Haven’t opened Pokémon cards since I was a kid in 1999. Somehow started watching this channel recently and you’ve totally reignited the fire in me to start collecting again.
hoesntly same here, i had opened my first etb in my life and it was crown zenith. And i’m glad it was. I got two 2 secret rares. hoesntly opening a set you had never opened gives you the best luck. Nice to see someone agrees :D
Evolving Skies is definitely one of my top favorites from the era. I opened one of the Japanese sets for it and managed to pull the Rayquaza V alt art from it. It went straight into a top loader the moment I pulled it. Silver Tempest is also up there since I pulled the Rayquaza Vmax gold card from it at the start of the year
I love the swsh era it was super crazy watching all of the crazy pulls you have pulled throughout the years! can’t wait for the scarlet and violet sets!
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for astral…. That was the set that got me back into collecting and I pulled the alt art machamp on my first booster box
I really think Fusion Strike is a pretty solid set as well. It’s got quite a few awesome looking alt arts, but not as many people tend to not go for it.
#5 chilling reign #4 lost origin #3 silver tempest #2 evolving skies #1 crown zenith Bonus pack #1 celebrations ( even though it’s not in the sword and shield era )
I found myself collecting again thanks to this era and channels like yours! The Lugia alt art from Silver Tempest caught my attention because it was my favorite legendary Pokémon back in the day. Due to that fact, I will have to say Silver Tempest. It was my first booster box ever and I’m now the proud owner of 2 Lugia alt arts!
@@b-games5582 as a kid my mom could barely afford the booster packs she bought me let alone the whole box. As an adult with my own money to spend, it’s been cool to live out my childhood dreams of opening packs! If there’s ever a set you really like and you have the money, get one!!
@@lxverbxy3106 that's sad that your mom couldn't afford any booster pack but you as a grown-up can buy as many cards and take care of the people you love
I'd say your choices are good. I'd probably do the same. Evolving Skies is immediately my favorite set. It's really hard not to choose that. Haha The next era could be our most insane era of artwork and pokemon. I can't wait!!!
i came back to the hobby of collecting pokemon cards again during this crazy era. i just loved the alt arts and trainer galleries. im really looking forward for scarlet and violet that is coming up. hope you all get great pulls!
Solid video. Top five sets from this era are 5. Silver tempest 4. Celebrations 3 crown zenith 2. Brilliant stars 1. Evolving skies. Overall this was a pretty solid generation for cards. I think the first year was pretty rough but they finished out the generation with solid set after solid set.
My son pulled a lugia alt art card his was super excited and I thank you because he has watching you for a while now and he says that’s how he got back in Pokémon so keep it up rev😊
Top 5 is tough there are alotta good sets once the alt arts came out. Comparing really depends on how you view the pull rates because those trainer galleries really affect them. For me, bottom to top: Chilling Reign Brilliant Stars Silver Tempest Crown Zenith Evolving Skies Thanks rev for always giving the community new content and awesome giveaways!
Evolving skies is awesome as well but the pull rate can be tough. Price is blowing up as well. Get them while you can if you wanna chase that Moonbreon. Probably cheaper now buying the card lol... Not the same as actually pulling it yourself. Cant beat that feeling! Love the content man. keep it up.
Honestly, I love Evolving Skies, and everytime I see it in stores, I don't hesitate to grab myself some sleeves. But buying it online is so hard because it is much higher than MSRP currently, and the only way to get it for me right now is buying single boosters off Stop N Shop shelves, or praying to the Pokemon Gods that any of my local card shops have ANY in stock. (Which is never the case). I am always on the hunt for that moon-breon VMAX and I pray the day comes that I pull it!
i relate to this comment so much! i am always on the hunt for evolving skies at my local stores. i am still hoping to find the etb’s as well. but i love the set because eevee evolutions are my favorite. i hope one day to collect all the eevee evolutions from this set!
Sword and shield was the generation I got back into Pokémon with and it’s super cool to look back on all these sets! I remember seeing all these sets teased and leaked and being so excited to get the beautiful artworks they made. Love the vid!
I just found my Pokémon card collection from when I was a kid. I have a bunch of first edition cards in there. I'm excited to see what they are valued at and now I've been reinspire to collect a little here in there again. Thanks for the dope videos. They are super exciting.
I’m obsessed with lost origin…after 4 ETB’s and so many booster bundles I’m still chasing the Giratina Alt art. I also love evolving skies, such beautiful art
Personally Astral Radiance has always been a part of me since it’s when I started collecting again. That would probably be my #1 set. Keep up the great content, Rev.
Evolving Skies will always be the best set! I love watching opening videos like this. XD Makes me really happy when there are hits because I also get excited seeing Rev's reactions.
This is my list: 1: crown zenith: the reason crown zenith is number one is bc of the pull rates and it has some decent coll cards 2: brilliant stars: the reason is bc it has a lot of good cards and has really good pull rates but not as good as crown zenith 3: astral radience: the reason is bc it has a good pull rate and really cool cards and fun fact astral radience was the first ever set that i opened and got a pull i started pokemon in 2019 anyways in the 4th place gotta be evolving skies: the reason why its not number 1 is bc it hasnt a high pull rate but the cards are fantastic and beatiful i would do it in number 5 but i got the alternate altwork umbreon vmax the most valueble card in the set and the most valueble vmax and in number 5 It gotta be celebrations: reason and i know its a small set and you only get 4 cards per pack but it has good pull rates and really cool cards like the golden mew and the mega Rayquaza ex: alr that will be it comment if you agree with me 👇
Crown zenith is top tier #1 for me pull rates are incredible vivid voltage #2 pikachu nice #3 brilliant stars also good pull rates #4 lost origin #5 astral radiance good radiants
Your my boys and my favorite love the energy you bring and knowledge...I'm 37 just now getting back into it but I love how me and my two boys (5)(8) can just sit down together and watch you while we open packs .......hope some of your pull luck comes are way.....thank you for your vidz...
Just started getting back into this after 20+ years I like fusion strike. I bought the etb and got the alt mew. Was a nice reintroduction to my childhood card game.
Brilliant stars and Silver tempest are interchangeable at 5 and 6 for me, 4 is evolving skies, 3 is lost origin, 2 is chilling reign and 1 is crown zenith
Haven’t opened Pokémon cards since I was a kid in 1999. Somehow started watching this channel recently and you’ve totally reignited the fire in me to start collecting again.
Same!!! Just bought 5 booster packs today and I'm so stoked to start collecting again
@@gsabella4Nice! 👍👍👍
Same here but in my country one pack is 6 euros
those cards in 1999 are worth hundreds now
Evolving skies is obv the top pick for these sets overall, but so far I think Crown Zenith has been my absolute favorite to open!
same
@@Pokemon_girl_1106 same here!

