there is still plenty out there it just may not be the new sets that you actually want. Its gonna be SF, SC, OF and so on. people are mainly mad because the newest greatest thing is selling out so quick.
I'm An obsessed collector, just not rich man, I'm really hoping to get a journey together ETB & Booster box, it would be my first booster box, but it's not looking well with the availability :(
im not trusting a whatnot streamer on pull rates. Maybe itll be confirmed on release but from the few things ive been opened its been alright. Well see when more legit sources start opening
@@Ghostpup23 Ive opened 2 etbs of alot of other sets before "SS,151,paldea evolved" and havent gotten shit. it happens and there needs to be an actual credible source open a bunch. Now it may be the case for sure but we dont actually know yet.
Rev pulling 1 SIR from like 57 packs across 9 different products and it only being an Ogerpon is hilarious, and a sign of how brutal this set is gonna be to open.
That's mental considering Japanese set has guaranteed 1+ SIR in 10 packs, and every other pack in a box is a guaranteed hit of at least Pokemon EX. At current scalper prices: JP box is 80, and EN ETB is 160. Why would anyone ever buy an EN box is beyond me.
@@DivinePonies FOMO at its finest, very annoying but i guess it's good that they're somewhat leaving the JP boxes alone. I have a feeling a week or two after release date the JP will go up a lot, most people are going to bail out on Prismatic
Absolutely disgusting what the hobby has become. Just scalpers and streamers buying up the bulk of the product to make money. I feel badly for the kids and casual collectors, will probably never get to experience what I did when I was younger.
I was still hoping that the pull rates would be closer to Crown Zenith (looks like a no) but man, even with reprints throughout the year, if it is this brutal, this set will really go to the moon. I’ll probably open a bit for fun, buy some singles, and keep my products sealed. This will be gold in a few years. Best of luck to everyone!
@ I agree, they’re not dumb at all. But they also know that if they print this to oblivion, they risk devaluing it too much and pissing people off. Some people point out Shining Fates, but comparatively this set has so much more to offer. Others point out Crown Zenith, but that’s already going up. Buckle-up, people!
@@mech0p yes, definitely. I will be happy if they print this to oblivion. My only reservation is that even if they do, there’s so much hype right now that the market will just swallow it up. I’m afraid we may never see this set at MSRP. I hope I’m wrong. Cheers! 🙂
@@mech0p Yeah this will be like Japanese 151 where it can easily take a few reprints. The total set value is going to be so astronomically high that it won't matter.
My son out of 7 Japanese boxes was able to pull 3 Umbreons, A Sylveon, and a Masterball Espeon. I'm hoping this is just the start of his luck going into Prismatic because these pull rates scare EVERYONE I feel like. Cheers Ryan for always bring the entertainment! 2025 is going to be wild...
i was honestly excited and i was looking forward to go to every nearby walmart/target/gamestop near me to find product to open but after seeing how hard it is to pull stuff it's like.. why would i want to spend all this money to pull nothing? I thought this set was gonna be fun to open but it's not. if this is how hard it is to pull stuff i'd rather hold my PC etbs and sell them
this set looks brutal, the collector in me is going to be stepping out for a few months, and TCG player me is going to wait for the price drops to grab a few cards to bling my decks
That’s a good thing. Tired of people buying out everything and pulling the bulk of ultras, ir’s, and Sir’s in the first print of the set just so they can overprice and make money off of them or just hoard all of them.
Yeah it’s actually a joy to see this set absolutely flopping after all the ridiculous pricing for packs/etbs etc.. the pull rates makes my heart happy I’m laughing at everyone who dropped huge money on this set lol
@@CoolCrumb lol u do not understand the pokemon market and it shows. if pull rates are harder, that makes it even more expensive. harder pull rates = rarer cards = higher prices for those rare cards = higher prices for the pack. thats why ryan half jokingly says at the end 20:38 "maybe buy it now before..." if anything anyone who dropped huge money are laughing bcos their packs just got a lot more expensive.
@@harten66 exactly my point lol. its only sad for people who love it. theres too many scalpers I don't think people will buy into too much after its release
