Surging Sparks 500 Booster Pack Ratios REVEALED!!

[@10kColdNights]

I opened one booster box: 6 base/tera ex, 2 ace spec, 3 full art, 3 IR, 1 SIR (Latias), 1 Golden Pikachu. Pretty much couldn't have asked for more.

[@Em_Rey]

😂😂😂

[@snowman3456]

That's actually insanely good

[@GrimmRipper88]

U should upload that on your channel. I opened two bb's. First was cheeks. 3 standard IR, 2 crap full arts, with 13 total hits. 2nd box had 3 mid IR, but Gold Exeggutor, full art pika, and SIR Durant. So definitely way better than the first. Yours was even better than mine

[@10kColdNights]

@@GrimmRipper88 Unfortunately I didnt record this opening since I opened that booster box at the LGS I bought a case from. I still have the other 5 which I should have videos for. I tried to upload a picture here but I think it doesn't allow imgur links. I will just post the picture on my channel for now.

[@10kColdNights]

@@GrimmRipper88 Just put the image of the haul on the community page of my channel.

[@HelloStarCitizens]

I subbed b/c of how you showed and went over the cards. I don't watch 4 hour long videos of people cracking packs then not showing the hits in an unorganized manner.

[@Nekomimix]

I’m never opening another booster box again, just etbs or some special collection/box. Singles ftw

[@carlosm4771]

Saving all the bb for the years to come?

[@sovereignblastoise6767]

Yeah it's always extremely disappointing when I open a booster box the only time I have pulled anything from one is brilliant stars Charizard v alt art

[@kerby7758]

Yea i prefer little risk and I am avoiding Booster boxes. I pulled SCR Squirtle AR last time from blister :)

[@jakewright4156]

Yeah I opened 3 Lost Origin BBs, and I got one kyurem rainbow. That was the best thing besides 3 TGs per box. Hangers are bangers

[@comoplaysdestiny5106]

This is for the best. SS will go up considerably in the next year I’m sure, if not in the next few months

[@WYLDEWill666]

Thanks so much for pulling this together! I have been on the fence about collecting this Master Set and this video made it so much easier! thank you!

[@JokerGames-ef4gw]

And what is the conclusion? You going for it?

[@WYLDEWill666]

@@JokerGames-ef4gw 100%, i'm all-in for this set! Will add it to my Paldea Evolved, Obsidian Flame, 151, Paldean Fates and Shrouded Fables sets from SV era!

@@WYLDEWill666 Good luck to you :D If I learned anything from the 151, then it is go hard from the start. Good chance this set will be costly down the road (as you probably know :D )

[@richardwade1544]

I opened 3 boxes and the 3rd box was a banger. Pikachu IR, SIR, and the gold IR 🎉

[@TropicalMint808]

awesome video, appreciate the content! man the pull rates are rough, again! prismatic better be like CZ or there wont be enough stock for anyone to complete the set 😂

[@ariarnaldo551]

My pulls are: 1 etb: 9 packs 1 a spec 1 rainbow exeggutor 2 SIRs clements witt and latias ex

[@peterstainburn2871]

Why do you separate the Tera ex’s from base ex’s. They are exactly same rarity and are printed in identical numbers.

[@comptrekkie]

I have opened two cases so far and 0 gold cards! 7 SIR. Have two more Cases coming today will see how it goes. These Gold cards are eluding me. so far, my numbers are 7 SIR, 35 IR, 20 ACE, 28 UR, 73 DR.

[@mrpanda7083]

So one case had 4 SIR inside? That’s pretty amazing.

[@comptrekkie]

@ yes, that was my best case, I guess by having no gold I got more SIR. To date I have opened 6 cases. Number mostly stayed the same. Did get one awesome case that had 3 SIR and two Gold cards in it! Only need 3 gold cards and the SIR Pikachu. The one I want the most.

[@mrpanda7083]

@@comptrekkie did you find that most cases u opened had one box inside that had both a gold and an SIR? And most 3 SIR in each case?

[@comptrekkie]

@@mrpanda7083 It varied quite a bit. out of 6 cases only 2 had gold cards, one case had 1 gold card, one case had two gold cards. Never got a box that had SIR and Gold in it. My best case had 3 boxes with 1 SIR each and 2 boxes with a gold card. I kept detailed notes of all my pulls. Averaged 13.8 pulls per box 11-15 per.

[@Mexximiser1992]

Great Work! Thanks for the important info! subscribed.

[@ps1master-class150]

Ace Specs are cool because they are playable..

