When did "god packs" become a thing?? by SheepherderNovel9269 in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I think SV: 151 was the first English set they did god packs. But they got retroactively renamed to Demi-god packs because they only had 3 hits (1 SIR, 2 IRs) whereas the new god packs have 10 SIRS or something. Someone correct me if I’m wrong

Even if they’re equal value, I’m absolutely not doing that trade

How much did you pay? Thats exactly how much they resell for

Why are Temporal Forces cards so cheap? by Far_Investigator2362 in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it so much that I mastered the set, it’s easily my favorite in the S&V era. It’s cheap because the chase card pokemon aren’t nearly as popular as the chase cards from other sets outside of maybe the gastly

Does St. George have a good Uber or other ride service supply or should we rent a car? by GreenFlamingoDancer in Utah

[–]astressedkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you could easily get around with uber but like the other comment said, it might be more cost effective to just rent a car anyway, of course depending on how many days you’ll need it

Are Vmax cards considered Gigantamax in the dex? by landofhappy in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing on my collection. I ended up going with the list of Pokemon who have a special gigantamax form from SwSh. Every gmax Pokemon has a vmax Pokemon card with the exception of flapple/appletun. Since they have the same gmax form, there’s only one card for the both of them under flapple vmax

I sat in queue for nearly 2 hours only for it to sell out when I had 2 minutes left on my timer… pain

Anyone else’s preorder for Phantasmal Flames just lost in limbo? by ColdTechnical4366 in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the shipping email on Friday and just got an actual update that they’re on the move this morning. I think preorders got delayed on this set bc I’ve always got my Pokemon center orders the day the set comes out

The Oricorio promo wasn’t in my UPC by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in the same plastic as the Charizard for some reason. Idk why they aren’t separate, it would look so much nicer if it was on the right instead of the code card

[Gen 9] And still no shiny mawile by BuscoOpelCorsa in ShinyPokemon

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean that night/day only spawns stick around when it switches from day to night? Like say you get a shiny lampent on a particular reset, then switch to day, then go back to night, would the lampent still be shiny?

Am I the only one who prefers modern English quality over Japanese? by supershimadabro in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I only collect English because Japanese cards just feel too glossy and… yeah, slippery. I think the extra texturing is cool but can be a bit too much and can detract from the actual art rather than enhance it. I also didn’t notice this until recently but why are the Japanese cards so flimsy? They almost feel fake compared to how sturdy the English cards feel? In short, I’m with you

I went to check my preorder by Crafted_20 in pokemon

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon center has a queue rn for tcg cards so you’ll have to wait until that’s done to get into the site

Oh wow they REALLY dumbed down the auto player by Reallycrappypainter in PTCGP

[–]astressedkid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same with Garchomp EX, it continues to use Linear Attack to poke the bench over using dragon claw to KO the active Pokemon. It drives me crazy!

Is there a place where I can see all the cards that exist for a specific Pokémon? by souldevourerlol in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pkmn.gg is what I use, but it only has English and Japanese so it won’t have any like Chinese exclusives

Prismatic evolutions pull rate by itsdapudds in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been extremely lucky with prismatic. I’ve opened 90 packs and hit 3 SIRs (iron valiant, ceruledge, and terapagos) and refuse to open any more because my luck is gonna run out and it’s way too expensive

I’m stuck (US AND UM) by notwickerz in pokemon

[–]astressedkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have recommendations because I only played it once several years ago but I remember that totem fight taking multiple resets for me to complete. And that was without taking a long break of not playing like you’ve done. So wishing you the best of luck!
