I explain this in the video: but I know the logic doesn’t make total sense…. But if you want me to compile 100x daily free packs or save hourglasses on account that hasn’t spent money vs Gold packs in a different video, Let me know. Just trying to be more creative with ideas since the game is getting very repetitive ❤
This video should have been titled Giving my friend 100 packs. If he has opened 100 packs already then it could work if you showed everything he got and how many dupes he got and compared them your title isn’t clickbait
The game can't get repetitive, because card opening isn't the whole game. Wanting a rare or art card every pack isn't a reasonable expectation for anyone. The point is to build decks. How creative you are in making deck combos with the cards available to you should stay pretty interesting. Unless you don't like battling/ deck building. In which case, why play? Other than very casually, which is fine too. Logging in twice per day to open a free pack as a collector is more than satisfying and fun, BECAUSE you aren't ripping 10 at a time.
@ I can see where you’re coming from. But I do play the game a lot (I have 220 wins) but people show more interest in the openings since its more exciting. I’m just speaking to overall gameplay meta/ and how the events are very repetitive rn. So I am trying to figure out how to be different then every other deck building / card opening channel. And sometimes the ideas aren’t that great but that’s how it goes. Hope you have a good weekend g.
@@PokeLukeTV Nah, that's too much effort to prove something improbable. The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., Game Freak and DeNA Co. aren't all going to risk a lawsuit and bad publicity for a quick buck. They're all well known for their honorable practices to their consumers in Japan (not their competitors though. They're pretty brutal when it comes to taking their competitors to court, even before the whole PalWorld debacle.) If I'm not mistaken, the law in the US allows games of chance to rig their odds to a certain extent, UNLESS they actively provide the % rates. Since the game has the rates, they're now legally obliged to not rig the drop chances. If you want good ideas, I'd suggest instead of doing pack openings, you could do something like viewer Binder Reviews. Makes the content more engaging with the audience, and everyone can get the chance to flex. I feel like it'll give a massive boost to your viewership. Just run a discord where people can post their friend IDs, have a bot choose a few at random every month/week (depending on how frequent you want it to be.) and then make a video reviewing them. People love review vids. Especially if it's reviewing their stuff.
What he’s attempting to show is: His main account - has spent lots of money - people claim this gives him good cards. His friend’s account - has spent zero money - people claim this creates lesser odds for good cards If you spend the same amount of money on both, will he gets equal results, random results, or will the account with more money spent on it actually give him more rare cards.
@@notadaytrader It's a totally flawed logic, nonetheless. The Hypothesis is not what you repeated. People Claim free packs have different odds than paid packs. The 200 packs he opened are all paid for. He is researching something nobody ever claimed or asked. Yeah it's content i get it. 100 Packs on free acc takes time and thus means higher production cost but if you want to create quality content and don't be the one baiting people, then you'll need to invest more. That's what @LukeRestifo needs to understand, imho. This is bait and not good content. Viewers will feel betrayed after clicking the Video reading the title it has.
I can answer the title question already; no. Paying money for more packs just means more chances to pull rare/needed cards because pull percentages. The more packs you open the wider a net you throw to get what you need. You open less packs you have a smaller net to get what you need. This video also failed the moment you paid money on the f2p account 😂
Same, I might not have two copies of each immersive or EX but I just need 4 more cards to complete genetic apex. No $$ needed Today I just completed Mythical isles, Gyarados EX was the last card I needed.
I agree with the low reward on everything They are so stingy with their rewards and I just don’t understand it They treat it like it’s coming out of their pocket when it’s literally just digital cards. It doesn’t cost them a penny
because people pay higher prices in other gachas, or $200+ USD on skins in other games, "free" games are predatory by nature its the entire model bussiness on them, very few free games are truly f2p
breh its bc you spent money.... you have to do it on ftp account with free packs vs ptw paid packs.... like it should be rename paid packs vs paid packs.. comon now
I'm just worried the company will just go "We've made a few billion, but can't quite cover all the building walls in money. Okay shut it down." Then we just lose everything without a way to keep or remember.
Personal experience has been that some of my best pulls have happened right after I throw money at the game and use gold bars, but having spent more money than free-to-play players in no way gets me better pulls later on from free packs. And this cannot be explained simply by me opening more packs overall, because I've opened way more free packs than I have paid ones. Completely anectodal evidence and surely random luck, but that's been my experience.
