Opening Six Pokemon Build & Battle Kits + How to use them!! Evolving Skies & Chilling Reign

[@gyropunmaster]

That Rayquaza alt art pull tho. Man. Evolving Skies really is a stacked set.

[@taunicrisp9861]

I’d love to see you do a build and battle box where you then show us your process of building a 40 card deck from it. Maybe another person could do it with you both can battle with the 40 card decks so we can then see it in action? I’ve gone to two build and battles and it was a lot of fun! But the first one was overwhelming as I didn’t have a clue on how to start building a deck after I opened up my cards. Thankfully I had some kind person next to me to helped me out 🥰

[@ItsDanisTime]

I love the fact that you show how to use these build & battle boxes instead of just opening them like most PTCG KZbinrs. Keep up the good work sis! 🎉

[@likablejigglypuff]

As someone who wants to learn how to play IRL these types of videos help soooo much! Thank you Bou!

[@WhapDownEntertainment]

Don't forget WDE will be live tomorrow at *6 PM CST* right here on Bou's channel! Be there or be square!

[@BloodMoonFairy]

Oh! With Volcanion, in the video games hes a fire/water type. He's a volcano boy but he also makes steam or something? And same kind of thing with weavile, in the games he's dark/ice type, so in the TCG they just pick one or the other and they switch it up from set to set

[@justlaila9834]

im a super newbie to pokemon (like in general, sword and shield was my first game), i discovered you a few months ago and i just love the way you talk about pokemon and the tcg, its so interesting and now i even understand most of it, by now im so tempted to at least buy a few packs just for the fun of it, love your channel and your videos

[@heyyo_jojo]

YESSSSS YOU PULLED THE CONCEPT/GOAL CARD!!! I am SO HAPPY that you could get the one we referenced for the large sticker design on Patreon :) WOO!

[@dCva789]

Hey Bou, Watching your videos this year has brought and inspired a great appreciation of PTCG to my life. I've learned a lot about the utility of some of the cards you've pulled as you did your pack openings and it actually sparked my interest in playing. I now have a online and a physical deck, looking forward to playing at my local card store and eventually tournaments. All in all, just want to show you my appreciation and let you know that you are an amazing representative and pillar of the ptcg community. Love the vids, never change, do you Bou

[@MsLovemeifyoucan]

Nice pulls! Thank you for teaching us how to play these 😊

[@moreparmesan5261]

I'm primarily a magic player, but because I have good friends that play pokemon, and since it was significantly easier and cheaper to buy into compared to magic, I started playing a month ago. I sold .02% of my magic collection and went full force on building multiple standard decks. It's so much fun!! I wish I kept my collection from the late 90's 😕 😩

[@thewilsonexperience]

How do you feel about automatic keeps on basic pokemon hands (super RNG and lack of control), no sideboards, and the power level of cards? I also started playing few weeks ago because I wanted a new experience.

[@Commodore128]

I think my heart skipped a beat when you pulled that Rayquaza, wow! It's great to see stuff like that come from prerelease packs. And I agree, prereleases are super fun. I mostly play Magic, but it sounds like things are similar with Pokemon!

[@roguishowl3915]

Love the Matsumoto from Gaku no tsukai clip. Brings back memories 🫶🏻

[@MrTJansen]

One way to differentiate between pie and cobbler is through the crust. Pies are encased in pastry, either just on the bottom or on both top and bottom. Cobblers, on the other hand, are simply topped with some sort of baked pastry or dough.

[@Padverus]

I really appreciate the extra mile you go to explain this stuff. I was mainly into the video games and the show when I was younger. I’d buy packs here and there and make trades with friends but I’d just leave the cards in a crappy little binder and never went the extra mile to preserve and take care of them. I think I ended up selling the cards I had collected at one of my parents garage sales when I was around 12 or 13, only now at 18 years old am I getting back into collecting them again. I wanted to learn how to actually play the card game properly because after all these years I never learned how and I found your 3 part video really helpful. I’ve started watching a bunch of your other videos and the little tidbits of information you sprinkle throughout your videos have been really helpful in either jogging my memory of some of the things I vaguely remember or teaching me something that I had no idea was a thing to begin with. I just wanted to say thanks for making such great content, keep it up👍

[@brandonoliff6366]

Unshelled Squirtle legit scared me lol LOVE YOUR CONTENT!

[@nicholaspolen3418]

The centering on that is fire too damn.

[@gregjoseph4569]

I freaking love the double shrimp combos!🎉

[@michaelsherman3544]

Next pre-release you should make the deck to show how people can do that. As in, make the 40-card deck and show how to use the cards you pull to augment the sets that come in the box. Also, worth noting that you play with only 4 prizes. Would have been a long video, but it would have been awesome to see what 40-card decks you would make from each of these 6 prerelease packs! My first event was a Sword&Shield base set prerelease tournament and it was definitely the best way for newbies to get into it.

