All 176 “Black Bolt” and “White Flare” Secret Rares and Pull Rates Revealed!

It’s definitely not going to be worth it at all to open japanese packs with these normal pull rates of 3-4 AR +1 master ball (which btw don’t even feel like actual hits since most chase pokemon are legendaries in this set and they don’t have a non ex card so they can’t be reverse holos) +1 SR or above. Just too many cards, it’s way cheaper to just wait a couple months and then buy singles unless you somehow manage to get boxes for ~70 bucks (which is still almost double the msrp) instead of the ~140 most stores are charging now.
For english though, we really don’t know. Not once in history has english had better pull rates than japanese. But the stolen packs had really good pull rates although being quite a small sample. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Crown Zenith art rares and special art rares are around the same, any SAR is also usually more common in english, typically being around 6-7 boxes for each in japanese- although packs are obviously far more expensive in english

I believe the Karrablast IR is Komiya, but I can't read the illus credit so I'm not sure

this is the reason why we need the HD quality of those cards, not coming from a stream with hideous fingers and text, so that we can properly credit and appreciate the artwork

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.

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.

not really, bruh. the God packs in English TCG are always presetted.
 
I am so happy there is at least one Arita, and it’s an excellent Pokémon, too. Someone please tell me if there’s another. I haven’t seen anything else besides the Excadrill yet and I usually can identify his artwork at a glance.

Trying to obtain every Arita card released in English in the highest rarity possible. It’s quite the project, but it’s really fun! His art brings me great joy and I have been discovering other artists as well.

To be fair, Zorua also has 3 Art Rares, the one in Shrouded Fable, Journey Together, and now White Flare

Yeah my bad I forgot about Zorua.
But still,Zorua is a pretty popular Pokémon,and Pikachu is literally the Pokémon mascot.
But Crustle?I wonder how many people remember him.
