Stellar Crown feels like a return to form Pokémon card gameafter quite a few sets with disappointing draw rates – although this one is an incredibly small set with far fewer cards to collect. Now, with the next set of Sparks released, it’s a great time to see the Stellar Crown deck getting the most love.

things start to get weird Pokémon card game In January 2024, there is Parde’s fate. This particular set contains a ridiculous 88 baby filaments, and Pull rate feels greatthe huge cards make it completely impossible to collect. Next up are Spacetime Force and Twilight Masquerade, both sets of card numbers and draw rates are almost identical, with both having a 1 in 5 chance of getting a Secret Rare or better card. (Even the bland front card only appears in one out of every six packs!) This seems to be the new norm though Pokémon card game In the era of scarlet and violet (which looks set to continue with a surge in November), this is It’s still hard not to recapture the joy of attractions like The Crownand wishing for better.

So when August’s “special” is set, it’s even more tiring A shrouded fable that then confuses everyone By playing with the lowest number of cards since desultory Pokémon Go Set in 2022, and Making good people nightmarishly hard to find. Boy, does everyone get a lot of the same volume.

Thus comes September’s crown of excellence, which sits in a dimensional sweet spot, although the draw rate still sits among the sultry champions at a rich 20%. A Goldilocks suit, if you will. With a total of 175 cards instead of the 220+ that has become the norm (note that Surging Sparks has an insane 252 and a dizzying 191 of them before the secret rares kick in), it feels manageable and playable. The collection is, best of all, filled with absolutely gorgeous cards.

These are the cards that get the highest prices, both for the dollar price and because they are so beautiful. (All prices are correct at the time of writing, but can obviously change rapidly.)