Crown Zenith
SIlver Tempest
Brilliant Stars
Astral Radiance
Evolving Skies.
Absolutely hating Scarlet and Violet right now...
@@JordanxJLPxCHIA llol
I just love silver tempest. It got so many beautiful cards. All of them have a nice value and PRETTY additions to the collection.
I can’t help myself with 151, it’s just fantastic seeing the og Pokémon
Evolving Skies and Brilliant Stars are my top 2 as well!! I love how much variety they both have.
glad everyone is hyping up the two sets I own the most sealed product of
The trainer gallery really made the end of the sword and shield era insane. I think I agree with your line up!
Trainer Gallery changed Pokemon cards and made the rest of Sword and shied insane like you said
Evolving Skies is definitely one of my top favorites from the era. I opened one of the Japanese sets for it and managed to pull the Rayquaza V alt art from it. It went straight into a top loader the moment I pulled it. Silver Tempest is also up there since I pulled the Rayquaza Vmax gold card from it at the start of the year
I somehow pulled the lugia v first try
My top 5 (personal opinion)
1. Battle Styles
2. Evolving Skies
3. Shining Fates
4. Astral radiance
5. Chilling Reign
I love the swsh era it was super crazy watching all of the crazy pulls you have pulled throughout the years! can’t wait for the scarlet and violet sets!