[@Misput]

Weavile is Dark/Ice & Ice types are basically water.. Volcanion is Fire/Water, Valcanion can use water type moves like Hydro Pump

[@GGN9NE]

Preordered that amazing playmat, thank you for the share!

[@scarr469]

So happy and excited for you to of pulled that Atl art vmax ray 🔥🔥👏👏 one of the most spiciest pulls you have pulled in a while. Congrats Bou 😊

[@dratiniboi7165]

Oh my goodness congrats on the ray!! And thank you for explaining what cards work with certain decks because it's very helpful to me as a person who's dabbled in the tcgo quite a bit!

[@thattrish]

I started collecting last week and I’m so keen to learn how to battle. I’ll be watching all of your videos now. Thanks 💯💯💯

[@TheTNTMuffin]

They make Weavile water type since it’s a dark/ice type. I hope we get a cool Weavile V card eventually, it’s my favorite Pokémon

[@filthyneutral5801]

Dark/ice type in the game

[@TheTNTMuffin]

@@filthyneutral5801 oops sorry yeah I meant ice

[@nycesports1995]

Rayquaza!!! I love the editing of your videos!! great job

[@turbo0589]

I think you are the luckiest poketuber out there, swear u pull heat everytime! CONGRATS that card is crazy nice!

[@azurebluegames]

Your luck is on fire with these B&B boxes!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@BloodMoonFairy]

I DEMAND a close up of noodle socks 😤😤 Absolutely ADORE your new playmat omg

[@okanut]

Yo Noodles is so big now! :O Edit: I appreciate so much that you're going through how to use these kits. Prereleases are so fun!

[@thehologang1791]

That PlayMat!!!! OMG 😍

[@kokopop5440]

Awesome video! Wasn’t expecting that ray 😅 🐉

[@MCSquidward]

Volcanion is a fire water type Pokémon like a lava blastoise that shoots scalding water/steam. That’s why it’s a water type!

[@Scribblescrabbly]

I’m a cheese puff! Hello notification gang ❤️👋

[@JohnDoe-df8bj]

That magikarp playmat is 🔥🔥🔥

[@nemesis1785]

The new mat! Yaaaaaaaaaas! Magikarpet ride 😍

[@GamerLikeDad]

I always love your edits on your videos!!! Very entertaining!!! Love the mat🤩🔥 Noodles is totes adorbs…I may be too old to say that🤣😂 Thanks for the build info Bou!!!

[@GamerLikeDad]

Ray Ray!!!!!!!!! Are you serious?!?!?! Let’s goooooo!!!🤩

[@SZ_Channel_SZ]

Weavile is also an ice type pokemon, so that's why sometimes it used in TCG as water pokemon P.S. Great video, thank you :)

[@Simbley]

"wow look at this awesome card lemme just shove it in my pocket" omfg im crying

[@swishyfish2003]

I want to see you teach maxmoefoe how to play finally. It’s always so funny seeing him say “I think this is good for playing but I don’t know”

[@edelplays]

2:15 let's jsut take a moment and admire how beautiful those nails are (and how much work and care you have to put on those babies lmao)

[@redemptionex]

omg that rayquaza… wow congrats bou!

[@MrPickles6552]

Congratulations on the Ray!!

[@ThePikachuThing]

love the Rayquaza V Max card, looks so cool! I'm getting my Mewtwo V-Union collection delivered today and currently super hyped for it!

[@ness_rinn]

I was so convinced that the Evolving Skies alternate art cards are an illusion and don't actually exist (because I opened tens and tens of packs and didn't see a single one) yet I keep seeing people pulling them effortlessly and I pain.

[@JanthePokemaster]

Me too ness, me too. 😂

[@AlejandroFortheKIll]

that's why Pokemon have all your money :D

[@Max_Power_007]

Ditto (Pun fucking intended)

[@FieryPoky]

Getting angry when I see a pull like this. I got shit ETB and boosterr box. Can't spend every dime i have on Pokemon TCG lol

[@jcheng28]

That's a nice Squirtle grenade you drew there :)

[@AvinaashKuppusamy]

AAAAAAAA THAT RAYQUAZA VMAX ART IS SO GOOD!

[@user-vm2rb3qt3m]

I see that wooloo deckbox! I really wanted the playmat version but they sold out instantly. Prerelease events sound like exactly the tcg experience I want, everyone slugging with random decks, but it's so impossible to find a store that holds these events. I hope the new online has something like a prerelease mode.

[@adipoke2112]

Whaaaatttt were those pulls?! 😱 Congrats! Man, I'm having a hard enough time building decks online - I can't imagine trying to build IRL!

[@thehologang1791]

That Squirtle Hat is 🔥🔥🔥🔥💧🧢

[@SirRanSax]

27:04 thanks to Tino!! LOL Sorry Bou! Hehe its just too funny. Definitely giving me 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' vibes, lol.

[@invaderjaytcg]

OMG love the new playmat!

[@pokemane8081]

Playmat is sick. Editing is awesome.. Video is informational and you are funny. This is actually the first video of yours I watched! I'll be back!

