      I remember the Wawa in my town had a basket with like 100 evolving skies booster packs for sale. I’d buy a few everytime I went til they sold out. Still haven’t pulled an alt art and prob never will at this point lol

      literally, not just price. The hits were much better in the initial runs (a V or Vmax like every third pack), it's like they took the alt arts out of the reprints. Just horrid.

      Evolving Skies, other than the 4 or 5 chase cards is a pretty mediocre set with historically bad pull rates. It's beyond bizarre to me that people like it so much. The Rayquazas and Dragonite are excellent, but that Moonbreon is a pretty boring artwork. It wasn't even popular when Evolving Skies came out until a small handful of people started a buyout and created a frenzy.

    At the end of the day I suppose buying singles cards for game play is better as for collecting I don’t know… my sets are just collecting dust in a heavy well pack box in my house! Lol as for my play cards I just look at the once-while am remember the good old days playing am been a Judge! Good times! Buying a boxe is a very risky! Sometimes it pays off others well!

    It is believed that Evolving skies is guaranteed the hardest set to pull with lowest hit rate!!! My stratedy is to to buy some promo box, tin box, those with one or two packs of evolving skies inside mixed with other sets. so you will get it cheaper, because not every seller knows they have it in box, and you can at least get some rare cards from other set packs in box.

      Can you explain further to someone who just got back into collecting after 15 years?? I don't think I understand your strategy

    I really loveee this set and think it’s amazing to see if you can still get the value out of the box

    Recently got back into collecting, sad I missed evolving skies. The artwork is too good 😍

    Your amazing and random question what website are you using to check for the prices of the cards

    I was very surprised when the prices went up but I understand why. I never opened a booster box and I would love to open evolving skies but when I saw the prices I did not buy it. For me it is just too expensive. Love the new scarlet and violet as it is a very interesting base set ❤
