two sets of this era on tcg and I feel like a good chunk of ScVi haters are/were scalpers who've seen the hits now are way higher and there aren't many Cha(ri)se(ard) cards as of now. Some just like one Pokémon and some like grabbing money in a way they used to but that now they can't TPCI is operating differently. Don't worry, two sets with Charizards are coming and I feel like a couple more are coming the next year in whatever new second mechanic they come up with.

[@shank92]

They went so hard with these full arts. I’m definitely impressed

[@SenatorAri]

So you have to buy more packs to pull them 😆

[@shank92]

@@SenatorAri ain’t that the truth. And I’m not happy about that fact 😂😂

[@domthebomb177]

[@GOBLUE4LIFE2023NationalChamps]

Cool side by side! I agree with Obsidian Flames probably going to be the best of the 3!

[@jacobstedman23]

I agree with you on the randomness. I do like that better, but I guess it is kind of nice knowing you won't get completely burned by a box.

[@BDP863]

I have to totally agree with you about what’s in booster boxes. I would like to see just randomness.

[@davidl8880]

Not one of my faves but gotta love the alt art for Fletchinder.

[@jonschaferits_wolfyttv9520]

Answer: No, they are essentially the same in terms of pull rate and in terms of card rarity and chase value. Saved you 16mins of your time. Paldea is inflated right now because it is new, but will settle in the coming month or so (Iono will probably be only slightly more than Miriam when it settles as I pulled 2 in 8 boxes the same way I pulled 2 Miriams in 8 boxes of S&V base).

[@SteelCity14]

I love seeing these battles. I don't even think newer sets could battle older sets because older stuff was way harder to get pulls.

[@lindaelliott9233]

I haven’t open a lot of paldea evolved but I like both I stared to build a scarlet and violet binder and it was harder then I thought ! I like the scarlet and violet park art with the starters on the front is soo cool ! But I think paldea evolved could have done better on there pack art but the card arts are so cool in both sets and also they should be all black border’s on the code cards because every pack a-least have’s a holo and I loved that poke rev KZbin’s channel is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CaseyMc727]

So far we have had better luck with the base set. Opened a booster box and ETB from Paldea so far and haven’t had as many hits. Love the art in both though.

[@DavionKnight3285]

Completely agree that Obsidian flame will be 🔥🔥🔥

[@theeverythinggeek6572]

My first pack I got a Meowscarda and I think the scarlet and violet has the best pull and like the new intro

[@DTownsBack]

[@cobblestonekingpokemon5471]

I don’t know it’s back and forth in the set pulls for me. Nice to know we will get a SAR but also I do enjoy the randomness

[@brianr5563]

Arts are so good! Still not totally sold on silver borders, it will take some getting used to for sure.

[@rechord335]

as long as they keep producing absolute bangers with illustration rares, I'm not in a position to complain

[@shaungreenlee2376]

I'm wondering? Are the English Booster box cases the same as the Japanese sets where if they find a Gold card or any Secrete Rare top card that then you know you won't get any in the rest of the case, because it seems every Booster Box I buy never has any real good hits in them. Is it possible that some sellers are finding the good booster box and selling off the remaining boxes from that case/ Let me know what you think.

[@psycho7404]

Yeah, I dunno. If they changed it to having a set number of pulls in a box, it just kinda takes the fun out a bit. Definitely prefer the random. Still good sets though

[@HollyRoselake]

I just love the artworks on the new illustration rares in Paladea Evolved

I have a scarlet violet and let's say that it went good. I got 200 "s and 300"s.

[@demonkitsuna7992]

good luck. personally I think base set is probably going to win because i've heard bad things about paldea evolved. you might get a card or 2 but compared to other sets i've seen the pull rates are just not there. the best videos i've seen of it were the boxes sent to openers when it was in pre release but I think those boxes were padded. I hope you have better luck

[@danielvis6890]

It's great that there's a certain amount of pulls in the boxes, makes it easier to pull certain cards

[@Kobstar01]

I just opened up my first box today and I got a few hits like the Quaquaval ex gold card 🔥

[@theminecraftminer6494]

Can certainly appreciate how they manage to continually come up with such stunning artworks for the illustration rares.

[@pokegreenmamma]

Haven't tried much scarlet and violet base, it's mainly been Paldea Evolved & sword and shield sets but I definitely wanna try to get more of both! I really like those illustration rares!

[@jaken7241]

Everyone saying that the new set isn’t worth is just isn’t appreciating the art of the new gen 😍 Love the content Rev!

[@iamTREPP]

Agreed!! The gambler in me loves the randomness. If we know exactly what to expect “last pack magic” will disappear completely

[@PokeTrainerChase]

So far I’m really enjoying this new era!

