This video was INSANE. From the amazing editing to the pretty much perfect pull of each cards for 72 window slots was extremely aesthetically pleasing. As well as that information in the form of a scientific video was entertaining as well and 100% should get more attention.
I have some more experimental data to add to the discussion. I tried this on a booster box and indeed had a weight correlation but not the same one you had. For me all my hits were between 22.34 and 22.45. Anything either lighter or heavier than that range was a non hit.
Watched DrApplesauce aswell. This hurts alot Pokémon, especially when you already have scalping local shops. Thank you gentlemen for all the great information.
@@GpMarvelRivals the tricky part is, the heavier pack nowadays is the dud one. Why? Because when Pokemon wanted to add more weight to the green code card to balance it with the white-green code card (good packs that contain good cards) they did a bit too much and the pack with green code cards became heavier. And probably Pokemon changed things up again since Fusion Strike has different code card. Still messed up, tho.
Awesome video! I love how you cut through the speculation and guessing and just structure a dang-darn experiment! This really fuels my passion for collecting in general, great stuff!
I just stumbled upon this video and this is a very fun game to play, and it somewhat replicates that same feeling of, 'did I pick the good pack' part of what we love about Pokemon Card collecting. You should totally do another video like this!
They say the pull rates are as horrible as hitting the lottery! Better chance at the power ball fellas lol nah but I’m waiting on some packs in the mail and I’ll see for my self . Let’s go Pat
Same cards pulled: 2:08 Same cards pulled: 3:02 Same cards pulled: 3:41 Same cards pulled: 4:24 And choose pink since at end pink was the one with the lightest I think and the best cards
Great information... We always wondered about weighing packs, so now we know. We would also caution on buying booster boxes too unless you get them from your LGS. Otherwise you run the risk of getting a resealed box with pristine packs and 0 hits.
This was a really informational video, on top of a great new way to go through a box! Did you sync up your card pulling by listening to music as you did it, or do some light timing adjustments in editing afterward?
I have been meaning to message you about this. I have a little bit more info on this. I've opened 6 booster boxes. 5 from a lgs and 1 from a pre-order. The 5 I opened from the lgs were all weighable and predictable, but the one on pre-order that was delayed wasn't weighable. So it makes me believe that when they switched the factory that use to focus on premium boxes to help out with mass producing bolster boxes that they aren't following the same algorithm that they are suppose to. So the distributor thst got their boxes first, which factory did it come from? And the one that was delayed because the distributor didn't get theirs in on time, which factory did thst come from? My theory is it's the factory that it was made in. I went 5/6 boxes weighable 100% 22.22-22.58 but my 6th box was 22.22-22.36 on all packs.
I noticed almost immediately when I opened my first FS pack... The white code card is almost as thin as paper, and bends just from touching it. The black cards however are much more premium.
EPIC! I PICKED THE PACK WITH THE FULL ART TRAINER All of my Picks were Hits I might be lucky, everytime I go out and choose individual packs I always get a hit ( and I don't weigh them ) But when I opened a pikachu and Zekrom and a Reshiram and Charizard Premium Set ( 20 total packs ) I got nothing besides 3 V'S LOL ) I guess a V is a hit but A VMAX is What I usually get
1st pack I went for the middle right and "hit" but would have loved to get some of the basic adorabubble ones like Morepeko from the packs to the left of it. 2nd pack I chose the lower left most and still got a "hit" but the pack to the right corner of it had more adorable cards again 🤣 3rd pack I went with the position as my first pick (middle right) & had no "hits" nor any cute ones Was so fun to play along and see all the cards available! & definitely good info to spread around
The solution seems to be have 6 or more different variable weight code cards put in at random. This will make weighting possible but very few packs could be guaranteed heavy or light. This would also prevent the annoying problem of knowing you got a hit based on color.
Multiple weighted codes cards placed randomly should fix this up 👍🏻 I bought evo skies loose packs and they were searched by a small cut on the bottom face of the pack that when a light was shined through you could see either a green or white code card. It was actually featured in one of my first videos.
That's why I've just decided to buy singles from now on. With pull rates going down since chilling reign and now the whole weighed packs ordeal it just makes sense to buy the cards I want instead of gambling. Might buy sealed products just as a display piece
@@bruce0816 it does cause youll get less heavy packs from sellers and because of that, get less hits. Singles will always be better though because its cheaper. The one time i beat a single was with two VV and i pulled rainbow pikachu.
You had one job pokemon, It hard watching pokemon taking a step back when they have been doing very well lately. I love this set but because of the inconsistance pulls from boxes plus being able to weigh packs it's not gonna do to well. Awesome video Pat, so well done.
Not going to lie this was really entertaining to watch. Been watching following for a while and have seen how much you have grown and improved your video content so much!
