@emba I really like the raikou! The Zekrom looks a little funky, but the raikou definitely looks great!

I wonder how the texture is gonna be, feels like just another layer that can scratch hard.

Pretty excited to see how rare these will be

67

I am curious as well.

There can be a regular print version of it and the rainbow-texture is the harder to get alternative (down side: even more chase cards in an already chase card heavy set setup). Orā€¦ They are just this sets Prism Stars and youā€™ll get them every other booster (down side: they go for pennies. up side: no extra chase cards)

Anyone know the current pull rates for these amazing rares? Also curious if it will be much harder in English like they do every other set pretty much

@genosha, Iā€™m curious about the texture too, it looks similar to what we have on the English full arts texture wise? Just not on the full card.

@pokeaddict84/ @genosha I was thinking it was going to be a similar rarity to prism stars but the plain/textured rarities is interesting. It looks like those cards are already textured though and the ones in the stream seemed textured too so that might not be it? I was kind of hoping they were going to be similar to how Pokemon did the secret rares during BW. Plus, reading elsewhere there might be a gameplay focus for these so they might not want to make them super rare. Hoping to be wrong though haha I love a pretty art chase card.

That hasnā€™t been revealed yet, as the set hasnā€™t released.

If I was a betting man, itā€™ll roughly follow same rarity as shinings from Ultra Shiny GX and Shining Legends and be around 2 per box.

Bulbapedia suggests 1 in every booster packā€¦ disappointing if soā€¦

That would meanā€¦

That would make them a bit too common, right?

73

And now it says 1 in every 24 boxes! Wow!

That canā€™t be right either, that would mean the set is near impossible to complete

75

1 in 24 boxesā€¦ This cant be true. 1 amazing rare per booster box would be ok but if you can only pull 1 in every 24 boxes then these cards will have crazy values

Hahaha, The hell is going onā€¦ :rofl:

The big problem with Bulbapedia is that they do not enforce any form of reference checking. To add claims like that to Wikipedia youā€™d have to cite your sources, but Bulbapedia doesnā€™t care. Anyone can edit the article to say anything they like.

Chances are until the set has been out for a couple of weeks nobody will know for sure.

The only confirmed information on the official mini site is that each Pack includes:

7 cards.
7 random cards per pack, including a holo card (guaranteed).

I double checked this (japanese translator). I have seen no information on the Amazing Rare rarity numbers.

If I see any numbers (which I honestly doubtā€¦) for Amazing Rares, I will either cover this on my news site or share it here. VMAX card rarities also havenā€™t been officially confirmed.

Shameless plug:

I have made a list of Japanese card rarities:

Did you know SR doesnā€™t mean Secret Rare but Super Rare? I see many collectors make that mistake. Technically it is a secret rare, but the official wording is Super Rare.