I'm p2p, and my luck is actually worse than your friend's f2p. I've been dropping about $100 every two to three days since I started and I'm nowhere near finishing any of the art packs' art sets. My most noteworthy cards out of all 5,000+ cards are: 86x 1 star Cards 22x 2 star Cards 11x 3 star Cards (one of them is the interactive Secret Mission Mew and 4 interactive Charizards, 3 of which I pulled in 1 10x pack opening when I was looking for base Charizard to finish base set xD) 1 Crown Rare Mewtwo EX I don't think it's $$$ luck. I think it's just straight up luck luck. Now on the other hand, the PvE starting hands for the NPC are defo rigged. Had 100 matches against different AI and I logged all the info in. Of the 100 starting hands for the NPC, they had: 2 of their card draw cards (Pokeball/Prof) 58 games in their starting hand. 3 of those cards in 32 games as their starting hand. and only 8 games where they had only 1 card draw (in one of those, they drew a pokeball from their oak is what I'm assuming since they used it after oak) So only 2 games did the AI not have a card draw card in their starting hand. Now for a little lesson in maths and probabilities. In a 20 card deck, there are 38,760 card combinations for the first 5 cards + 1 draw phase card. You have a 1/20 chance of getting any 1 card in your starting hand, multiply that by 6 tries and you've got a 30% chance of getting any 1 specific card in your starting hand. For 2 cards though, the formula gets more complex. It's now (18!)/((4!)x(14!) = 3060. AKA, there 3,060 combinations where you can get those specific 2 cards. 3,060/38,760 = 7.89% For 3 cards, it's now (17!)/((3!)x(14!) = 680. 680/38,760 = 1.76% TL;DR: You have a 30% chance of drawing any 1 card in your 5(starting)+1(draw) starting hand in a 20 card deck. That % drops even more to 7.89% for you to draw 2 specific cards. 3 cards is an abysmal 1.76 %. How is the AI getting it as 8% for 1, 58% for 2 and 32% for 3? I'm assuming it's them giving the AI a handicap, trying to make it more challenging for the player instead of just improving the AI model...
@@nerdofworlds So you're arguing AGAINST the point that P2p get better odds? Doesn't sound like you're disagreeing with me. You're just saying it's rigged against me instead of me having shitty luck. Hence, P2P is worse, which I don't think Nintendo would be dumb enough to do. No one would spend if someone found that out in the files. Besides, BECAUSE they offer the % rates of each card, they are forced to stick by those odds by law. If they didn't GIVE you the odds, then they can rig it within reason (and that's allowed with the law as well)
I don't know if I believe they boost your luck when you spend money. However I spent two weeks opening free packs and didn't have enough good cards to build a good deck. Then I spent ten dollars on gold and got everything needed to build the Mewtwo Gardevoir deck. Which seems to be the best or one of the best decks in the game. So maybe.
Basically, even if I pay for the subscription, that's only 3 packs a day (90 in a month), 4 hourglasses from daily bonus (10 packs a month), 1 pack from premium mission hourglasses, and whatever you might get from events (so far maybe like 5-10 packs a month?). To open 110 packs (a month of solid grinding), you can spend 660 gold which is like a hundred bucks. Yes, the person who opens those rares every 7th or 8th pack seems like he has more luck, until you realize that's just 2-3 days of grinding normally.
