It only were the commons in every pack in the same sequential order, but the uncommon were following a pattern as well. Every pack, the first uncommon was the last uncommon from the previous. And they were in the same order, so so packs had 2 duplicates in the same order.
Fun fact: Despite Scarlet's Pokedex entry for Orthworm mentioning that it "wields the tendrils on its body like fists and pelt the opponent with a storm of punches," Orthworm cannot learn any punching moves. A bit of a missed opportunity in my opinion, he should've had Bullet Punch.
LIVE WO-CHIEN REACTION That artist rare was my least-desired of the Ruinous Quartet initially, but seeing it IRL made it my absolute favorite of the four. Congrats on that awesome pull!
hi matt, I have a funny/cute story involving frigibax in S/V. I was doing an outbreak so the sound of its' cry was playing pretty often. my cat busted in my bedroom and started looking around. I didn't know at first but I realized she was probably looking for kittens! she acts like this if she hears a video of kittens crying. frigibax cute little cry made my cat think i was hiding some kittens from her lol. she is a former stray, and unfortunately we don't know much of anything about her past, such as how old she is and if perhaps she was a mommy kitty at one time.
You're the only pokemon youtuber I watch who open TCG cause you don't make it about money. Seems like you collect them cause you like them, not to resell. Best poketuber!
Good god Matt that thumbnail will go down in history, much like the mail going down to the mail room and then rising back up to Pepe Silvia's office...
I'm so glad they are starting to do more traditional watercolor-esque warm styles with the full arts from the sets like Galarian Gallery from Crown Zenith for instance. I always enjoy those cards a lot.
To be fair, your ‘Diamond and Pearl set’ callout was really close. The set before Secret Wonders was called Mysterious Treasures. So Mysterious Wonders is like some Lion Ling 1/2 set 😂
The common thing happened to me in my ETB too! I would get two packs of the same commons, & then two more packs of the same etc. Must be some kind of seeding thing!
I'm pretty sure pokemon prints commons in groups. It's almost always the same 3 commons together, even back in the SWSH era. Don't know how consistent that is, though.
I noticed that the Clavell art has him wearing orange, does the tcg game usually have a preference for the "first" game in each pair (Scarlet, Sword, Sun, etc.) when it comes to version differences in character design?
@@TheGodIvy Maybe, but that still brings up the question of why the anime chose to only represent scarlet instead of having both schools and have some kind of rivalry going on? would make for a really interesting story that way
Why do I feel like Charlie would have a whole collection of pokemon cards but never bought a single pack, just got all of his cards from the dumpster lmaooo
Hey Matt(Absol) glad to see you and I like when people open Pokémon cards so I really enjoyed this vid.And hope you have a good rest of your day love you and your vids hope you keep making them.
I'm pretty sure these sequences were always a thing. I recall seeing them in older pack openings too, I'm suprised people didn't notice it then. Maybe it has something to do with how they shuffle the cards in the factory? I don't know if this is just a Pokemon thing or other cards produced by the same company/factory have similar problems.
matt today mountain dew came out with 2 new baja blast flavors and immediately thought of your channel. same day as a new upload with a fire vid definitely got to try them soon, keep up the great vids!
HEY! i have a cool shiny hunting idea if you’re interested in that, if not that’s okay. i know you don’t like using cheating devices, but if you glitch past the guard in the HG/SS safari zone, the grass is 100% level 20 Rattata! i’m not sure if they can be shiny, but i assume they can be. i think that would be an AWESOME shiny hunting video!
I remember getting a $15 crown zenith 3 pack pin thing and they all gave me like the same 15 different cards also I skipped through the video to see if you’d be complaining about these “repeating patterns” thing and you got an Iono full art, wowza
Sorry if this is a weird question but I figured you would be the perfect person to ask. You have been making pokemon content nonstop for years and years, but I feel like in recent times I have been falling out of love with pokemon. The last few gens have been pretty disappointing to me and really inhibit my enjoyment of the franchise. From my perspective it seems like pokemon peaked a long time ago and it doesn't seem to be returning to its former glory any time soon. So for my question, how do you manage to remain such a massive fan of the series after all this time? Do you ever take breaks from pokemon where you focus on another hobby for a few weeks or something? Maybe you just like the recent gens a lot more than I do and so this isn't an issue you've experienced at all? I am really interested in any answers you could provide, I really want to love pokemon like I used to (and as much as you still currently do). Thanks for reading, love your videos, keep up the good work.
I get really annoyed when people call Iono "eye-ono," when the trailer she's featured in says "ee-ono." Great vid btw, it just annoys me since her name is literally said in the trailer and every single TH-camr I watch calls her "eye-ono"
I say it because Ion is pronounced eye-on. Are you talking the trailer where she's speaking Japanese?? because in that trailer she refers to herself as her Japanese name Nanjamo
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon holy crap, your right! I somehow Mandela Effect-ed myself into thinking that! Sorry about that. I will probably still say "ee-ono" though, just sounds more natural to me
@@ketchup016 your reasons are valid, I'm just delusional somehow. I could've sworn she actually said her name like I say it, but like Absol pointed out, she says her Japanese name, which is even weirder to me! Iono sounds like it's totally be a V-Tuber name, and I thought it was her name in both regions, because I somehow heard ee-ono when that trailer first came out. I can't believe I thought she said her English name in the trailer for a year!
you joke about oranguru but you still pronounce garganacl not like gargantuan. please, i like garGANacl as a pokemon, stop pronouncing it GARgaNACL. it's a gargantuan salt stack, not gargling salt.
the energy retrieval is something I really want to pull honestly
16:04 Matt just wanted to show off that he learned magic and duplicated the Glimmora card right in front of us
It only were the commons in every pack in the same sequential order, but the uncommon were following a pattern as well. Every pack, the first uncommon was the last uncommon from the previous. And they were in the same order, so so packs had 2 duplicates in the same order.
You're right!!! I felt like something was maybe off with the uncommons too but wasn't paying as much attention to them
caught a shiny Mudbray in ultra sun during this!!
The upside down pack actually pulling through was something I didn't expect 😂
Fun fact: Despite Scarlet's Pokedex entry for Orthworm mentioning that it "wields the tendrils on its body like fists and pelt the opponent with a storm of punches," Orthworm cannot learn any punching moves. A bit of a missed opportunity in my opinion, he should've had Bullet Punch.
Can't wait for the game theory on this
I really like the touch of the ruin quartets gate things being in the background of some of the cards