So this is the first time Im commenting in a long time but with me being in college I have been unable to keep up with vids. IM FINALLY BACK! But im catching up on a years worth of vids and im currently on a rainy day in New Jersey so I have 10 months of vids to go! Also congrats on 100k i apologize I could not say it earlier but i cant wait to catch up on the memories I’ve missed
Yikes, the pull rates seem really bad considering all the SIRs and Full Arts in the set. You would think that the pull rates would be much better right?
Pokeballs are like baby shinies in this set. It's not gonna feel as good but it is what it is. SIRs will likely be about the same as the last few sets of SV, 1/75. The real issue is that you can't get product for a decent price. The tough SIR pull rate hurts enough when you can get under msrp packs, nevermind full price or more.
Pulls an Atticus…”I don’t trust him.” That had me dead ☠️ Nice to see this opened. A bit sad to see that this set is more along the lines of Evolving Skies/Fusion Strike than Crown Zenith 😢
That was rough to see but most rough that the pull rate will be this bad. I don't think it will be as unavailable as resellers are making it seem. I think this go around retail stores have been prioritized so closer to release data Target, Gamestop, Bestbuy will have alot available so hold strong! Plus this set is releasing throughout 2025 from Jan, April/March and September so plenty of chances to get packs. Keep it up Ryan!
I've got a modest amount preordered and am looking forward to getting it in about a week, BUT, with the order cancellations and the rubbish pull rates, I'm on the verge of deciding to keep it sealed and skipping this set altogether...
I’m so glad a couple of you guys opened these early! It saved me some time and money. I was going to take off of work and get my girl to help me scrounge some of this set from different stores on release day. But now I don’t even care. It’s trash. With a few good cards.
Man I wish 151 got the masterball textures treatment. If anyone has a Time Machine, go back in time and tell the pokemon center how hyped people are for them.
Here in Australia I was regretting not preordering more. But now I'm happy I didn't, I'm content with just opening 1 binder collection for the binder, the poster collection and 1of each tech sticker blister for all the eeveelution promos. I'll probably just buy the Eevee ETB promo and a couple singles when prices stabilise more. Shit's too crazy right now lol, insane time for the hobby
Extremely rough pull rates and I’m honestly really surprised with how every single box of Japanese pretty much guaranteed an SIR. Maybe not the one you want but at least one. And the Espeon master ball was super sick!!!! I’d love that signed espy holo❤
Terrestrial festival has way higher pull rates with far less duplicates I'm working on my 3rd master set I'm just middle class but the Japanese sets are realistic to finish and the cards look significantly better more texture and color
Pokerev pulled 3 SIR’s and 1 gold card in 200 packs. Really not that bad of pull rates to be honest. But to pull the actual Pokemon you want in SIR like Umbreon, Espeon or really just any eeveelution is the tricky part lol. There are like 32 different SIR’s in the set. Gold cards seem extremely hard to pull though! The other issue with this set is not having regular IR’s because those are usually worth a decent bit if it’s a popular Pokemon and a little easier to pull than an SIR. It’s pretty much go really big or get absolutely nothing in this set lol. Good luck to everyone opening packs though! I’ll be holding my sealed product for some years and watch the prices go up and up! I might open like 1 etb just to see if I get lucky and to get that eevee promo but the rest will stay sealed.
i’m jealous of that espeon masterball i’ve been trying to find the japanese one for FOREVER it’s my fav of the base set card arts and i just I NEED IT like how do i have umbi and not espi 😭 edit: just finished the video and when i said i was master setting terastal people said why? prisma master set will be worth way more! like looooook at these pull rates i don’t regret anything.
I was able to get my hands on a base set mint Venusaur and Blastoise Holo today. Got so lucky on my trade. 5more cards away from completing Mint with no whitening and no scratches Base Set
Gonna go for all the eeveelutions in masterball for this set. Definitely not gonna open much until the reprint come and prices balance out. Love your content
People were saying pull rates are unknown today and yesterday. I’m like, dude there’s so many videos of how BAD the pull rates are. It’s the worse we’ve seen yet
I pre-ordered 2 ETBs feom gamestop for $54 each. Selling one for 3x and keeping the other until it's 6x. My buddy and I are getting ready for Team Rocket! 🚀 😺 💥

