Insight: Went in with my bro, got 6 booster boxes, 2 ETBs and probably 20 or so singles at this point. First 3 booster boxes we pulled 1 Pikachu from each (all different but got the grand daddy). First ETB I got the final Pikachu. Since then it's been ROUGH! We honestly thought we had the odds of pulling 1 Pikachu from each box but now, 3 booster boxes later and not a single Pikachu and nothing from all the singles. I think we are tapped out, but need 20 or so cards to complete the set.
6 Double rare per BB 2 Ace spec per BB 2-3 Ultra Rare per BB 3 Illustration Rare per BB 1 SIR per 2 BB 1 Hyper Rare per 4 BB Our sleeved cases gave exact same numbers.
Were they random? Did you guys pay attention to slot vs hit/no hit? Remember the booster boxes that you could pull the hits from once you know where the first hit is? Can it be done with a case of sleeved? Cause I’ve seen sleeved boosters suspiciously low priced online
@ossmann89 these are the numbers from other streamers that have opened 1000's of packs. We only opened two sealed cases, 1 sleeved case and 1 booster box case. The numbers for us matched to a T on both cases.
I think TCGplayer published that the pull rates for a SIR is 1/87 packs. With a sample size of 8,000+ packs. That’s 1 SIR in about 3 booster boxes… not so hot.
I truely have no idea how u hit that much... My friends and I just opened up 3 boosterboxes for a video and we got totally ruined;( but we had loads of fun doing it which ofc is the most important part:))
I personally think the Alolan Exeggutor SIR or the Ceruledge IR cards are the 2 best looking cards in the set. I also agree the best way to go with this set is buy other products ratchet than the booster boxes for a better chance at the SIR/IR's. I ripped 12 of the 3 pack blisters and killed it with a out 18 hits total including the Hydreigon EX SIR
I think the Exeggutor SIR is my favorite card but the Milotic is a close second. I love the way the rainbow border on the Exeggutor seamlessly blends into the art on the card and I love the connection of the Milotic with the Feebass. The art on both of them is beautiful!
me and my little brother love pokemon cards, we don't have many but we really enjoy watching people open them to see all the artworks in new sets but in your hunt for pikachu you didnt really care for the non rares we missed all the cool new cards. hope you feel better soon! Fav card in surging sparks has to be the Latios full art
Definitely waiting for prismatic evolutions, it’s an eevee set, it’s got Tera eevee, which is a throwback to when the games released and there were Tera eevee raids everywhere, gonna be much more fun to open, likely with better pulls.
Favorite card from Surging Sparks is probably between the Skarmory IR, Latios IR or the Ceruledge IR. Hard to pick just one. Hopefully I get to see the cards in person, might make up my mind then 😂
Honestly my favorite card is pikachu sir. Pikachu has been my favorite Pokémon since day one. It’s been my favorite for over 20 years. I’m so glad pikachu is still a relevant pokemon to this day!
Out of the SS cards my fav is probably the Clobbopus. It’s simplistic but done so well, I’m happy it’s not super expensive since I haven’t been able to pull it I can at least get it later on
My favorite card from surging sparks is latias EX SIR! But I love the set so much in every way, phanpy and skarmory IR, Jasmine's Gaze SIR, Hydreigon Full Art and SAR, lots of cards I love in the set.
I bought 4 single blisters today and got 1 full art and 1 SIR. No Pikachu unfortunately though. Favorite card from Sparks? Pikachu ex SIR. I Doubt I'll ever get one though.
My favorite would be the Pikachu Ex Alt art! I'd love to open a few and get a Pikachu, Latias, or Latios, but I think I'll be wise and keep them sealed ;)
Really look forward to when I can get some of these packs. Love the idea of pulling that pikachu. That is what makes ripping so addictive is the chase😂.
im fully positive the PIKACHU is gonna fall to about $100 after the first 2 months and right now is a sales hype for pokemon company to push more products. but my thoughts aside i definitely say that the HYDREIGON SIR is my favorite card of this set
The fact its still climbing is nuts because its not even THAT good looking of a card. We have opened maybe 30 packs and we got more for our son for Christmas. We will be going HARD on Prismatic though
Well, i just started collecting again after approx 10 years after selling my gen 1 collection for peanuts. I pulled a gold Gravity Mountain card now so i guess that will be my favourite since it’s the first one that has a bit of worth!