[@NixoMars]

In my opinion Paldea Evolved has nicer cards although I haven't opened it yet and I have the Miriam from S&V base set 😄

[@yoitsJ03]

I didn't really love either set. Paldea seems a little more interesting with the illustration rares.

[@jacobrebonegarcia]

Super happy you came out with this video! I've been wondering this question!

[@Zerbexian]

I think the S&V era is just gonna get better and better, and so far it's pretty good for how early it is

[@RachylouGames]

I've seen some really mixed boxes. But I've seen severak Paldea boxes with more than one alt art in which is awesome :D

[@stonerboi7801]

So far I’m definitely enjoying the old sets more these days but only opened a few packs of paladea so far

[@JBAlex81]

Personally I feel like most booster boxes have been seeded with between 11 to 13 hits. I kind of hope the new set moving forward is seeded with the guaranteed hits like Japanese booster boxes. The only thing that would be cooler is the release of American special sets like V Star Universe and V Max Climax. The possibility of US God Packs is very enticing.

[@leoadams359]

That doesn’t happen every time because I got a booster box of paldea evolved and got no gold card but I did get the iono

[@jtipping93]

The illustration rares are just amazing!!!!

[@MelyssaGustafson]

This is so cool how much pokemon he has. I hope I get the booster box maybe I am lucky. PokeRev I am a big fan of you.

[@Jonfly0821]

I got like 4 or five pulls in an ETB and 10 individual packs so far... 😞

[@zekebarrett7854]

this is amazing. I haven't had any luck with paldea evolved all been Holos. s&v base set though is good. always at least one when I get just a few packs

Enjoying both sets, completed the base set and fairly close on Paldea!

[@carlnicklin7378]

Hmm between the 2 I actually prefer sv1 rather than 2 but verrry excited for sv3!

[@unholyterminus8823]

I love the SV era so far and Paldea Evolved is such a lovely set!

[@DaneDillon]

The exact moment you said "dare I say give me an Iono" you pulled an Iono, it just wasn't the one you wanted. lol

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

Man I’m jealous of that first box- my own box only had a gold electric energy, and no SIR. The gold Koraidon is my current main chase card!

[@edubbled]

[@zaccaryoneil1238]

I'm brand new and I'm leaning towards Paldea Evolved, solely because I'm trying to complete the fuecoco line lol

[@FireFlySamson]

I haven't collected Pokemon cards before but overwhelmed by the amount out. if you were looking to collect for high potential profits in the future which sets would you go for ?

[@bene9387]

Honestly, I don’t really care about the sv sets so far. I really don’t like the crystal cards and I think it’s kinda overrated. Love the fact that ex cards are back, though

[@lukewebber5531]

I wish they pull back a little bit on the pulls so cards would stay higher prices my self I think

I yesterday opened 2 scarlet & violet card packs and I got a ultra rare illustration trainer,, Penny", it's worth 13$

[@anickduchesne8391]

Havent watched it yet but this really peacked my interest. Since i cant spend money in every set that comes out this will help!

I'm super surprised that it came out to be a tie! Totally thought Scarlet and Violet base set would win

[@christopherasbury1936]

I was looking at buying paldea evolved after getting a set of the base set so this was great to see before doing so

[@jeremywebster6850]

I have found with both that you get pulls regularly, but it's frustrating when you pull the same card multiple times, when there are so many full arts to collect. You end up having massive piles of the commons and uncommons as you try to get the chase cards. What to do with all of the bulk?

[@brookewead5299]

Awesome. I Haven’t had any pulls yet with a paldea so good to see some today!

[@kylefrinak7474]

If I had to choose I’d take SV1 over SV2. Just like the Pokémon selected in the ex cards and better.

[@JM.inkpxl]

Trying to decide if I want to grab ETBs or Booster Boxes!! Tough decision cause I'm liking some of the Promos.

[@ezduzit8353]

I like the randomness. I think at card party during pack battles two kids pulled the iono card from the same booster box 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rod4650]

Wow. I think Pokemon is doing like you said, they are trying to do the same as in Japan. Consistency and quality. Hope they succeed. Thanks PokeRev 😊

[@Reverse48821]

Im personally like paldea evolved because the special illustration rare skeledirge cus skeledirge is one of my favorite pokemon and i pulled it today.

[@SaiyanShoto]

I just opened a Paldea Evolved booster box today and I also got the same number and same exact type of cards too. Don’t know if I like it much, I like that there’s a guarantee but I also would like it to be more random. Though I did see one person open a booster box and get no gold card, definitely interesting 🤔

[@GR333NN]

The new Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet are so cool, I just dont like that they made the edges gray