I haven't spent a penny on my account and have almost finished genetic apex and finished mythical island (without all star cards though) so like you still get a lot without paying money
My luckiest f2p set was just a few days ago, when the shop got reset. I bought all the pack hourglasses and went on a full opening spam and got a 3* Charizard ex, a 3* pikachu ex, and a 3* celebi ex in 6 packs
Just a question I can’t seem to fin online, how do you see all of the star cards you don’t have (like the blank spots with numbers) in the Pokédex? I have them for the regular cards and have seen you with them for your star and crown cards as well. love your stuff! Keep up the grind 😎
1,200 pack stamina would crazy what are these comments. That would take 300 days to collect just from daily bonuses. (Don’t remember what the account starts at + level up bonuses)
I'm a f2p guy and I got three immersive Pikachu EX cards in one day, two of them in back to back packs Funnily enough I have both Mewtwo EX and Charizard EX 's full art and immersive art cards but I don't have the normal EX version of those cards and I can play almost every meta deck of the game I've got almost every single EX pokémon at least twice except for Marowak, Arcanine, and Gengar, and Wigglytuff which is the only EX card I haven't got any copies of
I just started this game Friday actually which was my birthday. I have two accounts as well, a free to play and ofc my “Whale” account. I have not dumped a lot of money into this game, so far I have maybe used $200 because birthday money. And I have got a good result spending and for farming. There was cards I have full art and even immersion on my FtP then my main. However the least on my main I have the cards to build my decks so I’m happy
When a set comes out, i whale it for base rare playset/pvp purposes. Then i swap over to gp wp’ing for 2star playsets/collection purposes (and to flex in pvp). I have 76 2-3star cards total. The crown rares won’t be whaled for, or pack point’d for (at most, immersive rare if i didnt pull 2 copies). If i get crown’s from RNG, cool, otherwise i dont care too much for them.
I like this approach. Two weeks, $200 (literally 100 a week) and I have almost all the cards (minus the art stuff and gold crowns). Of course everyone's budget is different, but when an expansion comes out dropping some cash ain't bad.
Been watching the videos the last few days and been loving the content but I need like 6 cards to fully complete Mythical Island and mostly being the bigger hits like gold crown mew and rainbow mew etc and like 32 for Genetic Apex🔥🔥 and I’ve gotten 2 god packs as well!
How do people not understand that the more money you pay. The more cards you'll get. It's all rng of what cards you get. Of course someone who spends $100s of dollars are going get more cards. It just depends on rng of the cards randomly selected in the packs
I strongly doubt that there's any bias here, given that would be... well... illegal. They show you the odds. Lying about those odds would be false advertisement.
I think it will work better for comparison if the F2P account used only hourglass. Me, as an F2P player got a lot of EX's but 5, FIVE of them, are Piggeot EX
I would LOVE to think money helped... but I've gotten 2 god packs and they both came from free pulls. Statistically, money helps because you just open more packs, but I've spent money and got nothing
I’m fr2 with 560 cards been playing for a week and I got 3 immersive cards and a god pack already so I wouldn’t assume money matters I have spent $1, just luck and I wish everyone equal luck!!
Hi Luke! My name is Krissy and I’m new to your channel! I just subscribed this morning! It’s now 7:02am EST!I love your content so far and I’m a big fan of Pokémon! My favorite Pokémon is Pikachu! I live in Ontario Canada! I’d love to see more of your videos!
So far this game is FTP friendly if you play every day. Expect to be a month behind all the whales when a new set comes out. Then, it's not very fun for FTP in PVP matches, other than to learn what the shifting meta is. It is hard to recommend this game to someone who doesnt play every day, as my mom has been playing almost every day and still cant make the good decks. Hopefully, I will be able to help her get some good decks together when trading is implemented.
I'm also FTP and I pulled the crown gold Mew EX card before I pulled a Servine. I had TWO Celebi EX cards before I had the Servine! That card was so hard for me to get! In fact, it was my second to last of the diamond cards before I had them all. I tried to wonder pick it so many times, and FINALLY it worked for me. I still haven't pulled the card from a pack. I hate Servine. 😅😫
They shouldn't give anything extra to players that pay a shit load of money.... the people that spend thousands should stop spending that money so that games are going to ask for normal prices ..
I'ma F2P player and completed the Mythical Island expansion pack already (1-4 diamonds rarity). But for the rarer ones, I still don't have 1. Dedenne 2. Vaporeon 3. Both Celebi ex rarer cards 4. Three of Mew ex rarer cards 5. Leaf 6. Blue 7. Gyarados rarer card 8. Both Aerodactyl ex rarer cards What notable cards I have 1. 2 copies of both Pidgeot ex cards 2. 2 copies Mew ex 4-diamonds 3. 3 copies of Gyarados ex 4-diamonds 4. A single copy of 4-diamonds for both Celebi ex and Aerodactyl Ex 5. A single copy of B. Expeditioner rare
I feel like some people are missing the word increases in the title. It’s to see if someone who spent a lot of money vs someone who just started would have better luck. Like to test if Pokémon rewards you for spending money
Well, you have far more luck than what I have. I didn't get a single EX card in my last 12+ mythical island pulls. I'm missing gyarados ex, aerodactyl ex, pidgeot ex and even tauros. Also struggling to complete apex 151 challenge
Examine the chances of getting on both accounts? (which I think are legally required to be true) > Nah Open 100 packages on each (and spend a lot of money) to prove whether or not luck is boosted on paid accounts? > Ho Yeah!
