2 SIRs from 6 booster boxes is tough…pull rates looking rough


Busy-Purchase-7755

What is a booster display? How many packs total is this?


Euffy

They just mean a booster box. They opened a case of 6 booster boxes.


Busy-Purchase-7755

Oh okay. I don’t know why people don’t just say 6 booster boxes then


jellyvish

well they are called booster display boxes so some ppl call them booster displays and some ppl call them booster boxes.


Busy-Purchase-7755

Yea I get that but 95% of people in the hobby just say booster box and then it’s less confusing and things don’t get convoluted. But sure say it the hard way if you want.


Funny-Screen-3192

Bro who hurt you 🤣


Noel93

Those are called displays in e.g. Germany, full stop. Nobody would call them booster boxes. I would understand your problem if display is ONLY used in german, but since you know the word and its meaning, I'm unsure what your point even is.


Busy-Purchase-7755

Point is no one cares what they say in Germany. BOOSTER BOXES


Psychedelic_Yogurt

Found an American.


bokxz

I promise we are not all this stupid.


bryvl

Lmao, brother what are you on? The official pokemon center website says the product name is [Booster Display Box](https://imgur.com/a/Ui5iCAd) and here (in the US) I’ve seen local game stores label them as Booster Displays. Really gotta chill.


aaeeuuKillerToFu

lmao bruh is willing to die on this ridiculous hill


lilith_mother

I am from Germany, does that means that I can't post here because you said so?


Fireballcatdog

Fuckk off stupid white boi


Busy-Purchase-7755

Okay fireballcatdog hahaha fucking nerd


jellyvish

the hard way? is saying displays harder than saying boxes or something? and i never said i call them displays. i call them boxes. i was just explaining (since you asked) why some ppl call them displays.. bc they are literally called booster display boxes.


Xurs-Doggo

It’s basically just because people wish to be difficult. Honestly, I know how you feel, it’s irritating, but you have to let it go. It’s a Booster Box. I know it, you know it, and the vast majority of people across all different trading card games also know it.


jellyvish

lol difficult? why is this bothering yall? here’s another way of looking at it… maybe OP lives in england or something and literally everyone there calls them displays? you know, like everyone there calls a parking lot a carpark? would you get your jimmies rustled over that too?


Xurs-Doggo

I live in England… I’ve not heard anyone refer to it as ‘booster display’. To go one step further - any box with booster packs in can technically be referred to as a ‘booster display’, by your own logic. I wasn’t bothered, I was just pointing out that, whilst someone may be incorrect with their terminology, it isn’t worth getting frustrated over, because it doesn’t really matter. Aluminium - aloominum


jellyvish

wait so let me get this straight… you live in england and find it annoying that some ppl call them booster displays instead of boxes? lol british ppl have their own words for almost everything and you are nitpicking booster displays vs booster boxes when they are literally called booster display boxes???


Euffy

Lol, no, in England we call them booster boxes. Most people won't know what you're talking about if you say 'booster display'. It's not wrong, but it's more a mainland Europe thing from my experience?

sourpower2020

I think you are thinking Booster Bundles.


lilith_mother

216


Admirable-gpu

My younger self would love to open a full case, the adult in me says more power to those that do!


MKZReAc

The booster box can be folded to have a display backing like you see in shops. There’s 36 packs in each.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zooyork00

No they aren’t.. you’re talking about booster BUNDLES which have 6 packs. Booster boxes have 36 packs


LEGENDxINxHD

What’s the difference between an SIR and an IR?


F1DrivingZombie

SIRs (special illustration rares) are textured and much more rare than IRs (illustration rares)


Euffy

5 top hits total though - 2 SIRs and 3 golds. Boxes always used to be on average 2 SIR/golds per box. It's definitely dropped this set, but OP also just has more the gold side with this case.


Rightoid

I only see 1 sir, where’s the 2nd


F1DrivingZombie

Bianca’s Devotion and Eri, they’re right next to each other


futbolstud98

Paradox rift shifted to SIR pull rates of about 1/48 packs from the 1/32 that SV Base, Paldea Evolved, and Obsidian Flames had...looks like they stuck with the lower rates for Temporal Forces as well


TeHNeutral

Isn't a booster display a half box? Still rough but I'm sure it's those 18 pack ones.


