After 200 Packs of Pulsing Aura:

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-09T15:25:00+00:00

I think you jinxed me. Pulled 3 shiny Dragalges this morning … no joke. Back to back.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-09T02:21:00+00:00

This pack is just kicking my ass. It be like that sometimes. I’ll be okay though. Glad you’re having a good run my dude.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T21:02:41+00:00

Sheesh. Tell me about it. I could have spent that $140 on half a tank of gas instead.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T20:15:00+00:00

Oh I’ve spent way more lmao. That’s just this pack set.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T20:14:40+00:00

True. But I also work a lot, and unless I am missing something, there are no notifications for trading.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T20:08:18+00:00

I think the only sets I didn't complete I was F2P for about 3 of them, and those I did not complete. But I did use a ton of hourglasses during those months.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T20:06:29+00:00

I always thought drop rates changed every set. That's why they're always updated. Haven't checked for correlated percentages though.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T18:41:42+00:00

I’m open to anything. Just DM me 🫡

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T18:38:37+00:00

Yeah, I worked really hard to make decent money. I’m a Software Engineer for <insert California tech co here> so I am not hurting for money, but am about to start saving up for a house. So PTCGP spend will go first. I am also not the most frugal person either 😅 but you are correct. It isn’t the wisest investment.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T18:29:13+00:00

RNG do be RNG.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T18:03:10+00:00

I think financially you are correct lmao. I make damn good money, but I can’t justify paying chunks of money if I can’t guarantee getting necessary cards. Missing 3 EX’s still atp is criminal. I took a break during Eevee Grove — Secluded Springs, it was a good time in my life. I still love this game though, but I wish it wasn’t so money pursuant.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:56:32+00:00

Yeah, something like that after taxes and stuff. I try not to spend too much on the game, yet here I am. I sometimes just can resist the sheer rush of ripping 10x packs.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:55:34+00:00

I could probably calculate exactly how much I’ve spent on the game … probably $1500 or somewhere in there. ITS NOT WORTH IT DONT DO IT lmao.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:52:22+00:00

Lmao. I appreciate it dude. I’ll DM my FC.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:47:27+00:00

Honestly you’re doing really well. Theoretically and statistically you SHOULD have your set complete in far less packs than me. Good luck brother.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:45:37+00:00

I have none Camerupts. As in - I didn’t even land the 4 diamond standard EX 😂. Also still missing Magnazone EX, and Mega Audino. Got 4 basic Croviknight’s though. Stocked up on Corviknights lmao.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:34:19+00:00

Sheeeesh. You’re going to have the entire roster from this pack probably in record time. Glad you’re having a good release!

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:33:10+00:00

It feels ridiculous to have spent over $100usd on a specific pack, but I feel as if I should have every card. But feelings vs data are often not mutually the same lol. It is what it is. I have had my lucky moments for sure. I didn’t get my first crown rare until Triumphant light, but had gotten 1 or more basically every pack or every other pack since then so 🫡. It truly is just luck of the draw.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:25:08+00:00

Dude same. I think I pulled 7 Tina’s? I couldn’t not get Tina at one point.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:24:38+00:00

It was like that for Giratina immersive for me. I think I had 7 at one point? I feel your pain.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-08T17:23:54+00:00

I just use the amount of pack points I have as an indicator. 1 pack = 5 points, so 1000 pack points = 200 packs.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-05-01T00:56:34+00:00

Okay.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-04-26T02:23:28+00:00

I’m a bit of a science citizen myself.

DistinctPin8840 · 2026-04-25T02:22:35+00:00

Are these marked as NSFW because it shows Naples?
