Would love to see you do pack bingo! Each square is something like “pull *specific card*”, “pull a 2 gold star”, and “pull 10 grass types”. Maybe some intricate ones so you need to pay attention to the art, like “card with another pokemon in it”. If you can’t complete bingo in X amount of packs, you have a punishment/top comment picks!
You’re definitely right about the pull rates. I haven’t gotten anything for weeks and was feeling bummed about it and a friend randomly brought it up the other day too. Right around the time of the arcanine event is when pull rates got worse.
@ Could be a coincidence but everyone I see has said the same thing. I also won’t pretend to understand the laws of it but I’m sure there’s loopholes anyway. Especially for those based in the US.
@kylesisk7348 I've got a background in psychology, my guess would be that people have most of the cards they want now, compared to when we first started playing we are getting a lot less subjective 'hits' because there are far fewer cards we would consider hits now, and that makes everything feel a lot less rewarding. But idk, it is also possible that the game is doing something sneaky, it wouldn't be the first time a big company has done something like that to maximise profit 🤑
There are loopholes and the odds are not fully as they seem, I'm sure. This is why the game is not available in the Netherlands and Belgium because of laws that state odds need to be clear and if odds were actually what they seem, why is the game banned in these countries?
@mr.gameandwatchog-allround8838 I believe that is incorrect, both countries have banned loot box mechanics regardless of whether the odds are published or not. It is the mechanic itself that has been outlawed, with governments in both countries claiming such mechanics are addictive and basically constitute gambling. Honestly, I have to agree with them though I'm glad my country hasn't gone that far, it seems very reasonable to restrict these things to 18+ though.
as a fellow scientist myself, you must do at least 3 trials for an accurate experiment, therefore do 3 trials for each pack and average it out! love the vids btw
As a 1 pack only opener ( i don't pay except this one time for the premium thingy) i also been feeling like the pull rates have gone drastically down. I haven't had a 2 start hit or 3 in which feels like over a week or 2 now. I think you are onto something Pokemyth Detective Jon
We really hyped about full art ditto with 10k cards?... with 3k cards I have completed dex with most cards acquired... maybe tone down the extra a little. The Xtra excitement and all the yelling is alot. I want to like your kids but that side of things makes it hard to do so. Not everything is unicorns and rainbows. After spending ding a fiar bit the freebies don't give jack all. Can we talk about that?
@@aarond6925 Yo! I can see you might be new to my channel or new to me...This is how I am, can't change it sadly. I know its a shocker after almost 10k cards I still will get stoked about a full art ditto, but that art is still insane. I could care less if you like my kids, and also I am obviously aware that "Not everything is unicorns and rainbows" but for some people to have that good energy for a 30 minute video, can really turn their day around. Come watch my streams where its nothing but good vibes for 4-8 hours. I would be exhausted if this was an act lol.
The specific two star is harder to hit than a immersive animated card. I'll take the Arcanine Ex Full Art over that Pika animated anyday. So clean sweep for me on the 10 packers.
Maybe this was immediately obvious to everyone else, but I just realized that the little chime that plays when you can open a pack is the last three notes of the tune that plays when you've healed your Pokémon in the games. I love all the little details they've packed into this game!
11:36 dude the kids loving Pokémon as much as we did brings a tear to my eye. It’s so awesome that this franchise is so impactful that it can bring joy to totally different generations of children and connect us to each other
they 100% lowered the rates. they realised they can pump ridiculous money regardless so they wanna drag out the collection grind so you have to spend more. Used to be 3-4 hits from 10 packs and now its 1-3 but rarely 3.
Some of the best packs for YOU to open would be anything sword/shield or newer (since then they have added a TON of fullart cards wich are always fun Even if not the most valuable)
I used to watch all of Jon’s rocket league content and then I started Pokémon tcg recently and finding out he’s been dropping these videos makes me so happy
I totally agree on them changing the hits like i rmb at the start for the first 2 weeks i was always getting hits every like 5 packs open? Now i open like close to 10-15 packs to get 1 full art if im lucky or jst a normal ex. When u think abt it, it does makes sense for them to change it as they would want more players to cash to open 10 packs rather than get hits from the f2p 2 packs a day. Even if its just buying the premium pass u get 2 extra packs so i think its a legitimate reason they did what they did as overall they do want to profit money out of the game
Ik this vid is 8 days old by the time I’m commenting this but if you see the notification, you should open crown zenith irl. It’s a fun set I’m trying to complete and would love to see u open it
20:00 that’s exactly the reason why trade can never be that way in games. People would abuse the system by making multiple accounts and trading their hits over to their main for like a growlithe
hello, jon, for me i watch your videos every day at the hospital, it really helps me get trough these hard times, so thanks for your great content and sense of humour. youre doing amazing job. love from france !
When trading comes out you should make a video looking for a specific card in x Pokémon packs and if you don’t you must trade every ex or star card you get in that video to fans.
personally I think the scarlet violet base set is a great one to open for the real cards. but you really cant go wrong with any of the sets personally. I love opening them all, and no matter what any pull is so fun !
Watching you open packs makes me want to open more packs, but I’m free to play so it helps my cravings 😂 thank you! I really want to catch one of your streams, I watch a lot of twitch.
Buy Korean eevee heroes they are afforedble and the cards looks amazing. Also the Korean one is cheaper than the japanese but have álmost the same price on the cards you get. Also eevee heroes is the cheaper version of evolving skies. I know how to speak in Korean so I can be with you translating the names. I am from Sweden and I love your videos
I usally see your videos at 6 in the morning because you release the videos in the middle of the night Swedish time but waking up wathching your videos is the best
Amazing vid, and at times, it does feel like the rates are lower than when it launched, but that could have been due to opening fewer packs now vs. then.
Been loving the content. Watching you open packs and spend money has helped me not too. Scratching the itch one way or another. And think your right about the frequency of good hits. Finished up my last round of poke gold with no new cards. You only got one that i needed though. The 2 star pika at the end. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep watching.
Heyo! Life has been good, getting ready for finals week starting on Monday, trying to study for all 4 of my finals @_@. I was watching this video as a study break, love the content and everything you do. In terms of physical pack openings I would suggest the sword & shield line for their rates, but in general I think any pack is fine if you aren't looking into the rates much.
I just found out that when u open cards and found a pack that has bent on the upper corner there's a high chance that there are rare cards there, so i think opening 1 by 1 is better...
Bro I don't need the Mythémon guy I already open only 2 packs a day getting hits left and right (edit: It's so chill to watch you on my desktop while eating)
Hello Jon, I'm from Indonesia, right now I'm watching at Indonesia 👋🏻 7:30 am right now, hope u and ur family stay healthy 😁 Been following u since u opening first Pokemon Pack✨✨✨
Try this deck.( made by me ) 2 mewtwo Ex 2 pigey 2 pigeoto 2 pigeot 1 kagaskhan ( you can add one more for more safety ) 2 potion 2 prof 2 X speed 2 pokeball 1 geovani 1 red card. Use pigeot as a sabrina
Just did it with you. Pikachu packs are juiced! all the other packs actually had a somewhat similar outcome to yours. Aside from the immersive arts lol