[@fizzyadrenaline2138]

Love this video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for putting this together so neatly. Appreciate the effort. Earned a sub from me :) One suggestion - you should total up the trainer FA + Pokémon FA + the rainbow FA to give the total FA count expected in a booster box. That’s the only thing missing

[@matt-jk1si]

Coming to you as an average person... ive spent around $300 for about 50 packs... this video is fairly accurate id belive - personally ive ripped 1 booster box , 1 booster bundle and 1 of each of the blisters ( 1pk and 3pks). I got about 15 "hits" from the box. 1 Sir clemonts, 1 trainer, 6 ex, 2 ace specs, 2 illustration, 3 full art. Each of the blister packs had 1 hit - either 1 full art or IR. Booster bundle got the sir Exeggutor and 1 full art... Of course odds will vary. From what ive seen though- boxes offer about 13-16 hits. Booster bundles are hit and kiss but youll at least get 1. The 3pk blisters are actually quite good, consistently giving at least 1 hit... ( Again .. odds vary and your experience may differ ) But its a good idea of what to expect....

[@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic]

I bought two ETB s today,i opened one and got one ceruledge EX ( the cheap one 😂) and one F surfer... I open the 2nd or keep it sealed...???

[@OnyxWolverine]

Is this worth buying and saving like Evolving Skies?

[@ShaVen-Openings]

Cool video and interesting analysis, thanks man 😊

[@pcpclan5803]

I Love the sticky notes!!

[@TrophyHunterTyler]

I have 6 packs pre-ordered but they sold out so I dunno if I'll get em. I really wish I could get a booster box.

[@scooley1515]

I've opened 3 booster boxes so far and these numbers are spot on.

[@royalred611]

I agree on the ace spec!! Why aren’t they together?!?! Also why is psychic pokemon right after lighting pokemon!??

[@karanpatz]

I have 1 BB but not sure if i should open i also have ETB in Case.. i only want the Golden Pikachu ❤

[@NoMatterRichWay]

I pulled the Drayton SIR from my only Build & Bundle box. I was going to keep it sealed, but my dog was sniffing it. So I opened it😂🍀

[@BrilliantPokeZenith]

I did a box, got the full art durant and Latias but no full art trainers at all. And got the SIR exeguttor

[@robertf4157]

I had an insane booster box I opened last night. 2 Acespec, 3 EXs, 3 Tera Exs, 1 full art, 1 Tera art, 1 Trainer, 3 Ars, 1 SIR, and a Gold card. Best box I have ever opened.

[@golffmann801]

I like that Black Desert hat didn’t know you were a golfer! Went there 2 weeks ago that place is amazing! Let’s go play Valley View??

[@JAW114]

I’ve started to open a booster box per set for the fun and experience and then buy the singles I wanted and didn’t hit. Best of both worlds. I don’t do it to invest, but I do purchase singles with long term value in mind.

[@aceshot72]

only one latios is NUTS

[@EonDelia]

OP just got unlucky, I know other guy who got like 6 latios and 2 latias 🙃 It's not that rare ig

[@TrophyHunterTyler]

Can someone explain what a tera card is?

[@dtimmymoua]

imma just open hanger packs and hope the heart of the cards are with me

[@kylehenschel]

Opened up 25 packs (10 sleeved boosters, 1 bundle, 1 etb) and was surprised to pull TWO SIR cards. Archaludon + Exeggutor

[@samersalama6275]

I opened my first booster box of this and I only got two IRS. I did get a full art Pikachu and I did get a SIR. However, I was very annoyed with the fact that I only got two IR’s and my SIR was the stupid ant which had a lot of damage up top.

[@Nickyguapo]

That’s crazy I pulled a sir executor off one Etb 🤑

[@stavencapp]

16:32 I just started collecting and i started collecting shrouded fable, With just 2 ETB's, and 2 6 pack boosters I got to 94 percent completion. I'm missing 29 cards. And that is with all the reverse holos.

[@kidfazer]

I’ve opened 5 bb’s. They were all meh except for the last one where I pulled gold pika and the Lisia SIR.

[@kidfazer]

I did get the Durant SIR and Drayton SIR

[@anonymousamerican4580]

Brother, it’s time for a rebrand! 🎉

[@Sun33daze]

Pull rates following Twilight and Paradox. Looks rough but not too crazy. I think Prismatic will be ES or FS levels of tough pull rates.

[@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic]

What is FS???

[@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic]

Aa lol fusion strike??

[@Sun33daze]

@@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic yes forgot to clarify

[@b3rave]

Base EX`s and Terra EX`s are the same rarity, dunno why split them... aswell with the full art Trainer, base EXs and the full art stellar EXs... Why people say its a "new rarity tier" cause they have a rainbow border? Why not split the SIRs with and without rainbow order aswell?

[@EonDelia]

This is not how it works...

