Pulling 2 Zards in 1 ETB, rare??

I’ve only been able to open 3 ETBs prior to tonight for Celebrations. Tonight I opened a 4th and managed to pull 2 Zards out of 1 box. I didn’t think that was possible, has anyone else heard of this and is it common?

I didn’t pull any Charizards in the 4 Celebrations ETBs I opened. But 2 of them had 2 of the original starter trio final evolutions, and 1 of them had 3. All Blastoise and Venusaur, obviously.

Assuming the chances to pull any of the 3 is equal then pulling 2 Charizards isn’t rare, but lucky.

Ty for the feedback and reply! :blush:

I pulled to Venusaurs out of 1 box. SO, I imagine, Zards would be similarly possible.

bigger Q, is that a miscut on the bottom R of the Left Zard, or is it just the sleeve?!

The Charizard from this set is about twice as difficult to pull as the Venusaur or Blastoise. Not the most insane luck considering Celebrations is a generously loaded set, but very lucky nonetheless!

I’m not seeing it?? Can you circle the area in question

The area closest to your thumb is thinner then the top of the card, however it might be the angle of the picture appearing.

Ahh ok ya that’s just the angle. I can confirm it’s not a MC

I opened around 200 packs of Celebrations and hit 2 Charizard. We opened an ETB for Christmas and got a 3rd. In comparison, we got 7-8 Venusaur and Blastoise in the 200 packs.

Getting 2 from 1 ETB is definitely very lucky, congrats!

I opened 36 packs and ended up with the Shining Magikarp as my best pull and 4 Reshirams… I didn’t even get the FA base reprint Pikachu.

On the other hand I bought the Korean golden box (5 Promo Packs) and one Korean 25th booster box (4 Promo Packs). And pulled 2 Charizard, 2 Venusuar, 2 Mega Rayquaza EX, 2 Tapu Lele GX, and 1 Xerneas EX. The cherry on top is I got the Shiny Mew in the booster box.

Well, I pulled 2 Umbreons and 2 Stoises on mine :stuck_out_tongue:. Celebrations pulls sometimes look like they are bulked together

I opened around 30 packs and didn’t get a charizard. Celebrations is super varied for specific hits. Maxmoefoe’s 5 Blastoise are typing

I opened around 75 packs. No Zard, No gold Mew. 4 Umbreons, 4 Blastoises, 15 Oak Full art, 6 Birthday Pikas, 6 Mews ex.

A friend of mine opened an etb and the dragapult collection and pulled 2 zards and 2 mew

I opened around 40 packs and also no Zard. One Venusaur, Two Blastoises. Of course this is a small sample size, but based on what we’ve seen it does seem like Charizard is rarer than Venusaur and Blastoise in this set.

According to this reddit thread and a 5000 pack sample the Charizard is 2-3x harder to pull.

If I remember correctly for me it’s been:

0x Dark Gyarados
3x Claydol
2x Rocket’s Zapdos
2x Team Magma’s Groudon
1x Impostor Professor Oak
1x Here Comes Team Rocket
0x Cleffa

0x Umbreon GS
0x Shining Magikarp
0x Mewtwo EX
0x Charizard
1x Xerneas EX
1x Tapu Lele GX

This is out of 45 packs (I only know because I checked how many Celebrations code cards I have)

And still only ONE Solgaleo of the regular cards which I find mind blowing. Also no Gold Mew.