Bro, I have three accounts, and in one of them, I have a Crown rare Gold Mewtwo and all the IMMERSIVE cards( MEWTOW,CHARIZARD,MEW,PIKACHU,CELEBI) the game has released so far. And it's F2P, by the way. I just don't have words for that!
I am kinda free to play, only got the premium going from time to time to not miss the premium only card and but never put money into opening packs, and I can tell you that I completed mythical island base set and only missing the bas mewtwo ex for genetic apex base set tho, still no 2stars or rainbow, tho I got every immersive twice and mewtwo gold twice xD
Hey Luke! Would it be a cool idea to do viewer account openings? Could be cool to different peoples collections and refreshing to see the NEW popping up more often. Ps. In case youre going to do this, I would volunteer to participate ;)))
bruh spending money on cards you can never even physically touch, or get or resell, and without backed up data might even be gone forever, but I don't think you wouldn't back it up, unless you care that little about it. But Why the frick even spend that much, gosh I'd be moving cross country with that money.
Yeah having the same repeats of 1 stars needing Celebi EX Rainbow Mew and Gold crown Mew and only getting holos and 1 stars is criminal. That’s with opening I think a lil over 2,000 and never gotten a gold crown in any set and pulled 2 god packs in Mythical Island recorded both🔥🙏🏻
I have all the cards in mythical island instead of the 2 stars and up, idk how I have way more cards in that pack than ur friend but he has way better cards
I can promise anyone spending does not= good luck. Im the only one in my friend group who has premium pass, and I've had it since day 1, and I EASILY have the worst luck and its not even remotely close. Most of my friends have 2+ crown/ immersives and I have 1. Mythical Island, I've already opened way more packs than my friends due to premium pass, and Im the only one out of all of them that doesn't have even a 2 star from this set.
Luck is totally random. My sister yesterday drew a 10 pack and on the 3rd pack she got a good pack. Two Crown mew, one rainbow mew and two other full art one star. She's completely f2p and barely plays the game.
A far more scientific method would be to look at multiple paid accounts and multiple free accounts and figure out how many total cards they've pulled and calculate the percentages of alt art cards each account has. But that's not the most exciting video.
I don’t believe this is a failure. What he’s attempting to show is: His main account - has spent lots of money - people claim this gives him good cards. His friend’s account - has spent zero money - people claim this creates lesser odds for good cards If you spend the same amount of money on both, will he gets equal results, random results, or will the account with more money spent on it actually give him more rare cards. People claim there is a wider net thrown the more money you spend. That could be right, or, it could be entirely random. There is no way to know without testing. I have heard stories of people spending hundreds of dollars to still have no crown rare. You’d think spending money would give you a wider net, but does it actually do this significantly, or is it only minor?
Brother just needed another excuse to spend $100 dollars on trash packs if you ever need to waste money on this game do it on wonder trades not packs bro the amount of trash you get on packs for majority of cards you already know is an insane ratio with the money you already spent i bet i have more 2 stars and i dont spend squat when it comes to trainer card alt arts i got 4 from wonder trades alone compared to one trainer alt art that i got from the amount of packs I opened it gives you a real eye opener
I explain this in the video: but I know the logic doesn’t make total sense….
But if you want me to compile 100x daily free packs or save hourglasses on account that hasn’t spent money vs Gold packs in a different video, Let me know.
Just trying to be more creative with ideas since the game is getting very repetitive ❤

☝️correct!
As a free to play player I have easily completed mythical islands and almost genetic apex
Same with golds and immersives, moneys not needed lol
Same 1500plus cards. Only charizard ex and pikachu ex left
Same, I might not have two copies of each immersive or EX but I just need 4 more cards to complete genetic apex.
No $$ needed
Today I just completed Mythical isles, Gyarados EX was the last card I needed.
