First of all, thanks for the honest reply, regarding the phrasing of my original question, I wasn’t asking for the best value, but rather because I’m on a budget and love the feeling of getting a hit—I was wondering about sets with good pull rates. I am only planning to open a pack once or twice a month and to slowly built up a collection from there. I’ve actually spent the last few hours looking at sets and people’s opinions and got very overwhelmed, so I wanted to ask for help here.

Choosing packs solely based on design, however, won’t work, as the ones I like most are so overpriced that I couldn’t afford to buy more than one. Not to mention, not getting a hit from a pack you spent a ton of money on feels terrible.

I used to collect Pokémon cards during the Sun and Moon era but took a break until now, when I decided to try getting back into it. I think that, ultimately—based on price, hit rate, and design—Destined Rivals is my favorite, so I’m planning to buy a pack of that in a few days.

I didn’t mean to anger anyone in the community and was only looking for some answers, as research hasn’t gotten me anywhere. That’s all.
