I have watched a few videos on youtube, including ones from Smpratte, stating that in a shining legends ETB, you (usually) get at least 2 shining pokemon.
Each video that i’ve watched had that same pull rate, so I decided to buy 3 elite trainer boxes for myself.
I have opened two of them so far, and have not gotten one single shining card.
I did get a regular gx card, and the rainbow entei in one of the boxes. but the other had nothing but normal holo’s.
I am wondering if this seems fishy?
I’m assuming that I am just getting extremely unlucky, but I don’t know.
The packs do look a little suspiscious, but again I might just be paranoid.
@scythe, that wouldnt be anything to fret over there, as that isnt a case of a reseal but rather bad luck
This is common, cant always get the greatest of pulls and always remember that pull rates are just estimates from one persons analysis of the situation. A reseal would typically be noticed, especially in shining legends as you wouldnt have pulled that Entei, nor would you have gotten the promo hooh inside either because they would have taken that too.
Also, to add some additional info here: I bought the big shining legends box from the Pokemon Center a while back (the one with the lugia promo) and didnt pull a single shiny out of that myself. Oddly enough I pulled that rainbow Entei and i think one other gx too, so maybe that could ease your mind a bit as well
Appreciate the input guys!
I was debating if I should open this last ETB or not.
I should mention that, the ETB I got the rainbow entei from was from a different seller.
The one I have here, is from the same seller that had not a single gx card or anything.
Some people buy boxes to keep sealed for the case of sealing down the road, but as for myself when it comes to modern or things i like, im typically buying with the intent to open, regardless of what I pull. Some people get great things, others dont, but its just the luck of the draw and the collecting thrill!
You’re not alone, I opened two of these ETBs that I took from part of my sealed collection and got awful pulls. Consensus is that shining pulls are typically 1 in 15 packs, but that’s not an official number (I believe it was based on Derium’s bulk openings) and it all comes down to pure luck. I saw smpratte’s ETB opening and wanted to cry at that damn luck, seriously what even was that ETB.
