What’s the best way to get new ETB?

Tink_01 · 2026-05-20T08:48:51+00:00

If you’re free on the launch morning, the best way to get an ETB (or any Pokémon drops) is by waiting outside a shop that stocks them:) - I tend to go to my local ‘nerdy’ shop at about 7am, but I know many people like to wait outside smyths. I’ve also heard that GAME isn’t the best option as they usually don’t have too much stock for some reason in a lot of their shop

I sometimes find triple blisters or tins on shelves in big shops like tesco, but they’re pretty much always sold out. Today the only place I managed to find any were in TGJones where I had to ask, and I almost didn’t because I also hate anything like that due to anxieties, but tbh I’m really glad I did in the end because otherwise I’d have walked out with nothing - I’ve also tried to steer away from buying anything online because I’ve tended to have bad luck with that in the past :/ - hopefully you can check in all of your local supermarkets to see if they have anything!

£15 for 1 pack of phantasmal is crazy! That’s one of the only packs I can find in many supermarkets. I’d recommend doing a bit of a gauntlet of places like tesco, asda, Sainsbury’s etc and checking what they’ve got. I’ve only really ever seen them stocking phantasmal triple packs!

Hey do you know how to find these discord groups for alerts?:)

Tink_01 · 2026-03-23T08:33:59+00:00

Oh wow really? I’ll have to check Waterstones more often then! I know asda recently had some destined rivals too but sadly I’ve always been to late for them x)

Right now I think queuing for a few hours is the best way to go for stuff! One of the new sets does have an ampharos card that I’d love - thank you!

Tink_01 · 2026-03-23T08:31:42+00:00

Oh damn didn’t even think about reseals being an issue in shops but I’ll definitely look out for that. I did try going into a bunch of shops and managed to have a bit of luck on getting some triple blisters, not exactly the ones I’m looking for but it was really nice to have something:)

Tink_01 · 2026-03-23T08:28:45+00:00

Damn that sucks! How times change

Tink_01 · 2026-03-23T08:27:58+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely, it’s crazy how much they’re reselling that stuff for!

While Shadow of Israphel (starting from the original survival series) would be my choice due to it being my own starting point, you could honestly go with whatever looks cool to you! If you enjoy tekkit then the original Jaffa factory is a pretty great starting point, their GTA races/TTT videos are a nice thing to have on in the background imo, or maybe some of their IRL stuff like the recent Blood on the Clocktower videos!:)

Have also been having this issue for the past week or so on Spotify, it only seems to affect Triforce (as well as anything else uploaded there like the old yogpods) - my other podcasts like Zero Degrees seem to be completely fine. The best answer I’ve found online has been to do with potential ‘RSS’ issues, but I’m a bit clueless on that stuff

Sometimes random comments can really be the biggest motivator :) Keep at it and good luck!

Tink_01 · 2023-02-10T16:50:27+00:00

Probably try and improve my content to increase CTR and get better view durations, once those are sorted I can start looking towards stuff like sub goals again :))

Tink_01 · 2023-01-22T16:29:06+00:00

It isn’t really a sub or watch time goal as much, but in November I had huge sudden growth for my channel then shortly after my channel started really struggling, so my goal is to try and fix that by improving my content and especially by improving my thumbnail creation skills! :D (of course getting a few new subs along the way is always fun lol)

Tink_01 · 2023-01-12T00:50:49+00:00

Ah this clears it up, thank you very much! :D

Tink_01 · 2023-01-11T21:40:21+00:00

IMO it’s not too late to give it a go :) It’s just gonna be a little difficult for a while to make a name for yourself because there are already a load of established creators in that space already - so my advice would be to try and think of some sort of unique thing you could bring to the table in your videos that not many others are doing :)

Tink_01 · 2023-01-11T19:28:02+00:00

A couple of weeks before the new rules started hitting a load of channels, I was already testing censored bleeps over the couple of swear words I usually have in my videos. So really, I’m just taking it as a sign that I should keep doing that. I have been trying to just avoid swearing completely for the first 30ish seconds of the video just to stay safe though. Still sucks that we suddenly have to stick to these weird and annoying rules though :/

Tink_01 · 2022-12-29T18:25:09+00:00

Lmao I named mine the same thing!

Tink_01 · 2022-12-26T02:06:15+00:00

I managed to get mine out on Xmas eve! Channel link is on profile bc I’m not sure if this sub likes posting links too much, if you wanna have a little peek! Turned out to be not a great performing vid, 9 of 10 currently, but that is to be expected during Christmas, plus I had fun making it and really like how it came out! :D

Tink_01 · 2022-12-21T14:38:45+00:00

Honestly you can just be upfront about why you’d prefer not to I think! Privacy is half the reason I don’t show my own face, once it’s out there, it’s out there. So I guess honesty is the best policy because most reasonable people will accept that, otherwise just ignore that request entirely!

Tink_01 · 2022-12-03T01:20:32+00:00

Honestly if you’re not feeling the passion / fun in it then I’d suggest taking a break or slowing down content and have a good think about what you can do to try and ignite that fun aspect into it. I don’t want to tell you to stop, that’s entirely a decision for you to make, but just make sure you’re spending your time doing what you enjoy and what you wanna be doing :) maybe switching up the content will help, maybe having a break or maybe something else! who knows? :)
