What are the guarantees for the 30 pack JP booster boxes for this set, since it's a specialty set

 

[Exo]

i have no words

 

[Noficus]

Ok, i have two thoughts about this.

1. It’s nice that they actually made a IR or SIR from each Unovan Pokemon. Some are quite boring, but the Hydreigon/Genesect/Bouffalant is gorgeous.

2. This is gonna be scalpep more than ever.

THERE SHE IS... THERE'S the Hilda SAR that I called from the moment she was revealed for the main set! Mark my words, she's gonna be priced at $1,000+ alongside the N's Plot SAR on release day...

EDIT: Just noticed that the Hilda SAR is done by NAOKI SAITO... oh my good lord, this is gonna be BAD for the market...
EDIT #2: ISTG, did Hilda just cause the whole site to crash all by herself?!?

AR at minimum per pack, likely one SAR per box but we can't tell yet

asako ito audino is one of the greatest cards ever printed

Hmm, that's kind of neat.

The one thing I'm glad to see is that the etchings on the Poké/Master Ball pattern holos are gone. I'll admit that they were interesting but part of me suspects that they're the reason why manufacturing Prismatic Evolutions products is so slow.

Expect that in the English set of it, the closest we got to a God Pack is the full evo line of Serperior and Hydreigon, or any evo line, in particular. I used 151 as a reference here. But then again, knowing the state of the TCG community rn, this is becoming a myth.

Using 151 is kind of flawed considering that the English version only got "demigod" packs (which are basically what you described) whilst Japan had proper God Packs with two Illustrator Rare-and-up lines. On the other end of the coin, Terastal Festival kind introduced Japan to demigod packs while Prismatic Evolutions introduced us to proper God Packs and altered the pulls that demigod packs can have.

Oh man, that Druddigon looks amazing. For a mostly forgotten Pokemon they went all out on that

 

[HammockBoy]

So it’s pretty clear that we are getting the black/white rare cards in lieu of the hyper rare gold cards.. which is fine.

 

[Maggswell]

That would be for the regular packs, wouldn't it? The question was for the 30 card packs

 

[Devinmon]

Yea but was kinda bummed out on the hilda…

Suspect it’s going to be like a Lisia appeal situation with it being worth more in JP?
