This set is crazy for players, it's coming out right before worlds with a lot of viable cards that's shaking up the metagame in Japan rn

[@derekmartin5749]

Putting my money down now that the minute one of these cards rockets every influencer starts pining about how amazing these sir’s are

[@richardmontague3190]

The best cards are the kingdra and Grenija promos so I would buy the collection boxes but not opening many packs.

[@jay-easy311]

No doubt the thing to do with this set is buy the two collection boxes to get the promos and ignore the rest of the set. They should have made those two promos regular sir’s

[@turbo0589]

Yeah agreed. Even better just buy the promos as singles!

[@khaoskroc]

sorry but dusclops is a game changer for catcher decks like tord zard...

[@tckiefer]

This set was a mistake. They should have just combined it with the September set and made it a regular set. Both sets are going to be really small and underwhelming as a result.

[@Theu131]

Agree with this. Or really it should have been stuck with twilight masquerade . Would have made it similar size to paldea evolved. And all the characters from the DLC would be in one set together.

[@henryy8328]

Both sets are insane for the TCG though?

[@patrickbateman69420]

The *theme* is a cool idea, but the execution and the artwork is very lacklustre.

[@camerontayfour8897]

Personally, I think it's a fun small set for casual collectors. Sometimes, its overwhelming to complete these massive sets. The arts in this set are super cool, and the set follows a very cool theme. I like it.

[@GloaWetter]

This will be the Pokemon Go of the Scarlet & Violet era😂

[@tailsthegeinuis7993]

I love the Loyal Three and Pecharunt, plus Cassiopeia is a nice card! Can’t wait for this set I also love the illustration rares and how small it is! The cresscelia is so cool!

[@dcsoda1]

The SIRs are a bit lackluster but the IRs look great again. The set will be fine. The Greninja, Kingdra and Kinggambit cards look awesome

[@1001History]

I'll buy a couple of the greninja and kingdra boxes to keep sealed. They'll be a nice long term hold. I might open one of each with the best looking promos to grade.

[@Pikachu-ez1rm]

I like this Greninja more than the one in Twilight Masquerade. Also, I would've liked to see a Jasmine SIR

[@vincentvega7914]

What do you think is up with ceruledge not getting any cards, he was my favorite new pokemon

[@JH-cb2zf]

I would not buy any sealed stuff currently. Pull rates are disgusting. Sticking to singles...

[@AJisKing2408]

I was one of your winners of the 6 packs of twilight on your drip stream the other day. Just got my cards in the mail and i pulled the PERRIN!!!!!! YOU ARE GOOD LUCK SIR! thank you so much!

[@yungscarecrow9402]

I've purchased both the Japanese booster box and English kingdra ex set, actually when I look back at it now I think it was a mistake, I'll open the kingdra ex box just for the card itself but I think I'll just resell the japanese box. Looking forward to stellar crown etb tho as I want that rainbow lapras in my collection

[@DragonFangDan]

I'll be getting the promo boxes. Very thankful it's a small set so I can only pick up a little bit of it and go on to a set I'd rather hunt.

[@mayocorp14]

I haven't collected anything since 151 but I'm staying tuned to these Rocket / Eevee sets in the future.

[@luismendes4990]

Never heard of those, will there be a rocket theme set?

[@mayocorp14]

@@luismendes4990 rumored

[@SavageSenzu]

What’s up with all the sets having such unappealing names?

[@kaanaksu9201]

I'm asking the same question lol, they have gone more fancy fantasy rather than a cool and strong looking name like for example roaring skies

[@ChrisGalgano]

At first I was into this set because I liked the art cards, but now I’m really into this set because for the first time since I started collecting again a year ago I actually want to try making a deck and play the game. Also, lots of people stalking about Greninja and Kingdra, those aren’t even in the Japanese set and were made specifically as English promos.

[@joshmiya428]

They drop the ball by making the 2 best cards promos

[@MakoKong]

A win for collectors, an L for investors. Im glad they're promos. I hope they keep doing this.