Do you guys got the immersive mew ex by collecting all Pokemons from the kento poke dex
Same, and I have a gold Mewtwo
I agree with the low reward on everything They are so stingy with their rewards and I just don’t understand it They treat it like it’s coming out of their pocket when it’s literally just digital cards. It doesn’t cost them a penny
1 pack per level is absurd, especially when you get to the higher levels
because people pay higher prices in other gachas, or $200+ USD on skins in other games, "free" games are predatory by nature its the entire model bussiness on them, very few free games are truly f2p
They want paying to be advantageous. It's just how free-to-play games work.
@@IsomerMashups there cannot be that many people willing to pay for virtual pokemon cards, they will kill the game if they keep it up.

There are toggles at the bottom of the search filters, but you have to be in the mode that shows your missing cards to see them.
My guess before watching is it will be the same though 100 packs isn't that conclusive
Happy new year Luke! I'm back commenting.
@@Majd_the_boy hope you had a great holiday ❤️
It's not the cards you pull. The more money you spend the more often you get to go second in battle.
1,200 pack stamina would crazy what are these comments. That would take 300 days to collect just from daily bonuses. (Don’t remember what the account starts at + level up bonuses)
Nope, thanks for watching
Havent spent a dime got a ton of solid built decks been thrashing people online those solo battles really help get your more also
Opend 500 packs while spending some money and didn't get a single gold. New set came out and pulled 2 gold mew without spending a cent
3:22 The words are sigil and glyph. Sid jool and gliff. Put them together, and it is sid jool lif.
F2P is actually good in this game as I finished mythical island and missing 10 cards from mew two and pikachu
Much better if you compare free hourglass luck and pokegold luck.
I am a free to play player and I have all 5 immersive 3 charizard immersive lots of 2and 1 stars and almost completed both pokedex
I’m mainly f2p, only spent like 20 bucks (it was money I got for free)
I'm a f2p guy and I got three immersive Pikachu EX cards in one day, two of them in back to back packs
Funnily enough I have both Mewtwo EX and Charizard EX 's full art and immersive art cards but I don't have the normal EX version of those cards and I can play almost every meta deck of the game I've got almost every single EX pokémon at least twice except for Marowak, Arcanine, and Gengar, and Wigglytuff which is the only EX card I haven't got any copies of
I just started this game Friday actually which was my birthday. I have two accounts as well, a free to play and ofc my “Whale” account.
I have not dumped a lot of money into this game, so far I have maybe used $200 because birthday money. And I have got a good result spending and for farming. There was cards I have full art and even immersion on my FtP then my main.
However the least on my main I have the cards to build my decks so I’m happy
When a set comes out, i whale it for base rare playset/pvp purposes. Then i swap over to gp wp’ing for 2star playsets/collection purposes (and to flex in pvp). I have 76 2-3star cards total.
The crown rares won’t be whaled for, or pack point’d for (at most, immersive rare if i didnt pull 2 copies). If i get crown’s from RNG, cool, otherwise i dont care too much for them.
I like this approach. Two weeks, $200 (literally 100 a week) and I have almost all the cards (minus the art stuff and gold crowns). Of course everyone's budget is different, but when an expansion comes out dropping some cash ain't bad.
Been watching the videos the last few days and been loving the content but I need like 6 cards to fully complete Mythical Island and mostly being the bigger hits like gold crown mew and rainbow mew etc and like 32 for Genetic Apex🔥🔥 and I’ve gotten 2 god packs as well!
How do people not understand that the more money you pay. The more cards you'll get. It's all rng of what cards you get. Of course someone who spends $100s of dollars are going get more cards. It just depends on rng of the cards randomly selected in the packs
100 packs is not nearly enough to form a conclusion lmao
There isn’t a difference in luck there is amount of cards
I strongly doubt that there's any bias here, given that would be... well... illegal. They show you the odds. Lying about those odds would be false advertisement.
now its the youtuber luck
I've only spent 200$ and missing 15 cards. that 4 cards short of your account for 8x less money spent! luck can be a crazy thing huh?
also omg little george looks like toothless i love him
I think it will work better for comparison if the F2P account used only hourglass.
