Collecting The English Booster Box "Pull Rates" Thread

darkpulse24 said:
Some pretty sweet pulls with Phantom Forces going on. It's always a good sign to see more than 3 EX cards pulled. It's sort of cool that the full art metal Dialga-EX has a way lower pull rate than the other secret rares (from what I've heard). It makes opening packs more exciting and suspenseful. I'm buying a box either this weekend or next week.

Just to make sure, are Head Ringer and Jamming net classified as holo rares, or are they rarer than that? Is anybody getting more than 1 of each in their boxes? Would like to get 1 of each in my box. More than that would be awesome.

They are classified as Holo Rares, yes.

And that mean you can pull 1 of each, or if you get lucky up to 4-5 :D with RH
 
I also got my box on Monday. I pulled:


1 M Gengar EX
1 M Manectric EX
1 Manectric EX
2 Aegislash EX
1 FA Malamar EX
1 FA Florges EX
1 FA Xerosic
1 Jamming Net

I have had terrible luck with the Elite Trainer Boxes FYI. I love the storage but I'm not sure I'll be buying too many more of these.

What about the holos? How many Holos did you get? Also, as a side question because I'm curious, how many did you pull of the following cards: Bronzong, Heliolisk, Hydreigon, Goodra, Gourgeist.

Darn, I didn't really keep track of the holos. I think I'm getting another box tomorrow and I'll keep better record. I have more Bronzong than I can count from various packs and the booster box, so those have been extremely common. I think I pulled one Heliolisk, many Hydreigon (3 or more), a couple Goodra, and 1 Gourgeist from the box with another couple from random packs. Hope this is helpful.
 
Got my box of Phantom Forces delivered today. Didn't get many cards I wanted, but I think I got a decent box nonetheless:
1x Mega Gengar EX (35/119)
1x Mega Manetric EX (24/119)
1x Xerosic Full-Art (119/119)
1x Dialga EX (62/119)
1x Jamming Net (98/119)

4x RH Trainer cards (Trick Coin, Target Whistle, Tierno, Dimension Valley)
7x Holo Rares (Pyroar, Regigigas, Goodra, Heliolisk, Slurpuff, Diancie, Feraligatr)
10x RH Rares (Spiritomb, Heatran, Talonflame, Bronzong, Slurpuff, Gourgeist, Yanmega, Mightyena, Gigalith, Leavanny)
8x RH Uncommons (Sliggoo, Swadloon, Zweilous, Girafarig, Wobbuffet, Fearow, Fletchinder, Kingler)
14x RH Commons (Litwick, Krabby, Munna, Bunnelby, Totodile, Sewaddle, Karrablast, Roggenrola, Venonat, Yanma, Chansey, Murkrow, Litleo, Purrloin)

Got these in the box too, which I think are kinda notable:
3x DCE
1x Mystery Energy
5x Lysandre's Trump Card
3x Dimension Valley

No Gengar EX full-art or Lysandre's Trump Card full-art, but I have those on the way as singles so at least I'll have them soon! ^_^
 
Manectric EX FA
Gengar EX
Aegislash EX
Dialga EX
Malamar EX
Seven holos (Pyroar, Goodra, Feraligatr, Gourgeist, Chandelure, Jamming Net, Regigigas)

I've had worse boxes but all of the regular EX cards were miscut which SUCKS.
 
I got a PF Box the other day and here are my pulls:

M Manectric EX 24
M Gengar EX 35
Aegislash EX 65
FA Xerosic 119
SR M Manectric 120/119

Holo Rare (6):
Ferligatr 17
Gourgeist 45
Slurpuff 69 (one RH as well)
Diancie 71
Goodra 77
Regigigas 86
 
From my phantom forces box:

Gengar EX
Gengar EX Full Art
Manectric EX
Mega Manectric EX
Florges EX
Florges EX Full Art

Besides those EX's I got at least one of almost every card besides:

The other full arts and secret rares
Regigigas
Feraligatr
Goodra
Chandelure
Malamar EX
Dialga EX
Aegislash EX


So overall very good, besides some full arts and secret rares I'm only missing 7 cards
 
I opened one booster box, here was it. Overall I don't think it was great, although someone else can judge that.