[@N7mudkip]

Yes it is, but it becomes a more accurate number the higher amount of booster packs you open. The average person can’t afford 540 packs (cheapest is about 3.50/pack, or $1,900$) so this is a decent number for a normal person.

[@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax]

Dear lord those pull rates…. 💀 🤯. We are approaching critical mass here folks.

[@lucaslooze9328]

Ive opened 6 booster boxes and got no ultras nor sir

[@SoulFlowCollects]

I opened two booster bundles last night .. I got 2 EX out of 12 packs and that’s it 💀💀

[@IneptCardCollector]

Thanks man

[@Whoareyoucalling]

Nah, 500 packs is way too small. 5,000 or ideally 10,000 packs is your typical baseline. Also full arts are no longer a separate category, IR took their place and full arts are par of the secret rare category since their number is outside the standard set count.

[@PearlHarold]

Those SIR hit rates are kinda crazy😂

[@TropicalMint808]

yeah man depressing 😂😂😂

[@Cksgetchapull]

Yooo 540 packs, my first pack was the Latias ex sir booster bundle 😂 4/6 pulls: that luck is actually insane

[@Chris-vz2kv]

Holy shit anyone know if he hit breakeven at least. Pull rates are so low.

[@TropicalMint808]

we are all going to be fully rekt lol, booster box prices and singles are going to fly

There a way I couild get some packs. Iam broke asmess. I would love to open some packs. Haven’t in two years.

[@mattvanguard]

been getting 12 hits per bb (4 boxes so far), if I hit 14, I would be happy.... =(

[@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777]

Pull rates seem easier than TWM.

[@1XSTEALTHTWINTURBOX1]

damn your booster boxes were binned pretty bad. We saw 3 SAR per 6 booster boxes. Gold Cards didn't seem to matter, we saw a few gold cards.

[@nonyia17]

This really showed me to just bite the bullet and open 3-4 booster bundles and then just keep booster boxes sealed. No reasonable way to justify opening up a full BB

[@kyleswartz2846]

I opened 144 packs. No golds. 1 SIR. 10 IR’s 😢

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

I hope they don't do away with acespecs, they are cool item cards and I don't see them doing away with full art cards.

[@stavencapp]

11:04 i think you are being a bit misleading when you say Guaranteed. Nothing is really guaranteed with pulls. For the rainbow rares you came up with a rate of 1 in every 1.5 booster boxes. Thats the average you got from opening 500 packs. If i go buy 2 booster boxes, im not GUARANTEED to get at least 1. I could buy 5 booster boxes and not get 1, I could buy 1 booster box and get 2.

[@tylernelson487]

aspecs aren’t really in the cool section more of the ex section

[@JoannaParkerTS]

Have you been on a sunbed? Lol

[@TheMagista88]

I am selling my booster box. Such garbage rates for a mid set.

[@thathappystudio]

Certainly doesn't look like this is for kids anymore. Don't get me wrong... I collect, but I'm also aware enough to know that this was originally aimed at the younger audience. Now it seems its definitely aimed at those who can afford it... This looks like one of the harder sets to complete.. not looking good for the future of actual collectors who still need to feed their families... Content creators dont even blink at the cost. *Sigh*

[@Beserker11777]

pffft thank for letting me know to never buy booster boxes

[@herisyairatcg]

[@SoulFlowCollects]

This set is a waste of money, I got two basic EX for $60 🗑️🗑️🗑️

[@cichrift9065]

Wow so I just got back into collecting and found that there is no chance for your average collectors to get anything rare due to packs being sold out, I'm looking into different card games to collect for that reason. It's crazy how we as collectors support the people who scalp the market by watching them open tons of packs then sell back to the market at a mark up or make a rip off mystery pack.

[@matt-jk1si]

I definitely agree to a point... it is very hard to go for complete full sets as an average collector these days... with all the video makers and streamers and large groups buying it all up for themselves and/or to re sell. And then your local shops only have a limited supply and EVERYONE wants to buy it... However... all it takes is one lucky pack to get that " rare chase"... But I would personally recommend to research the set and only participate if it's one you actually want to complete and collect... and then put every effort to pre order a bunch and blow $500-$1000 to get what you actually want.... Don't just buy into a set cause of one expensive "Greninja" or something and waste tons of money and not be happy with what you end up with.

[@cichrift9065]

@matt-jk1si I make small preorders around 300 but from now on all of my collector boxes will remain sealed and I will purchase raw cards to get Graded. I see its not really about the complete base sets it's more about the chase cards that are worth more than the entire base set together so that is what I will be focusing on since I have an amazing card shop on route 66 that gives me crazy deals on singles in bulk so buying full arts is easier and cheaper than It would be for the pack.
