Glad that other content creators are giving you recognition for what you do. Have you spoken on if you'll be going to any card shows in California/west coast?
End gang! Thanks again man great video and I think it’s awesome you’re being showcased with others on their videos that’s so cool. I’m proud of you. But this release I know everyone is upset and stuff but I’m like super pumped tbh I took off work dude I’m camping at a game store where they will be selling for msrp. And then I’m gonna run around to big box stores with friends to get our hands on stuff. I think it’s gonna be a blast and like just getting my hands on the stuff I’ll be lucky so imo I’m excited I say bring on the chaos lol. I’ll be upset when I put prismatic in my cart on Pokemon center and then I crash and the website deems me a bot and won’t let me log on. That’s the only thing I’m upset about is it’s not a first come first serve it’s a get lucky and hopefully our website doesn’t crash bologna. Thanks again man
This next stretch is kinda the perfect storm. We already know Prismatic and most of Journey together. The Team Rocket set and Unova set will probably be bangers. They will definitely do a SV wrap up set like Crown Zenith, Gen 10 1st set will get hype and 2026 is the 30th anniversary.
So you’d rather the content you consume to be dishonest ? Weird. Prismatic will be available everywhere on release day, you’ll be able to get as much as you want for msrp.
@@Theu131 can you read ? Everyone knows it’ll be available but not really onces scalpers get to the store and see the stock they will most likely buy all of most of it at least ! If preorders are gone imagine once it’s actually in the stores it’s going to be gone ! For sure bc they can easily make double already
It’s not once store it’s across the country ! I’m sure everyone is going to be ready at these stores to buy as much as they can and remember people got jobs it’s not like they have all day waiting for a store to open to buy cardboard
I have a PC Etb and 2 booster bundles coming and I’m putting it away as a just in case I can’t get more product. At least I have a little something if things really get hairy. I really hope it’s not a bloodbath for these products and Pokemon just prints this to oblivion. Happened to crown zenith and it recovered quite nicely, it just took a while.
Does anyone think that the heat will come down a little bit after release and channels start doing more openings? The hit rate on SIRs seems to be consistent with the past few sets, so not good. It's hard enough when packs are under msrp, but with the prices now why would anyone open their packs? It's not a good situation for pokemon cards right now.
I can tell u what will happen, price will increase even more. Prismatic has been out in my country since the 10th and prices have almost doubled nearing the 17th
Yea that’s crazy bro so what these ebay sellers are selling the umbreon and haven’t even pulled it yet then turns out it’s gonna be hard as hell to pull and they might not even get the card and the buyer is assed out 😮
I’m hoping I can snag a pc etb. Hope I can put in my card info fast enough 😂 Also, I did see you in that pokerev video and was like “hey I know that guy!”
These Sunbreon prices are insane, I can't believe people are actually paying that much for a card from a set that's not even out yet! Some people got too much money lol
Isn’t it kind of detrimental to the customer base of pokemon that brick and mortar retailers are purchasing exclusive stock from PC and reselling it? I can’t see how that’s not a big no no from Pokémon’s perspective?!
What reprints man? You know how many sets have come out and there’s not been many reprints? Not only that, they plan on releasing the original print all the way till September. So earliest a reprint comes is a whole year from release….when the margins are this good the bots come out to play. The only way for pokemon to get this under control and is to keep stocking the damn pokemon center website which they just can’t seem to do. We are screwed short term. Big box retailers don’t care at all.
I’m so mad GameStop jsut sent me an email with no order # stating that I exceed the amount of units per household for binder collections, I preordered them back in November and the website didn’t say anything about limit per household fuckin baloney i only ordered 10 unites makes no sense
@@Poketeatime so you decided to buy 10 binder collections which are the worst value for packs out of pretty much everything released? Everyone wants to get annoyed at everyone else but refuse to look in the mirror.
I’m sorry I came at you the way I did during the last video, I am someone who does math for a living I am telling you the way that you determine the average of a random possibility is different than the way it is being presented on videos and on TCG player, when you don’t have exact variables such as the full sample size of all packs. 1in64 the average of 64 is 32.5 (this is the lowest average) if you multiply that times the average of cards available to be pulled at that pull rate 1 in32 the average of which is 16.5 it is, 32.5x16.5=536.25 you round this number up and you have the low end of the average 537 you then do that for the high end of the average 64x32=2,048 so the average range to pull any card you want specifically on that list is 537 packs to 2048 packs which presents a different picture than a doomsday scenario that is the current hot topic in the space the actual average pull rate among all packs should be either 16.5x64=1,056 or 32.5x32=1,040. The math works out differently for evolving skies now because it is no longer in print therefore the moonbreon is rarer and the only people who benefit from comparing the two cards in rarity are people trying to hype the card to the moon. It creates fomo and the potential for people to lose their money hard if the set gets reprinted to an good degree, which is why I’m getting upset with it the chances are much higher for you to pull the “new” moonbreon than the older one in the current times so the prices should not realistically be the same for this set that we have no idea of the print schedule but is still in print vs the one that’s not ever going to be printed again and has a finite population of desirable examples. Again I’m sorry I vented the way I did before but this is the reality of the numbers, which may have been close at the launch of evolving skies but at the start of evolving the price of the moonbreon was $350 not the price of1/20th the average starting salary of a normal person. It is not really not a fair comparison in the current climate and people who spend based on it could and likely will lose in the near future with the hype being placed on it.