jon can 1v1 someone in bingo and loser donates $100 to winners choice charity
So cool you posted this, we have been working on a community bingo game that a rough version should be out this week! So expect something like this
Got a full art Ditto and Vaporeon in my matched mewtwo pack! Haha
Open 100 packs on 5 subscribers accounts
lol
Yes I agree 😅
I volunteer with my account.
We make this top comment guys
I volunteer as well!

Honestly unlikely. They are required by gambling laws to publish hit rates and maintain those rates as published.

151k subscribers maybe for 151 booster packs??

I'm doing okay atm, no job but I have a roof over my head. But better then most in my position. These videos are a bit of an escape, much love Jon!
Pokemon Pocket going crazy be December 16th already I want Johto

JON AT 2:40 WHEN YOU SAID TO OPEN THE SAME PACK, I DID AND GOT THE GOLD PIKACHU 🤣
I got the full art dragonite lol
I wish you recorded it hahaha
7:49 it does feel like that is the case, but it's gotta be psychological
My 10 pack tonight after watching this video had my first crown rare, and my first god pack! Your videos keep blessing my pulls!
dang
what did u get
Full art Blastoise, Full art Misty, Rainbow Zapdos, Full art Snorlax and Full art Diglett. Not amazing, but not bad.
@@MichaelClark-g9c so where is the crown rare in that pack?
@@Taiwainui-qw3xbit was in a seperate pack from the 10

You should open crown zenith packs, they have the highest hit rate and have beautiful artworks. This would be a great video for the community!!
9:50 10/10 for the editor
10 pack sweeped it for me. And the victory lap 10 pack proved it with the Pika Ex Full Art. 2 stars are hard to hit man.
I got mewtwo ex and charizard ex my first day playing pokemon tcg
Your energy is phenomenal. When i watch im at work, home, bed, literally anywhere