Me, as an F2P player got a lot of EX's but 5, FIVE of them, are Piggeot EX
I would LOVE to think money helped... but I've gotten 2 god packs and they both came from free pulls. Statistically, money helps because you just open more packs, but I've spent money and got nothing
I’m fr2 with 560 cards been playing for a week and I got 3 immersive cards and a god pack already so I wouldn’t assume money matters I have spent $1, just luck and I wish everyone equal luck!!
Hi Luke! My name is Krissy and I’m new to your channel! I just subscribed this morning! It’s now 7:02am EST!I love your content so far and I’m a big fan of Pokémon! My favorite Pokémon is Pikachu! I live in Ontario Canada! I’d love to see more of your videos!
So far this game is FTP friendly if you play every day. Expect to be a month behind all the whales when a new set comes out. Then, it's not very fun for FTP in PVP matches, other than to learn what the shifting meta is. It is hard to recommend this game to someone who doesnt play every day, as my mom has been playing almost every day and still cant make the good decks. Hopefully, I will be able to help her get some good decks together when trading is implemented.
I'm also FTP and I pulled the crown gold Mew EX card before I pulled a Servine. I had TWO Celebi EX cards before I had the Servine! That card was so hard for me to get! In fact, it was my second to last of the diamond cards before I had them all. I tried to wonder pick it so many times, and FINALLY it worked for me. I still haven't pulled the card from a pack. I hate Servine. 😅😫
I'm liking because I enjoy George
They shouldn't give anything extra to players that pay a shit load of money.... the people that spend thousands should stop spending that money so that games are going to ask for normal prices ..
It’s stupid but they get more packs so the generally gonna have a better chance at getting a hit
You fool. The whales are the reason you get to play for free.
I'ma F2P player and completed the Mythical Island expansion pack already (1-4 diamonds rarity).
But for the rarer ones, I still don't have
1. Dedenne
2. Vaporeon
3. Both Celebi ex rarer cards
4. Three of Mew ex rarer cards
5. Leaf
6. Blue
7. Gyarados rarer card
8. Both Aerodactyl ex rarer cards
What notable cards I have
1. 2 copies of both Pidgeot ex cards
2. 2 copies Mew ex 4-diamonds
3. 3 copies of Gyarados ex 4-diamonds
4. A single copy of 4-diamonds for both Celebi ex and Aerodactyl Ex
5. A single copy of B. Expeditioner rare
How many packs did you open?
I feel like some people are missing the word increases in the title. It’s to see if someone who spent a lot of money vs someone who just started would have better luck. Like to test if Pokémon rewards you for spending money
Well, you have far more luck than what I have. I didn't get a single EX card in my last 12+ mythical island pulls. I'm missing gyarados ex, aerodactyl ex, pidgeot ex and even tauros. Also struggling to complete apex 151 challenge
I finished mythical island without paying 💀
I have FOUR immersive Celebi. No full art Celebi or normal art Celebi but four immersive. And I'm tired of seeing it lol
Examine the chances of getting on both accounts? (which I think are legally required to be true)
> Nah
Open 100 packages on each (and spend a lot of money) to prove whether or not luck is boosted on paid accounts?
> Ho Yeah!
It's your energy you carry into the pack 😭
Bro, I have three accounts, and in one of them, I have a Crown rare Gold Mewtwo and all the IMMERSIVE cards( MEWTOW,CHARIZARD,MEW,PIKACHU,CELEBI) the game has released so far. And it's F2P, by the way. I just don't have words for that!
no way i have never seen a video so fast
I’ve gotten 5 immersive celebi full arts yet 0 full art serperior cards
I got my gold Pikachu in a free pack.
There's no difference its in their heads. Ive been full ftp for awhile pulling what I need.
How do you save up packs? I can't even save 2 without them being opened lmao
your friends list is full :( guess I won't be getting any immersive celebis 😭
damn my luck is so good lol these openings are kinda whack, so many dupes
I am kinda free to play, only got the premium going from time to time to not miss the premium only card and but never put money into opening packs, and I can tell you that I completed mythical island base set and only missing the bas mewtwo ex for genetic apex base set tho, still no 2stars or rainbow, tho I got every immersive twice and mewtwo gold twice xD
I really want to complete the original 151 for genetic apex
Hey Luke! Would it be a cool idea to do viewer account openings? Could be cool to different peoples collections and refreshing to see the NEW popping up more often.