Just a fair warning to the creator: The math above is not only wrong, but so many things are just statistically wrong, wrongly applied and badly calculated, that I can't even begin to explain. Surely no one who "does math for a living" is truly claiming, that odds from random packs are higher or lower, because one of the packs has been opened more often.
@sharkify1010 let’s turn this into a conversation instead of accusing each other, if I am wrong i will for sure concede but I would like some level of proof that your math is accurate in comparison, my argument is simple, that you take the average of both numbers in the equation and multiply them together to find the low end of the average pull value, I will put it into sections so that you can argue your points and reference sections. 1.the number of the SIR’s in the set is 32 the average of 32 is 16.5. You get the average by adding the numbers up to 32 and then dividing by 32, for example 1+2+3….30+31+32=528/32=16.5. 1.5. the reason you take the average of this number is because if all variables are equal (all SIR in the set are printed the same number of times each) you are statistically unlikely to have a situation where you open every other SIR before hitting the desired card, hence the average. 2. The number of packs needed to pull an SIR is 64 by the current estimation based on the current data available. You can average this number as well to get the low end average of packs needed to open the card you want but that is assuming some things that may be a bit much for this argument so we will not do that for now. 3. To get the true average (range) of packs needed to open a specific card you are looking for you would multiply both numbers the average number of SIR needed to pull the one wanted at random (16.5) and the total number of SIR in the set (32) against the number of packs needed to be opened to reach an SIR (64). The two equations are as follows 16.5x64=1,056 And 32x64=2,048 Making the average range of packs needed to be opened between 1056 packs and 2048 packs. 4. 537 was the lowest end of the average assuming that you average the 1in 64 for Luck and other unknowns such as batching in your favor and whatnot but mathematically was only added to my original comment to give the lowest end average. Mathematically this is the hardest part to quantify and therefore will concede this point as a show of good faith. 5. The reason for assuming the current pull rates of evolving skies for getting a specific card are currently worse that they were originally is because of unknown variables that cannot be quantified easily but let’s attempt, if we make some assumptions of the populations of the moonbreon by taking a fixed dataset like the pop report of all graded copies of moonbreon in the PSA. there are 18,348 copies currently graded by PSA if we assume that the other 6 v max alt arts were printed to the same degree that would be 18,348x6=110,088, then if we take that number and multiply it times the number of packs on average needed to pull a v max alt art 1in 332, so 110,088x332=36,549,216 packs have been opened bare minimum for the average, that means that for the odds to be as good for the old moonbreon to be pulled currently as the new moonbreon is that another exponent of packs would need to exist, and I do not believe that to be the case. And we can assume that they will be printing at least a similar amount overall as they printed of evolving skies of prismatic evolutions, based on this information the chances of pulling an old moonbreon is exponentially lower than pulling the new one. Based on the amount of packs still available or potentially available for each. And even if we want to state that both packs have the same population currently the fact is that a pack still in print will have more made vs a pack no longer in print. 6. The moonbreon was $350 dollars for the highest end likelihood of pulling it time period, and has only now reached the heights of 2100 dollars, the current moonbreon is still available and will be available for at least the next six months, to have the price of it being anywhere near former’s current price is nonsensical in nature and makes no sense on a logical scale. Please if I am wrong anywhere here explain it, and let’s have a battle where our numbers fight not our egos. Thanks and have a great day. 😀
Frustration aside: The pull rates are pretty standard on the Prismatic Evolutions. It is just becoming a "thing" because most content creator want to create a buzz. That's all. For most SIRs in the modern set, we had a pullrate of 1/65 to 1/86 packs. PokeRev and others, who have opened enough packs, have usually hit the quota on them. What changed is: There are more different SIRs, namely 32 and hitting a specific one is harder. I would consider, that 9 out of 32 are Eeveelutions, which is considered a "good" SIR, has to be taken into account. I know people chase the Umbreon, but it is more blind hype for the card, than actual math, that makes it difficult to get pulled. IR's have been replaced by Pokeball / Masterballs. Usually there are less unique IR's in other sets, than there are Pokeball / Masterballs, so pulling a Masterball just doesn't FEEL like a hit, which is understandable. Not to mention, people paying 15-20$ in the US for a pack is just insane, and makes it harder to swallow the pull rates, which are actually pretty normal. I mean, people pay around 5x what they usually pay for a pack? I mean it's understandable, that the level of frustration is high when you get pack after pack without any hit. Opening cards is rarely profitable, but having dud packs for 20$ just hits different. So all in all, the pull rates are not abnormal. Some people have said, that they expected easier pull rates, because IR's were "missing" so they expected higher probabilities on the 32 SIRs from the set, but Pokemon obviously didn't see it that way.
Yeah like I said in the video pull rates seem like they are lining up with Paldean Fates but the amount of SIRs makes it much harder for a specific card.
Good luck on release week!