@@arlen_gaming Thx….Man!
Love it brother
Its out but only in japanese
Chilling Reign is underrated, the Blaziken, the birds and gold Snorlax are awesome
I have to agree with the BlazikenVMAX
for me it is chilling pain lol i get nothing from it but i have seen very nice cards
I just get chilling pain from those
I feel like that chilling reign is being held back because of no trainer gallery
Chill reign is BAD
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for astral…. That was the set that got me back into collecting and I pulled the alt art machamp on my first booster box
Same story here
I got the Lugia from silver tempest in a random singular pack!
Loved your choices but I also love the Celebrations set.
Crown Zenith and Evolving skies are sets where the prices reflect the worth. The arts are nice and the hits are plenty. Hope to get that booster box
For me all of these sets are absolute fire, but i think Fusion Strike should get some love too!
Silver tempest evolving skies😊
Chilling Reign & Evolving Skies are my favourite sets. I think fusion strike would be up there if the pulls where a little bit better!
The excitement you get when opening packs is contagious🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your top 5 list is pretty solid! I'd probably have brilliant stars in the #4 position personally, but evolving skies is defiantly the #1 set!
........
I really think Fusion Strike is a pretty solid set as well. It’s got quite a few awesome looking alt arts, but not as many people tend to not go for it.
thats quite true
@@cadenalmeida5142 no
I got the espeon vmax out of a $20 box with only 2 fusion packs. I think it's gonna be worth 2× within the next year

#2 evolving skies
#1 crown zenith
Bonus pack
#1 celebrations ( even though it’s not in the sword and shield era )
“The thing that held chilling reign back for me was there’s no trainer gallery” proceeds to put evolving skies as #1
I spent a good 100$ on set and i got not even a holo regular best pull was the promo😐
@@AAaa-z1g7d i spent $5 dollars on 1 pack and pulled the moltres. Plus the art is just amazing

Evolving skies may have the second to worst pull rate out of all these sets, but it definitely has the best alternative arts
I have pulled the umbreon vmax reaching for the moon and the rayquaza vmax in my first 25 packs it is sooo easy to pull a banger!

Same I managed to pull an alt art palkia v from 5 astral radiance packs I hope you get lucky too
@@JingYiYuan alt art palkia v is cool. my favorite alt art in this era was probably the raquaza v alt art in evolving skies.
It was surprising to see that Crown Zenith was not your top 2 picks. The pull rates are insane and the amount of really good art cards is insane
My favourite set is silver tempest
Ya crown zenith my favourite set by a mile

Shining fates?
Sword and shield definitely have insane arts, can't wait for what Scarlet and Violet brings to the table!!
Just got back into the hobby during this era and it’s been so much fun. I’m excited for the scarlet/violet era coming up!
hi pokerev this is so cool im a big fan
Me too Pokerev actually got me back into this no kidding!

They r worth more if u don’t open them
Evolving Skies definitely deserving of the #1 spot. Crown Zenith has to have the best art though. So good, in so many ways!
I’ve been watching you for a year and a half
I watch all your new videos
Same
The sword and shield era had amazing sets in it and this video made me sad that we are moving on but excited for scarlet and violet to come out!
The best
Crown zenith is the best, I overall love the sword and shield era
I’m obsessed with lost origin…after 4 ETB’s and so many booster bundles I’m still chasing the Giratina Alt art. I also love evolving skies, such beautiful art
My favourite set is brilliant stars
Chilling Reign is so underrated. Has incredible Alt Arts and Secret Rares
Personally Astral Radiance has always been a part of me since it’s when I started collecting again. That would probably be my #1 set. Keep up the great content, Rev.
Such an underrated set! The first 2 packs I opened I got full art Irida so it will always have a special place in my heart for that.
1. Crown Zenith
2. Astral Radiance

5. Brilliant Stars
Awesome opening! Evolving Skies, Chilling Reign, Darkness Ablaze, Brilliant Stars, and Crown Zenith are my personal favs.