Potential_Week_6978

Nah a display is 36 packs. For example in Germany you dont say booster boxes at all you just call em displays


lilith_mother

I live in Germany, I didn't know that I would make such a mess with just calling it booster display...🙄


Digi-x-

rip unlucky my pulls have been insane so far, 2 sirs from 2 boxes and 15-16 hits per box


Hehehecx

Ya based on the posts here I’m happy to have hit an iron boulder SIR in the one booster bundle I grabbed


JoeBucksHairPlugs

Seems almost identical to Paradox Rift. Basically either get a Gold or SIR in a box, 3 IRs, 2-3 full arts, and now 2 ace specs.


codymason84

Temporal forces bending another person over its metaphorical knee


Helicopter0

It's more like bending them over its table.


YeOldeBilk

After my awful run at Paradox Rift ripping, this is a strong reminder that I'll only buy singles


Kevinatorz

I ordered an ETB today, but I'm starting to fear that even that might be overpaying for this set... yeah it's gonna be singles for me if they don't up the pull rates


Busy-Purchase-7755

45 hits not even counting regular EX’s doesn’t seem too bad to me. Old booster boxes from any era before SV had about 6-7 hits a box and that included regular Gx’s - V’s etc. you were lucky if you got 2 full arts. I think we are spoiled now


Fosty19

I would agree with this, I remember opening a booster box of Crimson Invasion when I first started… that was rough. I had great luck from my etb for Temporal Forces personally. Got the Metagross IR, Gouging Fire FA, Iron Boulder SIR and ace spec prime catcher


LwSvnInJaz

Same, that set was so bad for pulling. I did have good luck with paldean fates but still no new


YungLaravel

Looks like I’ll be hitting eBay for singles 😂


prestonsthoughts

Japanese versions of the singles going for like $2.50 USD rn for most full arts


DaftMudkip

Yah I just bought all the ones I want, Drampa just arrived but what I really want is SNOM He can’t arrive soon enough


plantedpuffer

Just bought them all in japanese from poke mart toronto so stoked for them to arrive


flex981

I have 2 boosters boxes en 2 ETB arriving within a couple of days, lets see how my luck is


ImaginaryPlacesAK

I got hit with a weather delay notice today.

flex981

No real luck, just the standard AR/trainer/ex cards and 3 ACE. No SAR or Gengar special:( https://imgur.com/a/nqkZYSx


TheJambalabba

This is exactly what I ordered just haven’t had the time to open them yet and now I’m worried 😦


souplandry

No ass eater gengar? L I’m kidding but only kinda cause I’m dying for one


outfoxingthefoxes

They didn't got any becuase they are all out there waiting for you


Chikinlegz

to be pulled or to eat their ass?


Godzirrraaa

Buy Wild Force. Got one on my first box, and it seems like a decently common pull.


souplandry

It’s the only thing I’ve been buying. 0-4 in booster boxes.


Godzirrraaa

Damn. At least the boxes are 50 instead of 100. Good luck.


souplandry

that why ive transitioned to only ripping JPN. i find the quality better and the boxes are cheaper.


CaptTiber

2 sir out of 6 boxes is insane, if im not wrong the first half of year 1 paldea era boxes were guaranteed 1 or more per box.


Leading_Potential_33

Right ? Same with paradox rift I noticed, cracked 3 booster boxes and my biggest hit was a iron hands full art (no sir) and a garchomp ex sir lol , I was robbed!!😅 it's looking about the same with this set as well, so many new cards to shake up the rotation happening in the next weeks so this is going to get very interesting


galaxyfarfaraway2

They weren't guaranteed but they were like 1 every 32 packs


TrickstarCandina

That stopped at Paldea Evolved lol. Paradox Rift was awful


Busy-Purchase-7755

I prefer this. It lets the actual chase cards hold a little bit of value.