Ps. In case youre going to do this, I would volunteer to participate ;)))
Who has a Pikachu EX
I have a crown rare Pikachu
Watch for 2 minutes and you've put money on both accounts so its not free to play anymore, I refuse to watch the rest 😔
bruh spending money on cards you can never even physically touch, or get or resell, and without backed up data might even be gone forever, but I don't think you wouldn't back it up, unless you care that little about it. But Why the frick even spend that much, gosh I'd be moving cross country with that money.
I've got an extra full art gyrados ex if you have an extra full art Pidgot ex I'd love to trade when that goes live.
I got you 100%, I just hope trading isn’t lame haha
@LukeRestifo lol right
Yeah having the same repeats of 1 stars needing Celebi EX Rainbow Mew and Gold crown Mew and only getting holos and 1 stars is criminal. That’s with opening I think a lil over 2,000 and never gotten a gold crown in any set and pulled 2 god packs in Mythical Island recorded both🔥🙏🏻
The rainbow mew for me was easy to get
I have all the cards in mythical island instead of the 2 stars and up, idk how I have way more cards in that pack than ur friend but he has way better cards
I have an extra Marowak and Blastoise 2 star to trade, whenever it will be available 😅
I got a basic account with no money in and I'm a few cards short of completion
He's paid $1500 and is missing 13 cards. I've paid $300 and I'm missing 11. I don't think more money = better odds
I do not like the cilbi immersive card because I keep getting it once I got it 15 times in a row
I do not like celebi immersive card😢😢😢😢 because I keep getting it once I got it 15 times in a row
Im here to say No i spent $100 on packs and i only got a celebi n moltres n mew2
I can promise anyone spending does not= good luck. Im the only one in my friend group who has premium pass, and I've had it since day 1, and I EASILY have the worst luck and its not even remotely close. Most of my friends have 2+ crown/ immersives and I have 1. Mythical Island, I've already opened way more packs than my friends due to premium pass, and Im the only one out of all of them that doesn't have even a 2 star from this set.
Luck is totally random. My sister yesterday drew a 10 pack and on the 3rd pack she got a good pack. Two Crown mew, one rainbow mew and two other full art one star. She's completely f2p and barely plays the game.
A far more scientific method would be to look at multiple paid accounts and multiple free accounts and figure out how many total cards they've pulled and calculate the percentages of alt art cards each account has. But that's not the most exciting video.
I’ve been in a pack dry spell for a while now. Need another gengar ex so bad haha
I don’t believe this is a failure.
What he’s attempting to show is:
His main account - has spent lots of money - people claim this gives him good cards.
His friend’s account - has spent zero money - people claim this creates lesser odds for good cards
If you spend the same amount of money on both, will he gets equal results, random results, or will the account with more money spent on it actually give him more rare cards.
People claim there is a wider net thrown the more money you spend. That could be right, or, it could be entirely random. There is no way to know without testing.
I have heard stories of people spending hundreds of dollars to still have no crown rare. You’d think spending money would give you a wider net, but does it actually do this significantly, or is it only minor?
man i spent 0 bucks on the game and 3 days in i got a gold mew 2 ex
How did you get two of versus Selby’s in 10 packs? I could barely get two peas in three packs, but I did.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My free-to-play gf has opened way more 2-3 star and even 2 crown card than me (a dolphin)
Also if you go to the decks, it says that you will get 30 pokemon cards in a deck
Idk if they will make an update for that or not?
Brother just needed another excuse to spend $100 dollars on trash packs if you ever need to waste money on this game do it on wonder trades not packs bro the amount of trash you get on packs for majority of cards you already know is an insane ratio with the money you already spent i bet i have more 2 stars and i dont spend squat when it comes to trainer card alt arts i got 4 from wonder trades alone compared to one trainer alt art that i got from the amount of packs I opened it gives you a real eye opener
As trading comes out soon I can trade you a rainbow mew as I have 2 of them
Please jus sleve your full art pokemon trainer card 😢
I spent like $13 and just opened 10 packs and got 2 charizard ex 😅
Frist time spending money
Should use Hourglass not gold
I'm f2p
I got 3 Gyarados 2 star, 2 of them in the same pack
7:02 I have pulled but I don't have immerse celebi 😅