[@CostcoFries]

@@MakoKongagreed

[@ChrisGalgano]

Those promos weren’t a part of the Japanese set. So, they didn’t take them from the set to make them promos, the cards were designed specifically to be promos and won’t currently exist in Japanese at all.

[@bbq1040]

They did that on purpose to get the collections to sell.

[@Asianwick4401]

I am optimistic about the new sparkle pattern. While I dont want it on every card, I am excited for it to be on a few.

[@noobXd3stroyer]

I only pre ordered a PCE ETB for my sealed collection, that’s as far as I’m going to go. There’s nothing I really want to chase in this set, which I’m fine with. Gives me more funds to put towards sets I do enjoy

[@user-xu8zf9xm2v]

i personally like the loyal three sars a lot. Im currently just picking up japanese boxes while prices are cheap

[@hammer3515]

That greninja promos sick. Would love to get the houndoom too

[@keithwelch8563]

I’m going crazy for the houndoom SIR and the ETB has the best color dice of any set

[@AlejandroGonzalez-ks5ln]

What is "SIR" mean? Sorry js getting into pokemon cards

[@CostcoFries]

You mean IR?

[@reflectejs]

@@AlejandroGonzalez-ks5lnspecial illustration rare or alternate arts

[@Gintamas_no1fan]

I ordered greninja one I’m just doing some research (my birthday is 3rd August so I’m treating myself)

[@Pooptheslayerr]

I’m happy that’s it’s a small set bc it should be easy to get done but I agree maybe those promos should of been the chase cards

[@keviaaar]

Honestly I love smaller sets. I never pull SIRs anyway and the IRs in this set are truly amazing. You don't have to open 30+ packs every set. Sometimes a set is just for opening a few packs to see what you get. I'll definitely be getting both the Kingdra and Greninja boxes 'cause at least I'll be getting an awesome card in each.

[@OTHERVERSETCG]

Wish they made a Gengar V SIR

[@CostcoFries]

Maybe in team rocket set 👀

[@dailypoke-packs6588]

I'm hyped for this set because of the Houndoom and Persian. The SIR's aren't that good though.

[@michaelbrown1724]

That greninja promo imo is infinitely better looking than the TM greninja. The Kingdra is insanely good looking.

[@Pikachu-ez1rm]

Right. I like the TM Greninja but I like this one more

[@JediMasterT]

I do like the houndoom IR but outside of that in the mainset not promos it's not great.

[@36090pburke]

The hondoom and persian are about it for me lol

[@HawkzTube]

the greninja ex promo should have been one of the chase cards in this set

[@craingtmh7819]

I’m new to Pokémon should i wait for stellar crown or should I invest into vintage stuff

[@dmandan9333]

Stay away from this one but would target paldea evolved or twilight as a base to start collection unless investing. Vintage is going down heavy so might be the time to pick these up.

[@leafinthewind3909]

I think because the leak about a possible team rocket set coming out they are putting out what they had already and slapped a new name on it.

[@knutelund]

people thought the same abt teilight masquerade, sure they had the greninja but idk this could turn around we might js not see it yet

[@cathysams7932]

Great video!!!😊😊

[@Houndshobby]

Small yes. Disappointing? I don’t think so. There is some good art here. Maybe no big chase yet. But there will be, the market will pick one or two!

[@DuhCL0WN]

Besides S&W not being printed,This prolly also explains why Sword and Shield is sky rocketing, bc a lot of recent sets are lackluster from Masquerade to now this,

[@danbeard8319]

TM is absolutely not lacklustre, infact its easily the most popular set since 151.

[@youcanthandlemyname7393]

as always ima wait till every card gets announced before i cancel my pc pre orders but i do agree with you that as of now the only desirable cards in the set are the promos and the ars. scarlet and violet has had a repeated issue of making better ars than sars and this set is a prime example of that.

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

Cancel your orders immediately this set is garbage. You can see the full set pretty much anywhere, just google it or you can also google the Japanese version of this set Night Wanderer which has been out for a while now. There are no good cards. I repeat, there are no good cards. The best it's got is Cassiopeia and that card is not going to carry the set.