1. Lost Origin 2. Crown Zenith 3. S&S Base 4. Chilling Reign 5. Evolving Sky’s
Yoo do you think pikachu is overrated if yes how much and I would love to have the booster box it’s ok if I can’t I have a small collection
It’s over rated
Is it me or machamp is not overrated anymore
I couldn't agree more with this list, evolving skies and the Rayquaza and evee cards are so so good
evolving skies is number 1
Yes
trying to get them where we live they seem extinct !!

2. Battle Styles
1. Chilling Reign < best SWSH set
This is my list:
1: crown zenith: the reason crown zenith is number one is bc of the pull rates and it has some decent coll cards
2: brilliant stars: the reason is bc it has a lot of good cards and has really good pull rates but not as good as crown zenith 3: astral radience: the reason is bc it has a good pull rate and really cool cards and fun fact astral radience was the first ever set that i opened and got a pull i started pokemon in 2019 anyways in the 4th place gotta be evolving skies: the reason why its not number 1 is bc it hasnt a high pull rate but the cards are fantastic and beatiful i would do it in number 5 but i got the alternate altwork umbreon vmax the most valueble card in the set and the most valueble vmax and in number 5
It gotta be celebrations: reason and i know its a small set and you only get 4 cards per pack but it has good pull rates and really cool cards like the golden mew and the mega Rayquaza ex: alr that will be it comment if you agree with me

It goes crown zenith #1 evolving skies #2 shining fates #3 brilliant stars #4 silver tempest #5 😀
My favourite booster pack is evolving skies
I love crown zenith tho
You have the best Pools ever that I ever seen in my life that’s all so cool that is V, Vmax,EX, X, Dx, rainbow, gold
My son got that lugia silver temple on his first pack of Pokémon cards. Now my family is loving Pokémon cards
I was lucky enough to pull the alt art lugia pretty early after st came out. It's sitting in a case till I can send it to be graded.
I agree for the most part, though astral radiance should have made it to the list and crown zenith should have been ranked higher, imo
Lost origins is by far my favorite not a disappointing pull anywhere, sky's is another good one for Eevee lovers however I'm not a fan of pull rates.
Top 5 IMO
Astral Radiance
Crown zenith
Evolving skies
Lost origin
Silver Tempest
I pulled that card to add of one astral radiance
My top 5 are...
5. Lost Origin
4. Silver Tempest
3. Crown Zenith
2. Darkness Ablaze
1. Astral Radiance
Is silver tempest worth opening? I have a booster box I preordered but never opened it
Just started getting back into this after 20+ years I like fusion strike. I bought the etb and got the alt mew. Was a nice reintroduction to my childhood card game.
Brilliant Stars is my favorite, followed by Crown Zenith.
My favorite set out of all seven of those was definitely crown zenith because of the pull rates!
I'm collecting Crown zenith now and love the artwork
I would probably have darkness ablaze as 2nd place
I like silver tempest
Brilliant stars and Silver tempest are interchangeable at 5 and 6 for me, 4 is evolving skies, 3 is lost origin, 2 is chilling reign and 1 is crown zenith
That draginite is dope
I personally like fusion strike the best due to me pulling gengar and espeon vmax alt arts!
My favorite was crown zenith. I pulled giratina vstar trainer gallery worth 150 dollars. First pack magic.
Team, scarlet and violet
👇👇
I need that booster box for a moonbreaon❤
Best sets are
No 1 lost origin
No 2 astral radiance
No 3 silver tempest
No 4 crown zenith
No 5 scarlet violet
It's true, Chilling Reign should be much higher rated, many cards are fantastic!
Crown zenith