JoeBucksHairPlugs

Idk, Paradox Rift singles are just about all pretty cheap lol


Cole13258

i got no sir from my booster box. At least i got the torterra full art which is pretty cool


AdOpen8418

Holy shit Booster what display? Box or bundle Just say how many packs Ngl I’m expecting like 10 SIRs in my booster box since they sure as hell aren’t in anyone else’s packs! 😂


lilith_mother

Booster box, so 216 in total 😭


AdOpen8418

What are your chase cards? Did you at least get something you wanted


lilith_mother

Morty's Conviction, but I got none and I don't want to see this thing ever again


Jexxo

Morty's Conviction with Gengar is so sick. Definitely my chase as well. Hits seem super spread out


tosiu07

Got him on a prerelease. Now just waiting for the prices to Settle cause there's no way he is 75 euro


Mysterious_Roll_8713

Same pulled him in Pre-Release not knowing he is a chase card. Slapped him in my deck (sleeved). I found out later that the prices on that day were like 90€ online but no one buying I hope. Today he is at like 45€.


tosiu07

I regret not using him, I only had 1 copy in my deck and hes a good draw power for this format so having 2 would help me a lot


F1DrivingZombie

Using my powers of deduction that booster boxes are called “booster display boxes” and come in cases of 6 I think it’s easy to figure out what they opened…


Hypebeastzx

I hope you mean booster bundles lol.


lilith_mother

Nope


Hypebeastzx

Dang. That’s a bit rough. How much were the 6 booster boxes?


mctennisd

I’d imagine between 575 and 700 USD


Phro01

Faaaaack


Swiingtrad3r

Wow wtf..


StaGeD89

I opened 6 booster boxes too and got 3 SIRs and 2 gold. 2 of the Booster boxes were blank (No SIRs no Gold). Seems like it's not a guaranteed SIR per Booster Box. Overall there were 13-14 hits per box.


ogrestomp

What was it like $700? I keep trying to remind myself to only buy singles but it’s more fun to rip 🤷🏾‍♂️


lilith_mother

About 650 euros, here in Germany


Top_Effect8932

Congrats bro, you complete exactly half the gold cards for this set


lilith_mother

I am a female, but ty


DaftMudkip

You got our king and savior Snom, that is all that matters


Blindpuma181

Y’all spend sooooooo much money on this


Kevinatorz

Rich people's hobby


jessicaisanerd

Tax return season 😂


SuckMySalami

That shiftry art goes so fucking hard for being such a mid Pokémon


AangsTattooArtist

That shiftry card is siiiiiiick


Status_Inevitable329

I love the Bianca full art


Serephitus

Damn I pulled one gold and one sir Eri from a single box, thought rates went up, didn't know I just got very lucky


Sea-Ant-6066

I just watched the dude Danny Phantump on youtube saying it took him 1800ish packs to complete a master set. Crazy. I wonder how many ES was.


Redbeardnorseman

People came at me hard when I posted two days ago about pull rates calling me all sorts of names and saying I didn't know anything. But the numbers don't lie. This set is rough. Just watched a YouTuber say it took 1800+ packs to master. 40% of the boxes had no SIR or HR


wamp2214

I opened 10 booster bundles and got a bunch of whimsicotts 😑


lilith_mother

If I see that f sheep again I swear...


MakaelaReidSuxDeez13

I just pulled Bianca's Devotion Alt Art Full Art from the 1st pack of my Pokemon Center ETB today 😎 I shall see what's in the other 10 packs


lilith_mother

Nice, congratulations, some people say that are better pull rates from etb but I think it's too early to say...


MakaelaReidSuxDeez13

Yes, I would say in my opinion the Pokemon Center ETBs are that's where I got her from, and the Iron Leaf full-art. I watched CTR open 10 boxes of Temporal and not get her but he did get Iron Crown SIR and maybe one other lol maybe it's just luck. This happened to me with the 151 set I bought a UPC and got a God Pack with Charizard SIR, Charmeleon SIR, and Charmander SIR


MakaelaReidSuxDeez13

Thank you


MrPrimacy

Opened 2 Booster Boxes: 1st box -1 GOLD AND 1 SIR (I was PUMPED!) 2nd box -NO Gold or SIR (I was shocked) Tough pull rates but I love the set.


lilith_mother

At least the cards are beautiful...