Real Breaking Nate pulled a Chilling Reign Vmax card out of an Evolving skies pack...Pokemon Quality Assurance is trash. So I can see them screwing up the code card mix but like you proved it doesnt matter.
Thanks for bringing this to the communities attention. It's unfortunate that this is possible because there are people in this world who will buy a booster box and keep all the hits then sell the rest of their loose packs without hits on the secondary market. Good luck on your pulls everyone!
I noticed at many of the stores, a handful of the packs are still there and all of them are heavy. Scalpers only went after the light packs. Make the black code cards slightly heavier, by maybe about 0.1 grams.
@@intergalacticdegengypsy6135 My sensitivity to touch allows me to figure out the slightest difference. When I was younger, I got a hit every time from the heavy packs. I tested this, and managed to pull a Mew half art from a pack. Hand weighing works. I felt the packs from the store, and they were all heavy. Sensitive touch does have its flaws though. Some textures drive me crazy. I’ve even thrown up when I cannot stand the feel of certain foods.
its cool to know how to see which ones are bangers but ngl it cracks me up thinking imma carry a weighting device whenever i visit the store to get pkm packs
Wow if these were my packs I'd finally land something what wasn't a Holo rare.... Elesa's Sparkle!!! It'd make up for the 20+ holo rares we've gotten and NO V's or above.... Insane. Nice research on the weights!
Fusion Strike has been killing me. I've opened almost 200 non booster box packs and got 1 full art trainer, 1 gold card and 1 rainbow mew. I opened a booster box and got only 5 v cards and the rest of the hits were holos
Hey Pat, great video! Was wondering what video editing software you use, because your videos are always 🔥! I'm a small poketuber and am researching new editing software to transition to. Thanks!
The same order of the cards is what I've noticed at first glance but I would have never guessed the new code cards made it even worse. I wish they would try to use the insert cards to their advantage and make the packs weigh the same weight. Or very similar weight. That would help battle the reselling of dud packs epidemic.
This does not apply to all packs and boxes, though! There are various printing facilities producing Pokemon cards and seems like one of the new ones uses somewhat lighter card stock. I opened up a box yesterday, tried wrighing some packs and it was impossible to determine hit packs.
I think it is interesting that the pink cards were all pulls, when going through it i thought he might have weighed them before choosing a color for the packs.
Unfortunate that they’re weighable 😔 but good to know that they switched the code cards, so at least for this set, it’s opposite to what it used to be. Great video 👏👏👏
I noticed for Brilliant Stars the packs with black code cards are guaranteed 2 hits (holo, reverse, v, or better) and the white code cards only have 1 hit. Don't know what Pokémon company is up to but they just need to stick to one color code card lol
Me: I’m not going to participate in this experimental video I’m just going to watch. Also me: TOP LEFT AND PINK Entertaining video, good for you coming up with a creative idea.
I already knew what the title was about so I was worried when you started out the video not even related to it but you soon got to the issue which excited me. Although what I liked even more about the video was how many pack openings you crammed in, you just went in and opened the boxes showing 12 packs at once rather than one at a time and glamorizing over each pull. Managing to get through what? 12 ETBs worth of packs in a 10 minute video. You even said that the pulls wasn't your intention in the end. So kudos to you on that front
Luckily I already pulled my chase card from this set, so I don’t really have a reason to open more. I just hope they fix this when Brilliant Stars comes out.
Well I guess they’re still doing it with even the newest sets cause I just put up a short of opening the lightest pack I had and it was a hit, and then 2 days later I see this video!
Ive seen multiple people mention that possibly TPCi accidentally swapped the code cards but that doesnt make sense. As we all know, a holo is heavier than a non holo. So if the code cards were switched then waying would be even more obvious. The weight range would go from 22.25-22.6 to 22.15-22.7

Weights aside, opening 12 packs all at once like that look super cool!
Thanks!
This is the way! 2 boxes in under 10 min and a point I can pause at to see just rare pulls.
I can pick winners out just by feeling the weight with my hand. ..Crazy

The way you unboxed is so much better then doing each one at a time
Maybe this is like Pokémon’s 25th anniversary way of giving a throw back to baseset by making it weigh able lol

JAIL 😭

Glad you were able to shed some light on the set being weightable. Spread the knowledge!! Also thank you for the shoutout!

What about when they’re sleeved? Any tips for weighing those?
3:30 did you see those two packs get the same cards 4 times in a row
The black in is heavier isn’t it..,
Same cards pulled: 2:08
Same cards pulled: 3:02
Same cards pulled: 3:41
Same cards pulled: 4:24

Did you sync up your card pulling by listening to music as you did it, or do some light timing adjustments in editing afterward?
Listening to a metronome on RUclips that was literally an hour long of just ticking lol.
@@deeppocketmonster glad you made it through all that. Great video!
0:50 I picked the 2nd one in the front
1:37 9th from bottom
2:13 picked 7th from top
So could you technically weigh an entire booster box to find the lightest one?
Yes you could
