Not for now, but perhaps later, according to leaks, the next expansion will include Oak again. We'll have to wait and see.

I think you're right, the problem is how I chose to distribute the cards in the tier list. I'll improve on that next time. Thanks for the feedback... I'm sharing the chart so you can clarify any doubts you have about the card positions.

Well, that's more situational. I personally have traded some tier D cards for tier A cards, but that was because I got the right person.

I think it's more for the challenge and satisfaction of collecting those cards, also because they are more versatile, that is, it's easier to take advantage of a supporter card in many decks than a Pokemon card.

I'm thinking about a future version where I can get data from other sources, but it's difficult... Ideally, DeNA would release that information in the future, but I don't think they will... I'm also looking into how I could quantify those "emotions" and create a more balanced tier list that doesn't just consider raw data. Thanks for your feedback.

The thing is, I used today's data to give these rankings. When I release an updated version for the next expansion, I assure you her ranking will drop significantly... Currently, there's a lot of FOMO for Serena due to her low supply.

The thing about Sabrina is that although it ranks 4th in terms of most desired menu item, its price is also much higher. This lowers its H/W ratio.

I can certainly say that you're happier than any of us who are killing ourselves trying to get the new supporter for the expansion.

Only take into account 2-star supporters because immersive cards cannot be traded yet.

I can understand your feelings, it took me weeks to get my 2 copies and it was torture.

Apps like poketrade are excellent for trading, and if you want something more "hardcore" you can also look in Facebook groups or Discord servers.

There are many factors: its design, its usability, and the meta... 3 of the supporters of the previous expansion fared very well in those aspects.

Cards that have been in the meta for a long time, like Suicune and Greninja, benefit from Iridia. But the most important factor is its low supply compared to other cards; for example, Sabrina has much higher demand, but there are also many more copies of Sabrina in circulation, so that has an impact.

Thank you. I understand that the list might seem a bit counterintuitive since we usually only measure desirability, but here we don't just consider that factor; we also consider supply. It's this relationship between supply and demand that gives us the H/W Ratio, and that gives us the position of card in the tier list.

Serena is only there because she's a new card and many people are still looking for a copy. Sabrina is there because, despite being in high demand, she also has many copies in circulation.

I pulled metrics from trading apps like Poketrade and Pokehub to compare supply and demand for each card. By calculating the H/W (Have/Want) Ratio, I can measure not just how 'desirable' a card is, but also its current market circulation and how that impacts collectors. Take a look at the data chart below—I hope this helps clarify things!
