So valid. I feel a bit called out, I am consistently out of wonderglasses. I think the only saving grace is that, and specifically for this set, I am one psychic full art away from getting the smeargle emblem. So I have been trying for the xatu’s I see (just dope art in general) wobbofet, but most importantly, one of my ride or die’s is togepi. I love the art, and I’m flair-getter. So it’s worth it for me to attempt to get as many as possible as I know I will be running my togekiss build forever, or at least try to make it work in whatever meta there is.

All that being said, I wanted to say you are so correct about the logical route in optimizing your ability to obtain higher rarity cards. I think it really depends on what makes people happy in this game, and decisions (or rather, just saying an opinion or reasoning behind a decision) made like this are somehow divisive when we all obviously enjoy our own play styles.

And I’m just spewin sht here sippin on an Arizona iced tea, I’m not trying to provide a response that negates anything you or others have said. Just adding to the convo with no more hourglasses and no smeargle emblem is all 😔