I have already opened 8 booster bundles, 10 single packs, 3 of the tri packs and 1 ETB and I have not really pulled much! I have opened so much Pokémon in my life and have only once pulled the #1 card and to my luck it was a shinny Charizard (at the time it was great till the reprint). Never ever since have I pulled myself a top card! I am praying surging sparks will be my jam but I want that Pikachu so so bad! I hope I don't have to rip 500 packs to pull him! My favorite card looks wise out of surging sparks is the Pikachu ex gold such a beautiful card!
Pull the pikachu SIR just for the hype, don’t forget 2 hit the button Fav card is the Latias or Milotic but out of the packs I open got the alaon exeggutor and hydregion SIRs which both are beautiful, rainbow boarders are gorgeous
My mind is telling me NOOOOO dont open surging sparks.... but my body...... my body is TELLING ME YESS
Omg hahahahaha
I don’t see nothing wrong with a little Surging Sparks
I’m been pulling fine
My mind is telling me yes but my wallet is yelling at me no 😭
LMAOOOOO
I prefer Latias over the Pikachu imo but I get Pikachu is definitely more popular/well known

6 Double rare per BB
2 Ace spec per BB
2-3 Ultra Rare per BB
3 Illustration Rare per BB
1 SIR per 2 BB
1 Hyper Rare per 4 BB

I bought 4 and still nothing
Worst part is even in 1/87 it’s not guaranteed
I got 2 SIR within 45 packs, durant and Archaludon unfortunately
I actually hat the Gold Pikachu in my 6th Boosterpack (from Booster Box) 🎉
But no SIR yet too
Got sir Pikachu, latios, skarmory, braviary, and gold night stretcher on first booster box and the Lisia’s appeal sir outta my first booster bundle.
2 Booster Bundles and 6 Blisters. 9 Hits Including Latias EX SIR(from BB) Quiting While I’m ahead. From Target!
The ceruledge is my fav gen 9 pokemon and I’m glad it got an illustration in surging sparks fire card!
Latios and latias are insane cards too, would say the latios is my favourite!
I truely have no idea how u hit that much... My friends and I just opened up 3 boosterboxes for a video and we got totally ruined;( but we had loads of fun doing it which ofc is the most important part:))
Please buy and rip more
@@Passion_Ctrl My wallet is prohibiting me from buying more ;(
@@Dual-Draws JUST DO IT DUDE I PULLED THE LATIAS SIR FROM A BOOSTER BOX
The pulls on boosters don't seem to be very good at all
@@BrocksBlazing i got the latias on my first box
This was HORRIBLE PULL RATES!! Usually 14 hits out of a booster box and 3 IRs…you got 17 hits out of like 60 packs and only 2 IRs in 50 packs. BAD!!!
I personally think the Alolan Exeggutor SIR or the Ceruledge IR cards are the 2 best looking cards in the set. I also agree the best way to go with this set is buy other products ratchet than the booster boxes for a better chance at the SIR/IR's.

I really like the SIR Latios/Latias combo, and when the background arts line up to paint the bigger picture.
No matter how expensive Pikachu gets in Surging, my fav has to be Dugtrio... that hair.
I’m imagining Vault in the room with the lights off just rippin’ packs in total darkness
I'm chasing that Latias EX personally, but I wouldn't be upset if a Pikachu popped in for a temporary home.
Yeaah dude i am waiting for my crush to sleep with me BUT i won't say no to a top model
me and my little brother love pokemon cards, we don't have many but we really enjoy watching people open them to see all the artworks in new sets but in your hunt for pikachu you didnt really care for the non rares we missed all the cool new cards.
hope you feel better soon!
Fav card in surging sparks has to be the Latios full art
my favourite card from surging Sparks is the Scovillian. I am going to build a deck focused on that card, i think it has lots of potential.
The Milotic SIR. The card is just stunning graphically to me. Focuses more on the environment and not just the pokemon.
Something about the Slakoth illustration rare just speaks to my soul.
I cant say I ever remember a set going this crazy days after release. Insane stuff but sadly think it will only go down in a few months.
The Latios IR art work is my favorite!
Sleeved single packs have been super lucky for me. Think I am like 11 for 13 and pulled the Latias ex!
I've only ripped sleeved boosters and 3 pack blisters so far with decent success. My favorite card in the set has to be the Skarmory IR.