[@Shiouro]

All penny cards are chases for me also I like pecharunt and the trio so it's a w for me

[@zekeybear5323]

As someone who collects/plays yugioh, the new SIRs are tame in comparison to the Starlight and 25th Quarter Century Rares. 😂 I'll probably just buy the Cassiopeia as it's my only chase card.

[@JWCustoms]

I’m going for Mastery set with SF especially since it’s less cards.

[@marijnnoorlander4613]

I love the promos!

[@Frosty2014]

Can someone please explain to me why this is a specialty set? I just don’t quite understand I get there are no booster boxes but I don’t think having the legendaries/mythical from the game should justify it. Thanks for the great content Jake God bless all!!!

[@TwicebakedJake]

It's a really small set as well

[@Frosty2014]

@@TwicebakedJake I definitely agree with that lol but even celebrations only had 50 cards give or take. There just doesn’t seem to be a theme which is what confuses me. Champions path is the closest thing I can compare this to but even that was charizard themed which is probably one of the most popular Pokémon. Thanks for the feedback Jake :)

[@psrzt]

Unpopular opinion but I’m super excited for the Cassiopeia SIR, I love the design

[@tinnin123]

Says that Illustration Rares can’t carry a set. But 3 of the Top 5 cards in Paldea Evolved value wise is IR and the top card over 100$ is an IR. So yea they def can. No to mention Groudon IR as well.

[@abrahamcarrillo2688]

Looks like it'll be a good set

[@ambassador724]

everybody will agree - the set will suffer for 3 or 4 years - then in 6 years it'll be the most sought after. watch...

[@JeanneFeisont]

The alt arts are all great looking in this set, but I hope most people have the same opinion as you so the set stays cheap for me to buy singles lmao.

[@sobbleco6248]

“If a set isn’t Gen 1 or Eevee focused, people won’t collect it.” But I can agree with these people for once that this set looks kinda mid, even though I enjoy Pecharunt and the Loyal Three.

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

Why do you enjoy that? To me it's so gimmicky and feels like it's been done before, reminds me of cosmog it's even got a stupid little ponytail like why all these dumb little "cute but evil" pokemon got a ponytail? And the colour scheme of the pokemon is awful, the green and purple dog yuck.

[@sobbleco6248]

@@OpinionatedChicken59 I personally like them from a cultural perspective, and they give off the same vibes as the anime’s Team Rocket. Playing an antagonistic role, but still goofy enough to be charming.

[@adamc4576]

Jake, i love you and have watched you for years. That new music with the singing is horrific, the old tbj music was so much better.

[@JeanneFeisont]

It sounds like it was AI generated, so he could do better 100% with a little time and effort.

[@Packermon-CharizardsChes-yo7uy]

We got 30 subs! On our way to 100 🎉🎉🎉

[@solar-flex1873]

Set gonna be Nice for collectors 💯🌟🌟🌟

[@GothicGene1]

foreplay for team rocket release hehe

[@nicklinn5731]

Even the packs look boring. That sets my expectations low.

[@TheFlameb0y]

It’s criminal that they made the Greninja and Kingdra promos. Whoever is making those decisions at Pokemon has rocks in their heads. Literally killed any chase for the consumer (and with it, any desire for more product being bought) by removing the 2 best cards

[@TelpPov]

A competition set no collectors want. The moment that eevee set was announced, this just went down the drain further

[@robertosanmiguel1289]

Lol the promo Greninja !?

[@lewishorsman2219]

No one complained about champions path. I wonder why? It wasn’t because there was a rainbow Charizard VMAX? 🤔

[@indigenoustruthx4828]

Ur crazy. Those cards look amazing. They need to do that more. The first two are good. Idk about rest

[@aquariumplantman]

The 2 bangers promos is all I’ll get from this set.

[@TheIfarted]

Id buy the etb because the box looks cool

[@jaimewinz]

Am i the only one that thinks they missed the mark by not putting a SIR Ceruledge in this set. Still waiting on a SIR Ceruledge or Armarogue. My favorite Pokemon from SV . 😅😂😊

[@nathandehnke6088]

Why is Greninja getting a card 2 sets in a row? When did it get so popular?