i got a full art weezing not too shabby
My 1 year old son and I watch these every morning Jon! He loves your energy while eating his breakfast.
lets make him dress up as a french gardevoir
21:16 anything from the scarlet violet series of cards
I haven’t got anything good in the past month tbh
I watched someone open half a case of Terrestrial festival yesterday. Sets juiced
You're right Jon, my whole life changed because of this experiment
John I open at the same time as you and got a god pack and I have it recorded
They definitely lowered pull rates, anyone else agree?
Yea it’s Sunday for me atm, I’m aussie I LOVE your videos, I wake up every morning to watch them 😊
When trading comes out you should make a video looking for a specific card in x Pokémon packs and if you don’t you must trade every ex or star card you get in that video to fans.
When I matched you on the pack opening, I got the normal Mewtu I needed for my Pokédex, so even though that’s not a hit, it made me happy! Thanks! :D
Open packs, then fight with those cards part 2, but this time, open 30 packs
personally I think the scarlet violet base set is a great one to open for the real cards. but you really cant go wrong with any of the sets personally. I love opening them all, and no matter what any pull is so fun !
if your free to play or a low spender opening 1 pack at a time is a must or your wasting materials
Watching you open packs makes me want to open more packs, but I’m free to play so it helps my cravings 😂 thank you! I really want to catch one of your streams, I watch a lot of twitch.
The myth is easily debunked when you realized that they have to legally disclose rates
first time watching you, liked and subscribed. great energy and you got insane pulls. keep it up brother
My theory is packs trade off days for good hits. Pikachu one day, Charizard a different day, etc. A particular pack gets a better hit ratio that day
Jon please do this again with 20 packs
How do we enter the giveaway?
Love your content Jon! Very family friendly!
Open 1 got Gengar EX, is it good?
Buy Korean eevee heroes they are afforedble and the cards looks amazing. Also the Korean one is cheaper than the japanese but have álmost the same price on the cards you get. Also eevee heroes is the cheaper version of evolving skies. I know how to speak in Korean so I can be with you translating the names. I am from Sweden and I love your videos
You should battle a friend but you build each other's decks keep up the content love it❤
Jon a good Pokémon box for real cards would be stellar crown
I usally see your videos at 6 in the morning because you release the videos in the middle of the night Swedish time but waking up wathching your videos is the best
mans luck in half an hour is better than my luck ever since last month
I got normal gengar ex when you told me to open it
Yk its a great day When Jon posts
i did agree with the pull rates until i opened a pack at the same time as you and finally got the animated charizard hell yeah
JOOON! I opened the pack when you told us to and I got crown Pika!!! Now I'll always save a pack till I see one of your videos
OMG I love the fact you are opening Pokemon Pocket packs! I'll be watching these for sure!!!
I find myself having the same problem getting pulls anymore. I think they tweak the odds of pulling anything based on how complete your collection is.
Normally i watch it while doing cardio at the gym
Amazing vid, and at times, it does feel like the rates are lower than when it launched, but that could have been due to opening fewer packs now vs. then.
That's why I'm always saving clocks to open ×10 😂😂
The new Eevee based Japanese set is a good one to open, good hit rates and some valuable cards
Usually watching these on my iPad while eating or doing dishes. Keep up the great vids!
so short answer, it's fully random as everything else on this game
Hey Jon! Love all the great content! I also feel like the hit rates have decreased drastically recently... I'm 2 cards away from getting my Mew card!
Love these episodes and the energy u bring to all ur videos man keep it up❤
I got a crowned Charizard doing single pack so I can say it doesn't really matter whether you open 10s or singles
I went to open that Pika pack, and got the full art Snorlax in a single - Great job, thanks man!

Crown zenith is the most fun opening. So many hits
Do this test every two weeks to increase the sample size

I was watching this video as a study break, love the content and everything you do. In terms of physical pack openings I would suggest the sword & shield line for their rates, but in general I think any pack is fine if you aren't looking into the rates much.
Very scientific, as Jon has acquired his PhD in Pokénomics!
I do have that degree I swear
Open ten packs and whatever cards you get in that pack use them to win a battle 😂
Let's make Jon open packs with Phatnomace in a battle and loser gives away money to their community
I usually watch these videos when doing treadmill, so you are helping me workout a bit✌️
Test if it's better rates if you don't look instead of looking, love your vids
I OPENED THE MEWTEO PACK AT THE SAME TIME AND I GOT 3 NEW CARDS INCLUDING A FULL ART PORYGON! THANK YOU JON!! 🎉🎉
Didn't know you could see hits in that split second that the pack is opened. Mind blown 🤯
u can only see it if its not the last card :)
love seeing you open packs !!!
I’m on the train to work. Makes my morning!
I just found out that when u open cards and found a pack that has bent on the upper corner there's a high chance that there are rare cards there, so i think opening 1 by 1 is better...
Twitter is dead, Bluesky took over.. they’re the former twitter heads
Not you calling me out for eating sitting on my couch watching you on my iPad at 12:30 am
I was so shocked. I got to level 20 and opened a random pack and pulled Golden Crown Mewtwo and a Full Art Gloom
Bro I don't need the Mythémon guy I already open only 2 packs a day getting hits left and right (edit: It's so chill to watch you on my desktop while eating)
For free to play people 1 pack is 12 hour glasses and 10 packs i believe is 112. So you would save a few hour glasses😊😊 GREAT DAY TO EVERYONE!
Just open any physical pack, i dont know any and if you dont know any, its basicly the same fun for all of us.... as you said, money doesnt matter!!!
I got Full Art Mewtwo EX 2 Gold star & Full Art Pidgeot. Best pull yet! Thank you Jon!

Day one of asking for Jon to play Pokémon and if he whites out he opens ten packs also if he loses a Pokémon he opens one pack
Sitting at my desk in the afternoon eating a Reese's Peanut Butter Tree enjoying the video and wishing Jon would do some mini games videos.
You should do a tier list of either all the cards in genetic apex or do like a top ten of your favorites!!
Thanks for all the fun content!
