Here’s my experience Max if you care: My brother opened his violet etb and got 1 regular Great Tusk ex and a alt art Sandile… I opened the scarlet etb and got the alt art & full art Great Tusk ex, Oinklogne ex, Spidops ex, and an alt art Pidough In conclusion, these etb’s are either a hit or miss

[@traxbun]

i got great tusk ex, gold koraidon, full art tera arcanine, full art magnezone, and art rare pawmot from my violet etb

describing houndour as 'dog, hold the butter' had me in stitches. you got absolutely shafted, still funny af. I'm just glad you're back!

[@DrNotnert]

Using a Morpheus AI voice for a shitpost intro is exactly what I would expect from Max and one of the reasons why he's the best card channel on this godforsaken site

[@bruhmphrey]

MAX AWARE OF CARDS PLAYABILITY?! This second (realistically 14th) coming of MaxmoefoePokemon has been a treat!!!

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

He makes comments about cards being worth more because they're playable all the time

[@popculturedata]

You really nailed the Matrix intro

[@clairelilli]

[@Bee_Tea_Sea]

I like how they destroyed the price of holos by stuffing packs with them lol

[@joshuastreet8664]

now instead of being 0.30¢, they’re gonna be 0.20¢

[@Bee_Tea_Sea]

Exactly

[@mrflibble1259]

I don't care, at least when you pay 5 fucking quid a pack there's no chance of getting absolute shit non holos. That was such a ridiculous scam that I can't believe we let Pokémon get away with for so long.

[@msthecommentator2863]

That was kind of the point since inflated prices of playable/collectible cards were soaring through the roof. This is Pokemon's attempt to flood the market and make those who actually collect and play a chance to buy cards again

Just opened a Scarlet/Violet box tonight and got the Miriam SAR. It’s my birthday so I guess the card gods blessed me today. Glad to see the uploads going strong :)

[@NeroKaligula]

That Miraidon promo has to be my favorite pokemon card ever printed just... fantastic

[@cellofellow5115]

??? I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but I feel like there's definitely a lot cooler cards. I thought the alt art sandile was cooler, personally.

[@maximumbeans9310]

@@cellofellow5115Oh I can explain, sometimes people like different things. They’re not being sarcastic, don’t worry, they just formed an opinion independent of you. Nothing to fear.

[@marvelousball]

Surprising its your favorite since Miraidon is one of the worst pokemon designs ever made😮

[@chibichestnut]

Dude my hubby and I absolutely adore your content. So grateful to have you back!

[@wissert]

I wish I could understand what witchcraft led to Max immediately picking up the 'ride-on' part of Koraidon but not Miraidon.

[@madisonking8057]

Well idk for certain because english, but miraidon is probably/ should be pronounced mee-ra-ee-don because mirai/未来/みらい is the Japanese word for future.

[@wissert]

@@madisonking8057 'Ride' in Katakana would still be ライド, which are the kana used in Miraidon's name :) Hence the play on words. Max had been pronouncing 'rai' as 'rei' up until he said Koraidon in the intro, which didn't stump him at all the way Miraidon had.

[@madisonking8057]

@@wissert well ライ is different than ラｲ , 2 syllables vs 1, but yeah I get what you are saying.

[@343Anbu]

So rad seeing you back, got me extra hyped for the new set 💙 On the topic of ETBs, I’ve had good luck so far, two full art trainers (including the coveted WOMAN) in the first half of the violet one I’ve got. Jury is out on the other half, I’m pacing myself lol.

[@ArgentRex]

The Miraidon ETB i bought yielded a regular and art rare Koraidon ex, regular full art professor turo and an art rare slowpoke, crazy to see how the pull ratios are varying in them.

[@GarboGomi]

I think the back of the code cards DO still reveal what you'll get, its just more subtle. now you'll get a white border if its good and black if its trash.

[@GarboGomi]

i dont know how this would apply to guaranteed holo packs but i got a few non guaranteed holo individual packs for the 1st time in a few years and through 4 packs ive scientifically deduced that the borders are still givaways

[@me_avip]

Have not touched the ETBs but can confirm that full booster box pulls are nutty. 3 illustration rares, 2 full art trainers, (including Miriam) full art secret Koraidon and gold Miraidon. This not counting the EXs pulled for the standard set. That said, quality control has definitely not improved for this set. My bombirdier has such a perfect of grid of print lines over it I thought it was part of the design for a sec 😭

[@katerinastembergova3165]

These boxes were hella unlucky-opened the Koraidon box today and got 3 ex cards, one rare illustration card and a full art Koraidon, so this was just super unfortunate

I think the randomness with this set is actually a lot less seeded now, at least when it comes to art rares and gold star rares. I got both Miriam arts from my etbs and a bunch of art rares, but my boosterbox was extremely mid, only 2 art rares and no gold star rares.

[@RonathanXP]

[@Gauravsingh-tq1tm]

So far I have opened 12 packs (2 of the 6 pack booster boxes) and got : golden rare candy, Iron treads ex, full art Starly, full art Great tusk ex, Full art Koraidon ex, and secret rare trainer Arven. The pull rate seems great.

No door frame in the intro but still 10/10

[@teacup438]

I Bought both of the scarlet and Violet ETBs, and I actually pulled pretty well, here's the list if you would like to know what I pulled; Violet ETB- Ralts illustration, Mew V, Volcanion V, Luxray V and Electrode V scarlet ETB- Great tusk EX, trainer card illustration Arven and Gardevoir EX

My heart aches for you on this one king Answering your Q: me and my bf opened one ETB each, and mine did have 1 FA Mommy (Professor's Research), alt art Jacq, some random EX I think, and my personal fav, Kingambit art card. Mine was from Gamestop. His though was absolutely bonkers. Alt art Arven, alt art Miraidon, FA Spidops EX, FA Arcanine EX, and a handful of other EX. Ordered that one from the Pokemon Center online. ETBs are an absolute mixed bag. When Generations first came out, I bought what the shop owner described as the worst ETB he'd ever seen, and that was a set with ultra rares seeded out the ass lmao. YOU'LL GET EM NEXT TIME BROTHER

[@iroquoispliskin155]

I opened 3 blisters w/ 3 packs each this last weekend and basically packed *NOTHING* aside from a fullart Professor's Research. Hope everyone's luck is better than mine...
