Clarification of what is allowed:

You can
- ask how often a card occurs.
- post what you got from the opening of a box.


You can not
- post what you pulled from less than a box.
- post box opening videos


Hey guys, just opened a box of dragon blast and dragon blade, and I managed to have a combined 7 boosters left over after i pulled my 20 holo/EX cards from the 2 boxes.
Is it possible there could be anything good in my remaining 7 packs? or should I just keep them for collective purposes?

You get 2 EXes per box (so 1/10), and 1 FA EX every 2 boxes (1/40).

How many EXs are in every Japanese Booster Box (Both FA and normal)? Thanks!

The same pull rate I posted above for BW5 is the same for all Japanese BW sets that have EXes (BW3-5).

So, you'll get at least 2 EXes, possibly 3 if you get an FA in the box as well.

The third EX does not necessarily have to be a full art. There are boxes with 3 standard EXs

I've mentioned this here before, but I'm a big fan of the Japanese ratio system. You don't end up with millions of extra commons, the uncommons really do feel uncommon, and you still pull a rare approximately every other pack, whether it's a holo or a UR of some sort. Less cards overall, but the quality is higher, too.

Sadly, I don't really think the American/Western market would really support that. Too much of the market is kids and parents buying for kids. It would work if the Pokémon TCG was marketed towards an older audience.

Woops wrong thread.

I completely agree about the pull rates on JPN cards though. They should change English cards to be like that. :D

I really don't like the Japanese system. I'd rather have a non-holo rare than no rare at all.

Our non holo rares are their uncommons. Remember how high chandelure was when it was cities? Yeah, in Japan, it was an uncommon. not to mention catchers come in theme decks with reshiram ex or zekrom ex.

What's the pull rate for a shiny in a Japanese box?

It´s been 1 in 5 boxes for all URs (Pikachu, Meowth and Shiny) in the Japanese BW sets so far.

Wow that's the first of that kind that I know of everyone always gets 3 EX's unless you get a Full art where you sometimes only get 1 ex 1 full art.

Isn't that a Japanese booster box? You get 1 full art per 2 boxes or something for those.