[@catchemalltcg5485]

Man that ray alt art is my chase card “I’m so happy for you” exactly how u said it in this video lol

[@KelaBeats]

Thanks friend

[@entinoo]

next playmat featuring your profile pic?

[@crazzywiz9304]

Omg that caught me by surprise

[@vind6708]

Omg noodles is so big now! Also the hat is dooope

[@playmakerp8589]

Nice hit by the way!! Always fun to pull a card like that!

[@totemxatu]

Loving the new mat!

[@HIIMCARTMANPLAYS]

That’s so cool my buddies and I are getting back into the tcg this video really helps

[@RP-Juan]

Living for the Squirtle cap

[@kazigma]

Nice seeing an alt art ray ray. Gg Bou

[@Ghytiees]

a volcano is one of the few places water forms spontaneously and naturally.

[@bryanmiller4473]

In the movie, Volcanion powers up with water in order to use its steamy attacks.

[@LuckyArrOwO]

lol, my boyfriend said Noodles evolved into Charizard. CONGRATS on super pull!!! Also, I am so excited to do a pre-release tournament. Hoping they start doing them at the lgs I moved near to :D

[@LuckyArrOwO]

Also, to answer the question about pie vs cobbler - pie has a bottom, but in cobbler, the dough is cooked with the fruit filling - my mom would use canned biscuits and just put them on top her fruit fillings to make cobber. :3 But really, both are good. :D lol

[@pokeballermike]

Awesome Vid Bou!! Glad you got the Ray Ray Vmax even tho the goal card was the V and not the Vmax! 😅😅.. Im that way with the Umbreon LOL.. Vmax is amazing but I actually prefer the V over the Vmax.. Catch ya in the next vid or maybe another raid?? 😏😏.. Much love as always!! 🙏🙏🔥🔥❤

[@TheDTrain88]

I have to agree with Taco. I dont really care for the alt vmax rayquaza compared to the alt V.

[@nevercold808]

Fire alt art pull! I actually pulled your goal card in the beginning of this month but there was a tiny white speck in the middle of the back bottom edge... I never went from so thrilled to so deflated so quickly.

[@blkwinds8872]

Great video as always Bou!

[@timboslice787]

Ohhhhhh myyyyyy Gooodddnesss. You so lucky grats on the rayquaza Vmax.

[@Hwy49RC]

Yo we need to get pixar in here to hire bou for the SFX department xD

[@jfproductions24]

So it is possible to pull a Legendary card on video!! AMAZING!

[@KatEmAll]

I actually play Gordie in my Shadow Rider deck lol also congrats on the Rayquaza!

[@JoeyEnexty]

Im actually super happy about this video! I've been teaching my Gf and her siblings ptcg through theme decks & Build & Battle decks so they get the deck building experience and the full synergy of a deck through theme decks

[@hannahvasseur5679]

Derium would love that playmat

[@unclebully1476]

So yesterday I pulled an alt art Leafeon out of only 2 packs & today I pulled the Rayquaza vmax alt art out of only 7 packs. Got a couple more nice hits too. My luck is crazy with evolving skies right now

[@unclezander9803]

About 16:22 a lot of types that are in the game are just kind of thrown in to other types to fit them in the game, like the big type in video game would be grass in card game form, ice is water, fighting is rock and ground, etc

[@MrStuartJA]

BOU WITH THE LUCK

[@TheJokingMan333]

THAT PLAYMAT!

[@Kamishuriken]

Wow, what a pull 🤩 somehow I was under the impression you'd be building a deck from the cards you pulled 🙈

[@lococrowco1968]

Heyyy, sorry I’m so late to the party but where can I get this playmat from?

[@cjk996]

Damn that’s my all time goal card now. Rayquaza is my favorite

[@w00dm31st3r]

DUDE!!! Freaking Rayquaza 👀😱

[@nicholasbullock9276]

Weavile is a "water" type because Weavile shares a type with ice. "water" in the TCG doubles as ice type, "fighting" triples as fighting, rock, and ground. Dark doubles now as dark and poison. "Psychic" (now) triples as poison, fairy, ghost and psychic. "Normal" type doubles as both normal and the flying type as well. Grass doubles as grass and bug So, for example, that is why a "normal" type card isn't always weak to fighting; it can be weak to lightning because it doubles as the flying type. The same concept is applied to the rest of these. Another example, not all "Psychic" type cards are weak to psychic. Because it triples as ghost, psychic, and fairy, a "psychic" type Florges can be weak to metal because the fairy type is weak to metal. Hope this helps! :)

[@geodude2406]

lol for past handful of videos Bou starts off saying her luck is bad then proceeds to pull bangers

[@vind6708]

wooooow those pulls!!

[@danhornik598]

The centering on these cards looks pretty good! Did they improve QC?

[@glowing_gutz]

What is the name of the song played in the outro ?

[@puppypills.]

it’s Skyward by Harris Heller :)

[@MariaGarcia-sq3lv]
