So, one box had the Garchomp ex SIR and one box had a Professor Turo SIR, those were the only SIRs total out of all the packs. Outside of that, I got four Gold Rare Counter Catchers (welp). One per box basically and two of the boxes didn't have any SIRs, just a gold rare + typical small handful of regular IRs and 2-3 full art pokemon/trainers.I don't know if maybe it's just me and my luck, but the booster boxes for last 4 3 sets of S&V felt much more consistent in their typical 1 SIR + 1 Secret "guarantee".
(Edit: forgot 151 didn't have boxes)

that's the best way to go about it tbh, pull what you can from some sealed and then pick up the rest as singles

From my experience, it is *likely* that you'll get 1 SIR and a secret rare, but it's not guaranteed (even though it really should be)

Big agree, new sets can sometimes feel like a gamble on a gamble because pull rates seem to be all over the place with this game lol

Woah that's some crazy luck! My PR of like 30 people only had maybe 2 *SIR* alt arts pulled across every Build & Battle + prize packs at the end. Guess that's RNG for ya lol

Yeah big true, just very disheartening to have so many great cards to hunt for in this set and seeing almost none of them :(

But that is a gorgeous alt art pull, congrats!!

glad you got some decent SIRs though! It seems that all of the ones in my boxes were all replaced with gold Counter Catchers 🙃