Check his recent video with 108 packs then 😂
NOT A SINGLE ONE LOL AND FOR NOW, NOT A SINGLE GOLD TOO HAHHAHAHAHHA this pull rate is a stab in the back@@chrisarmo
this set might be what kills Pokemon TCG. the corporate greed is out of control lol
Either the eevee sirs are gonna be super expensive or nobodies gonna pull them lol
@@chrisarmojust did 200 packs
Imagine the people paying $150 each for those etbs and pulling that… Ouch

These textures actually look so good on these holo & reverse cards this set

Gonna be ALot of casualties off of this set.

Like if you wanna see him flick his first "Moonbreon" pull from this set.
(Gets it graded afterwards)
He needs to sig devalue it
I want to see him pin it on the board!
Moonbreon looks stunning
The pull rates are so brutal that over 300 packs can be opened and not pull any single special illustration Espeon looks stunning tho

I love how you break things down into easy-to-digest steps. It really reinforces that success comes from continuous learning and gradual progress.
We get a prismatic evolutions opening and a live stream later, this is gonna be a great Friday!!! Thanks Ryan
Pulling that masterball is so clutch! Cant wait to watch the lives with prismatic evolutions :)
I say you beat Rev's opening with that Espeon masterball. We're all in trouble with those pull rates.

Dope espeon art. Even cooler to get the master ball. GL to anyone opening the set. I’ll be buying singles for SURE
I’m only opening two. That was brutal!! Wait for the binder collection and booster bundles!

Your insights are so valuable! You’ve shown that real growth comes from being persistent and constantly refining our approach.

This set is brutal. But that espeon master ball is huge!
This set really makes people go crazy!! Has there ever been a set that started of this crazy???
So from what I seen poke balls are pretty common, but it seems to be roughly be 1 masterball every 3 ETBs
I mean this set only does have SIRs and the pull rates to begin with is like 2-3 per case so yeah.
I think this is really a brutal set :D Not what you expect from a Holiday Set right?
I ain’t opening this set for Pokeball Reverses and the same FA trainer over and over 😅
The pokeball Flareon is a reprint of the 151 Flareon but terastral is a different art isn’t it? Wonder why they didn’t use the same for English
Love this set, can't wait to get my hands on it! Hopefully the pull rates are decent lol
Cool video Ryan! Surprised about the pull rates but enjoyed the opening :)
Pokeball's are in the 1st Reverse Holo slot, Masterball's are in the 2nd Reverse Holo slot as well as SIR's
Lmao you know Rev hooked him up with those ETBs 😂
Dude I dont think the son or I will even get to see this set in our hands 🤣🤣
Crazy how much it went up before release
Crymatic NO-IR-loutions, im over it!
Love that Espeon!! So beautiful 😍
you did way better on the ball holos than rev, but man there's NOTHING in these packs... what a disaster
Awesome masterball. I’m so hyped for this set
I’m so glad Pokémon did this and made the pull rates a little harder man the singles for this set are going to be expensive I love it

The temptation to open Pokémon packs is too strong even when you know you won’t get anything
With the high prices and low pull rates I'm happy just watching people open packs.
11:13 wow!!! Espeon master ball, That is an amazing pull 🎉
This seems like such a tough product to get any pulls from! 😮
This set is going to go wild on the secondary market
This set is going to be insane! Cheers Ryan!
I love the promo card. I just hope I can get a ETB.
So regular pokeball cards are in the first reverse slot and the masterball pokeballs are in the second reverse slot interesting.
There is a lot of pokemon product for MSRP, its just everyone is focused on one set. Then they are confused why there is no product available
I like that pull rates are hard . Make the hits that much better when pulled and more valuable
This set have me on a rollercoster of emotions..
The pulls rates!! Might not but as much as I thought I would, lol. Keep 'er lit! YNWA
Was so excited for this set but now with prices and pull rates I’m not even sure if I wanna open it
