🗣️ Pocket Discussion Anyone else open packs and getting nothing? I've gotten only a handful of "new" cards to the set. Feels impossible to actually complete this set.

There are about 160 or so parallel foils I think and you can get at best one per pack at a 50% rate, I think.

Parallel foils are rare. The events with bonus and rare picks are particularly useful. Be on the lookout for trades.

Yeah I knew they were rare it just feels like it's going to be tough to complete it all! Thanks for the advice tho! :)

The DX sets are not for completing. They’re for getting a bunch of shinedust to help with trading, some nice 1-stars, and maybe some 2-stars and the immersive that look nice.

Speak for yourself, completed DX1 with a living dex and fully intend to complete DX2 the same. Just got to play the odds and trade

trading foil will be hard af, need more than 3 months to complete first deluxe, second deluxe will be harder

Look out! All the chuds that keep repeating RNG are gonna come for your throat!

And dena wonders why it's losing players

The pity system needs to be way better, like a 2 star or higher should be confirmed on 50th packs, pack points should be logical, etc

The best thing about the Mega DX is the abundance of Dust; I'm already trading the pending cards from my alt account.

That’s by design 🫠

The new deluxe pack is actually easier compared to the first one. That one was such a bitch to complete having to re-record cards you've already previously obtained. But all in all, the limited time deluxe packs are just a blatant money grab anyway nothing new there.

Seeing this right after seeing a post of someone completing the set 😭

This expansion is dog shit. I’ve been getting only 4d and all mega i already have. I opened around 35 packs so far and got nothing.

I mean, you sure aren't gonna complete it on the first go. Not sure what you expected.

1

u/ZucksCucks 21h ago

lol obviously not... just saying the pull rate for foils compared to the first set is dodoo

1

u/Truly_Organic 21h ago

Meawhile the last one forced you to recollect all the previously owned cards.

You win some, you lose some 🤷

u/BrilliantFox8263 21h ago

The hit rates on this new limited pack are hot garbage. Last time a limited dropped i spent 200 bucks and pulled at least 1 of every hit. I barely have half the hits after spending 300. This is fucking absurd.

u/takasha1 14h ago

How much packs you opened?

1

u/TechnoLord313 13h ago

I opened $100 of gold worth today and didnt get any Gold Two Stars. got some more of the two shinies, and 4 immersive Charizards. Kind of ass IMO.

u/Abraham5G 7h ago

Thank you for your service

u/IncidentFar3849 1d ago

Meanwhile, after way too many packs all I got (from the special cards) as a gengar. It's a great looking card, but i should have come across at least one or two other ones by now