Dreaming too small, each one will be a god pack
I for one have faith 😂

it is possible you get the God pack and pull all the 9 SIR Eeveelutions.

3k by end of the year.
My guess is 1200 end of year

Frustration aside:
The pull rates are pretty standard on the Prismatic Evolutions. It is just becoming a "thing" because most content creator want to create a buzz. That's all.
For most SIRs in the modern set, we had a pullrate of 1/65 to 1/86 packs. PokeRev and others, who have opened enough packs, have usually hit the quota on them. What changed is: There are more different SIRs, namely 32 and hitting a specific one is harder. I would consider, that 9 out of 32 are Eeveelutions, which is considered a "good" SIR, has to be taken into account. I know people chase the Umbreon, but it is more blind hype for the card, than actual math, that makes it difficult to get pulled.
IR's have been replaced by Pokeball / Masterballs. Usually there are less unique IR's in other sets, than there are Pokeball / Masterballs, so pulling a Masterball just doesn't FEEL like a hit, which is understandable. Not to mention, people paying 15-20$ in the US for a pack is just insane, and makes it harder to swallow the pull rates, which are actually pretty normal. I mean, people pay around 5x what they usually pay for a pack? I mean it's understandable, that the level of frustration is high when you get pack after pack without any hit.

Only thing is the cards arent nearly as good as evolving skies.