[@Kennefff]

Have you been living under a rock? Greninja, have been top 10 since its introduction.

[@floralilly5374]

It's definitely a set that exists solely to get the cards out on time to literally become legal Day 1 of Worlds with how cards like the Dusclops/Dusknoir elevates Charizard immensely or how Fezendipity is a reprint of Oricorio GX

[@MrMasterSet]

I'm also not super excited about this set. I'll likely get 1 ETB, and then save my Poke Dollars for some of the more exciting sets that have already been announced moving forwards.

[@solar-flex1873]

Holo pattern isn’t “NEW” the iono

[@018knight]

just gonna buy casseopia and get the 2 promos and im done 🤙🤙🤙

[@lKINGl]

Not to self. You should sign the BACK not the front

[@mcflurry6670]

I don’t think they “messed up” on this set or it is a “mistake”, this is a good collector item in the short and long term especially the Kingdra and Greninja boxes which I hope they print enough as those are the best cards in the set. Not every set should have a Charizard or other nostalgic Pokemon, the Pokemon art in here is good. I love this set for it’s potential affordability. You’d be mad at this if you’re an “investor” though in which case, womp womp.

[@Bonebounder93]

no im just gonna buy the promo box with sedraking and gyjusto and thats it

[@joelh90]

Is the greninja exclusive to english?

[@TwicebakedJake]

The Greninja is coming in a Shrouded Fable collection box

[@joelh90]

@@TwicebakedJake ok but what i mean is is there a Japanese version that they will get out of packs? Because english promos are such bad quality id rather purchase a super clean japanese version

[@maverickbonato8164]

As a japanese collector Night Wanderer it's probably one of the worst sets I've seen in a while then again who cares, there are still 12 beautiful ARs waiting to be put in my binder, even in a set as disappointing as this one I'm still looking forward to something and with all the absolute bangers waiting for us this year and in January I really can't complaint at all xV

[@B2loud]

That persion should have been 151

[@raymondschafferiii7146]

Nothing stands out in the set. Should have just included it with twilight. Passing on this.

[@Iamwillz]

For once we got some amazing cards that Japan doesnt get. Kingdra & Greninja all the way EZZZZ. The sparkle is what helps with the EDO vibes. See it as grain

[@nightsidegaming8951]

Yeah nah, this set is geared towards players, not collectors, my man. There's some real meta-shifting cards in here that are going to be huge - in contrast, the "collectible" cards are very much few and far between.

[@Rogue720]

Yea....I only want the promos.

[@louiepikmin3184]

I was saying this was gonna be the worst set since Champion's Path since the set was announced and people were clowning on me for it... Safe to say I was definitely right

[@Dteezyt05]

How is it safe to say? The set doesn't release for another 4 weeks

[@nightsidegaming8951]

I agree that the SIRs for this set but ALSO Twilight Masquerade have been dull. Perrin and Carmine do absolutely zero for me, we need to get back to amazing pokemon SIRs as I am so sick of medium-close-up trainer with a dull background, it's been done to exhaustion. I'm not even excited about the terestal pokemon sets coming out. Big hats and crystals. Nah.

[@stockinvesting3513]

This set looks like a massive flop. These etb will likely drop under 40$ if not all the way down to 30$. Unless they short print it.

[@nightflash262]

For collectors it's so so, because those legendary pokemon isn't that great not even in the game imo.

[@maxwellgonzalez8418]

Is going to be a pass for me

[@bbq1040]

People shat on twilight masquerade until greninja hit 200 and eevee is sitting at 40. Pokemon youtubers are so wishy washy it's getting annoying. As soon as a couple cards sell for a bunch everyone decides they like a set. Name one set over 6 years old you wouldn't love to open now? This set will be the same as every other set and be sought after over time, even if it doesn't hit right now.

[@Vektrox]

There are regular v's better than these sir

[@Bionicleforever]

It doesnt have gen 1 or charizard so not good. Disregard everything else. Only care about nostalgiabaiting for stocks.
