today The Pokémon Company Released TCG’s latest special set “Shrouded Fable”. it introduces pokemon scarlet and PurpleThe strangest monster, Pecharunt from Zone Zero, he and cyan maskThe Loyal Trio: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. If you haven’t played it, it’s definitely a bunch of crap. Great DLC for the latest games. So let it be known that they are also very beautiful.
Since its emergence, new TCG sets scarlet and purple, putting in so many stunningly beautiful pieces of art has the strange effect of slightly detracting from their collectibility. Which is better! This means it will be cheaper for those who want to complete a deck, collection, or binder to purchase these cards, leaving less incentive for dirty scalpers trying to copy the former. Mysterious Fables – so-called “special sets” (which mostly means you can’t buy them in individual packs) – are once again packed with gorgeous cards, but with one rather peculiar detail, they make up 20% of the total number of cards one third.
With only 99 cards in total, this is the smallest set TPCi has released since 2022 Pokemon GO cross. Compared with the previous special series “January’s Fate of Paladin”, the number of cards available for collection is 146 fewer.
However, based on what I’ll admit is a very small sample size (Pokémon Company International sent us a total of 20 packs in various collection boxes and an elite training box), the pull rate isn’t great at all. From all the bags, I took out a total of three Special art card. Beyond that, there are three more basic front cards (two of which are identical), an Ace Spec, and three Holographic Power cards, reminiscent of the cards found in Crown Zenith. But given what we know about how common these cards are, if my sample is representative, it means those chasing any of the 35 excellent special art cards are going to have a tough time.
This has a weird effect, because if a third of all possible cards are as rare as Elephant Wings, and 10 of the remaining 64 cards are also of a rarer type, then you’ll be looking at it over and over again to half of a very small number of cards, over and over again. After opening 20 packs, we averaged four of each common card, three of which looked ridiculous seven Second-rate. This results in the bags quickly feeling almost identical.
However, there are yes This is a benefit for those who are building decks. Mystical Fables, for example, has seen a resurgence of the mighty Jindra since the glorious full-frame Jindra of Starlight was taken out of rotation this past April. This ruined one of my favorite decks, but the new Kingdra ex brings an improved version of its extremely powerful stacking attack, and the six Seadra and three Horsea I pulled meant I could start building a new one right away Version.
Starting today, you can purchase Mystical Fables in an adorable four-pack of Kingambit boxes (the Kingambit art is awesome), a three-pack in a blister pack with Pecharunt cards, one of five different two-pack jars, or Two pieces in blister pack with Pecharunt card. (They’re trying to push that hateful monster so hard! We’ve asked TPCi for more details.