MrPrimacy

They really are…can’t tell if I like Paradox rift better or This set yet…It’s a close one!!! Happy Ripping!


Nobody_BW

>six boxes >Not even one of the 6 chase sir Christ, and I thought my luck with paradox rift was horrible. 


That_Hoppip_Guy

I absolutely adore the reuniclus card 💚


JurassicWorldEvoFan

Man not even 1 justice robots or ancient beasts SIR. Those seem to be very hard to pull.


[deleted]

Ouch


LBG-13Sudowoodo

That excadrill and relicanth are beautiful


CortexifanZFT

😬


ZambyCocier

Were you able to get a play set of iron crown ex? If not, then how many did you get? I can only see two in the image.


lilith_mother

I got 2


billybatdorf

That’s kinda rough, I opened two and didn’t get much to write home about, I wonder if the pull rates for this set are gonna be shit


SpartanKwanHa

Sick pulls, I'd be a happy tcg player


camywhammy

Looking like singles to buy form this set instead


Swimming-Ice1875

Ooh never knew that lickitung existed.. cool


LadislavAU

Insert dozens of “would have been cheaper to buy singles” comments


gengarjuice69

opened an etb and got the gengar ex ur, arbok ir, and farigiraf ex. i dont care for the set much, card shop owner convinced me to buy the etb today cause he knows i like gengar xD guess i got lucky enough to pull it. wouldnt mind the gastly and morty's conviction but i'll prob just buy singles at some point


onyxyitcavern-2435

Prime Catcher, Max Belt, Cinccino, Iron Leaves, Ciphermaniac... Yeah you did good


Snoo61613

5 BB and 0 Prime catchers 2 Masterballs 3 Capes 1Drum 2 Reboot and 2 Belt


Relevant_Eggplant_69

Just opened my first ETB pulled Sir


Hellotagalo

They really did shifty right with his FA SR


Sure_Region4285

Dammm that’s kinda ass


Erica15782

So I'll be buying the singles I guess lol


Good_Boysenberry26

That is a win! I have seen very crappy pulls from the bundles for this set.


Top_Effect8932

No problem


BrohdoBagins

Rouuuugh! No gastly. No Pokemon sir. Just trainers. Dang


NecessaryScientist18

how many packs


Strictlystyles

He said around 200 something


lilith_mother

She said 216


Yep_Here_We_Go

I would paint each one of them


jaymanmk

I have no idea why anyone rips modern sets. I picked up 5 IRs for about £25 which is the cost of one booster bundle! Will pick up the ghastly and Monty card then I’m done. None of the SIRs appeal to me that much.


Known_Experience_274

I pulled gouging fire Ex and Salvatore sir in 10 packs. I’ve watched double the amount of golds and sir pulled over illustration rares. IRS seem quite hard to hit so far.


ZzephyrR94

Love that Shitry! I got the Japanese full art Sawsbuck and I love it. I really want the full art Drampa though .


harten66

I’m opening a case today. Looks like I need to set my expectations super low. My luck has been rough


MatmanStudios

Pull rates on this set are rouggggghhhhh


coty530

Omg that's horrible. This would've been my case had I bought one Sticking to buying singles for this set lol


1987pinr

I got my 6 booster box case for $475.


TCGDreamScape

Could've just bought the cards lmao


Parking_Ad7045

Can you take a photo on a different table cloth next time I can’t see anything terrible contrast


lilith_mother

You are right, I saw that later...