I think it's a toss-up between the Exeggutor SIR and the Skarmory, with the Hydreigon SIR close behind... they just look so good!
Can't go wrong with that Pikachu EX. I agree on the blister packs, I pulled a few alt arts from ES out of blister packs back in the day.
Surging Sparks has a lot of cute cards! The one I was hoping to get was the Milotic SIR. I also love the Spheal and Phanpy IR's.
Ceruledge goes hard in the set! Easier hit I have been hearing. But just looks like a boss
Milotic SIR is by far my favorite from surging sparks! It's such a beautifully designed card to bring Feebas and Milotic together.
Going from 2 sirs per box to 2 per case in the same era is so wild
I love your commentary over opening these packs. As a first time viewer, I'll defo stick around
The hype for surging sparks is insane and I regret not buying BB’s when they were $104 😭
Definitely waiting for prismatic evolutions, it’s an eevee set, it’s got Tera eevee, which is a throwback to when the games released and there were Tera eevee raids everywhere, gonna be much more fun to open, likely with better pulls.
Pikachu SIR to the moon 🌙 🌚 💥
Definitely love the alt art pikachu but the price is going to tank like tesla lol
Favorite card from Surging Sparks is probably between the Skarmory IR, Latios IR or the Ceruledge IR. Hard to pick just one. Hopefully I get to see the cards in person, might make up my mind then 😂
Favorite card would be the Latios I think, really liked catching that in Ruby way back when lol
Precious Trolly is my favorite, because somebody has to like it.
Blister packs and sleeved boosters are definitely the way to go. Luckily I already pulled my favourite card of this set, the chrome skarmory.
It’s a shame the booster boxes are so inflated compared to normal, expected ofc but normal people can’t afford them unfortunately.
Those Latios and Latias cards together are amazing! My two favs.
Opened 1 PC ETB 1 ir and 2ex, im itching to open my 2nd but not sure if i should.
I agree with the blister packs being better. I only opened 10 and got several hits including the full art pikachu
Favorite sparks card has to be the Dugtrio. The hair makes it hillarious!
My fav is the Hydreigon ! Only opened etbs so far. I think I'll take a different approach after watching this. Thanks
Honestly my favorite card is pikachu sir. Pikachu has been my favorite Pokémon since day one. It’s been my favorite for over 20 years. I’m so glad pikachu is still a relevant pokemon to this day!
Favorite card from Surging Sparks is definitely the Ceruledge Illustration Rare! It’s amazing! ❤
I love the Alolan Exeggutor - it's giving Miami Vice
My favorite card would have to Jasmine's Gaze. Love some vintage Gym Leader love
That Latias special illustration is my favorite from the set!
Just remember, the only one that’s making money in Pokémon is the actual Pokémon company. Everything is all hyped up on these chase cards.
I'd love to get the Feebas and Milotic combo from this set. Breathtaking arts!
My favorite cards are Skarmory IR and Shiinotic IR . They’re amazing cards
Hydreigon SIR is banging.
Are these the sleeved boosters or actual 1 pack blisters that come with the promos?
The Ceruledge IR is the best looking card in the set in my opinion.
Milotic feebas combo is my favorite from this set I’m a big fan of the sequential cards
Out of the SS cards my fav is probably the Clobbopus. It’s simplistic but done so well, I’m happy it’s not super expensive since I haven’t been able to pull it I can at least get it later on
This is making it real hard to keep my sealed Surging Sparks collection…well, sealed
Pikachu sir is obviously a grail right now, but I really like the Feebas and Milotic as a pair and would love to have in my collection sometime!
I think I’ve pulled 8 Tatsugiri full arts, I hate seeing that card now
Ahhhhh you got the castform! That’s the card I’m chasing! I love him. Best artwork of the set in my humble opinion.
Saving money for prismatic evolutions became a torture thanks to surging sparks😂
I’m 416 packs deep and one SIR 😂 (Booster box case, ETB case and half of another booster box case) SEND HELP
It’s time to stop now lol, just buy the cards
@@THExBLAZEx88 NEVER 💪
@ 💰 🔥 💵
@ hahaha
Only one SIR through a booster box case and a half?? That's so unfortunate. How many gold cards?
