Thought this would be a cool article to share about the upcoming hidden fates set. Looks like shining charizard and the stain glass moltres/articuno/zapdos cards are coming to the US.

I’m hyped for the stain glass card. One of the best artworks imo.

I know it makes people mad to see these made into promos, but I’m glad we can buy them straight off the shelf and sell the extra. I went all in on Shining Legends and never pulled a gradeable card, it soured me towards anything modern. Picked up the Pikachu Zekrom tin a couple months ago just for the promo and was pleasantly surprised it had no whitening and great centering. Really excited for this new set!

So how many unique cards will we be able to pull from the packs?
Article mentions over 80 shiny Pokémon, probably about 10 will be release in promoboxes. So 70 from packs?
Than the ‘real’ set has 68 cards excluding secret rares. The 4 FA Stadiums & 4 Golden Shiny GX will probably be secret rares.
That’s another 8 cards.
68 + 80 + 8 = 156.
I know right! Over the past year or so they’ve been doing articles here and there on various pokemon TCG topics. Here is one of my favorites… www.ign.com/articles/2018/08/24/how-pokemon-cards-are-made-in-8-steps
Gives a nice indepth look into the process behind making the cards

Awesome article! I want to get my hands on some of those playtest cards. An autographed one would be great! I can dream can’t I?

How many cards will be in each hidden fates booster?
What do you all think will be the pull rate on the alternate arts (shining cards) the pull rates were notorious in the japanese release.
I hope they leave the annoying energies out of the packs.

Someone got some packs early and made a video opening them. What do you guys think about the pull rates* based on these packs?