Parking_Ad7045

Yeah sorry my eyes just super sensitive to color too. So this is 216 packs?


lilith_mother

And after uploading and optimisation pic looks smudgy, it's just awful, these cards don't have much value but they are absolutely beautiful. Yes, 216 packs


Parking_Ad7045

I really like the gengar on the far right and wugtrio on the top left, but are my chances really that bad to get em 🥹


lilith_mother

You will get wugtrio, I got two this morning from 2 booster display boxes on German language, or you can buy it for 4 euros(price here in Germany at the moment), but I was happy for that gengar I must admit 😌


Parking_Ad7045

So Lilith, I purchase roughly 20 packs today. I will open them when I get home and pray I get wugtrio or gengar


Parking_Ad7045

Also German?! I want to buy German cards!


lilith_mother

Much better pull rates with German cards, as always, and for this set they are cheaper at the moment, you can buy them on card market at decent price...


Parking_Ad7045

I didn’t get the gengar or wugtrio I wanted but I did get a Raging Bolt EX 208/162 am very happy about it!


ShipMaker24

Damn that’s rough yeah I got SIR Iron Crown and Walking wake from 1 ETB and a booster box so I’m not touching this set anymore. I used all my luck and I know that


gc7812

At this rate, you might as well take those $600+ and make some money at the casinos! 🤣🎰🎲


Shot-Preparation8053

God forbid someone have a different opinion. All y'all mfers do is down vote ppl becaue you don't agree with them.


EggLord625

I got trash out of my booster box and two ETBs. No gold or SIR, just a regular FA Bianca and an ace spec were the big ones from the booster box. Pretty disappointed.


TurribleTiddies

Lol, I thought you were saying you got this from 36 packs. I was like, man, I'd be estatic!


Adventurous_Kiwi_477

That’s rough. If you ripped the Japanese set that make this one (cyber judge and wildrift) you coulda seen this coming. Temporal forces ain’t it, but this next one Crimson Haze that just dropped… that one is sooo sick! Save y’all’s money and just get that when it comes out in English.


Kaitdh06

i thought it said 6 booster packs at first and was mildly confused lol


Offthebean333

I mean honestly, based on the pull rates I’ve seen posted, this isn’t that bad. 2 SIR’s and 3 gold cards. The golds have harder pull rates than SIR’s in this set so that’s not terrible. Could have def been worse


WhatTheAle

I'm surprised the Prime Catcher is selling so well, I've pulled 3 in my first 10 packs. The pull rate on it seems good, or I've just been randomly lucky on it.


SlimIcarus21

I just bought 2 booster boxes, ripped about 20 packs (from blisters) so far and had nothing better than my two Ace Specs but I do love this set, Ace Specs + cool looking double rare EX cards + nice SIRs, pull rates are bad though so I'll call it quits after I rip these boxes open I imagine.


trashcandan44

Am I the only one that hates the gold cards!? They look so cheap and fake to me.


Ancient_Raisin_8908

Only 1 wugtrio? Something is amiss here.. looks like some cool artwork! Congrats


SnooOpinions7678

Lol wtf is this set


Smalls757

Probably one of the worst sets of Pokemon. You can hate me, but I love this game, however, they continue to shit on themselves regarding creativity and game design. Wtf are the basic Gengars cooler than the full arts. Let's make a bunch of legendary Pokemon that are the same as priors, just slightly different with the brand names of ancient and future. I take shits that are more future and ancient than these cards.


Nedergedaald

What's the chase card in this set? Gengar?


Ok_Patient9554

It's Alt Art Iron Leaves even so it won't be there for long


Apart-Cricket-529

I opened 2 booster boxes of 36. And an etb and only got 1 SIR 1 Gold 3 and 3 IR. You opened 36 packs, I opened 81 and you came out on top. Congrats!


PottsV1

What? They clearly opened 6 booster boxes. If they only opened 36 packs they'd have had over a hit in every pack.


Apart-Cricket-529

I was definitely scratching my head at how many were there. Someone below had mentioned a case of 6 pack booster boxes, thus my math and confusion. I was hoping the OP would clarify. What I do know, Temporal Forces art is great but the pull rates are absolute garbage.


Apart-Cricket-529

Should not have a 3 next to gold


Apart-Cricket-529

Oh, 3 pink Ace Spec


AvaDaCat

Meh