Notables/ Holos:
Gengar EX FA (114/119)
M Gengar EX (35/119)
Jamming Net (98/119)
Florges EX (67/119)
Malamar EX (58/119)
Pyroar (12/119)
Heliolisk (30/119)
Chandelure (43/119)
Gourgeist (45/119)
Gigalith (50/119)
Hydreigon (74/119)
Goodra (77/119)

btw, do people tend to weigh booster boxes sealed as a whole? or is it just packs.
 
3 regular EX cards and a full art is not bad. There are boxes out there that can have fewer EX cards and no full arts.

Weighing booster boxes is not really common. It's weighing packs that is a problem because holo cards weigh slightly more than regular cards, but with booster boxes there's 36 packs at once and pretty much every booster box comes with 12 "premium" cards i.e. holo, EX, full art and/or secret rare.
 
I didn't have enough for two boxes so I bought one box and 11 single booster packs.

Out of 11 single booster packs:

Gengar EX (reg)
Chandelure Holo
Slurpuff Holo
Pyroar Holo

Out of the booster box:

Manectric EX (reg)
Florges EX (reg)
Dialga EX (reg)
Jamming Net
Head Ringer
Goodra Holo
Regigigas Holo
Chandelure Holo
Gourgeist Holo
Gigalith Holo
Feraligatr Holo
Heliolisk Holo

No Megas, no FAs. Don't know what the person above is complaining about -.- Ehh, mine was not bad.
 
My box of Phantom Forces arrived today. I'd say it was a really good box.

M Gengar EX SR
Xerosic FA
Lysandre's Trump Card FA
Dialga EX
Aegislash EX
Malamar EX
Manectric EX
5 holos

I also managed to get almost 3 of every playable trainer in the set.

Glad I didn't too badly when it comes to pulls :p plan on trying to break even on the box, though I will most likely take a loss. I can use some of the cards I pulled though which I needed so its not too bad :p

Yeah I wasn't too sure about people weighing boosters, personally I will probably never order single boosters online due to this problem, but booster boxes were alot cheaper online than what I would pay at my local store so I had to get it online if I wanted one, worrying about someone weighing the box was a bit lame honestly. Hopefully its not really done :p
 
Got a box of Phantom Forces along with an Elite Trainer Box and 11 packs for my birthday. The 11 packs were purchased from different stores, with 9 from 1 store, and 2 from the other.

Box Pulls
Gengar EX Full Art
Dialga EX
Florges EX
Malamar EX
Head Ringer
Chandelure
RH Chandelure
Feraligatr
RH Feraligatr
Goodra
Regigigas
RH Regigas
Pyroar
RH Pyroar

From the box Elite Trainer Box I got Full Art Florges, and Jamming Net. From the 11 packs, pulled 2 Regigigas, and a Heatran. It's like the reverse holos of the foil cards took away from potential megas. Not as bad as what some people are pulling, but not worth the $170 ish I paid either. I also pulled awful from my Furious Fist box in August, best card was a Full Art Fossil Researcher. As much as I want to get multiple boxes of the next set since RS was what got me into Pokemon, the fact that I am losing anywhere from $40-$60 each time I buy more then a few packs is discouraging me.

I know that feel, maybe getting the ETBs is better than the boxes.
 
ETB's are not better than boxes. Didn't get any FA's or EX's in mine. Considering how expensive boxes and stuff are I find it's better to buy the cards individually. It might be almost, or perhaps a bit more, expensive but at least you know what you're getting. I have to admit though if I had the money to use for boxes it'd be nice to do every now and again, I do miss that kind of thrill.