I love the Latios IR. I've opened 172 packs so far, not a single SIR. Rough
My favorite card from surging sparks is latias EX SIR! But I love the set so much in every way, phanpy and skarmory IR, Jasmine's Gaze SIR, Hydreigon Full Art and SAR, lots of cards I love in the set.
My favorite card from Surging Sparks is the IR Exeggcute they just look so awesome to me
I bought 4 single blisters today and got 1 full art and 1 SIR. No Pikachu unfortunately though.
Favorite card from Sparks? Pikachu ex SIR. I Doubt I'll ever get one though.
My favorite would be the Pikachu Ex Alt art! I'd love to open a few and get a Pikachu, Latias, or Latios, but I think I'll be wise and keep them sealed ;)
Latias EX is my favorite. Love the videos! You and Rev got me started on my own channel! Keep up the awesome work!
My favorite card is actually the Eggxecute IR haha. I just think it's super cute on the basketball court and everything
The latias latios duo are amazing, those are def my pave
Really look forward to when I can get some of these packs. Love the idea of pulling that pikachu. That is what makes ripping so addictive is the chase😂.
The pikachu sir is nice but I absolutely love the Latias ex sir the most out of this set
Can't even find a pack of Surging Sparks where I live. Maybe Veruca Salt's dad bought 'em all and has his warehouse opening the packs lol.
My fav card in surging is the Hydreigon art! So beautiful and such a cool pokemon
im fully positive the PIKACHU is gonna fall to about $100 after the first 2 months and right now is a sales hype for pokemon company to push more products. but my thoughts aside i definitely say that the HYDREIGON SIR is my favorite card of this set
I'll probably have to go with braviary IR. Stunning art work. And merica
The fact its still climbing is nuts because its not even THAT good looking of a card. We have opened maybe 30 packs and we got more for our son for Christmas. We will be going HARD on Prismatic though
The Ceruledge and Latios IR's are both bangers in this set
I really hope there is a huge reprint so I can buy some more packs
I'd say my favorite card from Surging Sparks is the Ceruledge IR ^^
Booster bundles and sleeved packs have come in clutch for me. My fav card has got to be hydreigon
Well, i just started collecting again after approx 10 years after selling my gen 1 collection for peanuts. I pulled a gold Gravity Mountain card now so i guess that will be my favourite since it’s the first one that has a bit of worth!
The feebas / milotic combo hits the spot for me 😊
That Pikachu Alt Art looks amazing!
My favorite card from surging sparks has to be the SIR Latias Ex. Which I pulled today!
I have already opened 8 booster bundles, 10 single packs, 3 of the tri packs and 1 ETB and I have not really pulled much! I have opened so much Pokémon in my life and have only once pulled the #1 card and to my luck it was a shinny Charizard (at the time it was great till the reprint). Never ever since have I pulled myself a top card! I am praying surging sparks will be my jam but I want that Pikachu so so bad! I hope I don't have to rip 500 packs to pull him! My favorite card looks wise out of surging sparks is the Pikachu ex gold such a beautiful card!
Opened a box os SSP last week and was pretty happy with the hitrates. Got the 219/191 Pika among others.
Milotic SIR is by far my favorite from this set, it looks so good! Im still back and forth on ripping my BB and PC ETB.
Favorite that I’ve pulled is Probably the latios ex regular art but one of my favorite Pokémon
The Milotic is WAYYYY better, especially when you do that and the Feebas combined for the whole scene.
Pull the pikachu SIR just for the hype, don’t forget 2 hit the button
Fav card is the Latias or Milotic but out of the packs I open got the alaon exeggutor and hydregion SIRs which both are beautiful, rainbow boarders are gorgeous
The milotic is so nice, if I don't pull it I think I'm gonna have to pull the trigger and break the bank...
Lugia is my fave / I won a case of surging sparks ETB - should I open it ?
My favorite cards are always the most expensive. Pikachu! Lol. There are always cards i will like also.
Man the temptation of opening this set is making me queasy. I swear I could sh*t through a screen door.
The Hydreigon Ex Alt-art is pretty rad and probably my fav in the set. And were those Single Pack Checklane Blisters or Sleeved Boosters?
I Opened 10 Surging Sparks, Got a Pikachu Ex, not the SR, Slaking Full Art, and Hydreigon Ex , again not the SR... so yea... I would say that's decent
I pulled the pikachu 238 from 1 etb i orderd with my son. Got 3 more little hits in the etb. My favourite card is the latios/latias combi