Still cant believe you pulled a shiny ibuprofen
That alt-art Tinkaton artwork reminds me of the old He-man show, "I have the powaaar"
Let's go,new absolblogspokemon upload!!

tandemaus! carrying a rock! what're they gonna hit with that
Your pulls were insane, ya got all my chases, meanwhile mine was just depressing
Loved the Maxmoefoe refrence
I had some repeating sequence ones on crown zenith packs that came out post S&V debut it was very weird
Clodsire's card says "Paldean Clodsire"? Pretty weird, but also funny!
To be fair, your ‘Diamond and Pearl set’ callout was really close. The set before Secret Wonders was called Mysterious Treasures. So Mysterious Wonders is like some Lion Ling 1/2 set 😂
Pokémon TCG has been printing some bangers
7:00 Let's go Jotho confirmed :O
I remember the commons in my etb were the same atleast twice. It was weird.
The common thing happened to me in my ETB too! I would get two packs of the same commons, & then two more packs of the same etc. Must be some kind of seeding thing!

Now that thing's got a bowl on its head™️
the smile always forms when i know its time to watch a big ol card opening from absol. Some good pulls in these for sure!
Absol try not to get a weird packs challenge.
Difficulty: Impossible
that wo chien is beautiful
God I remember and miss the Dennis meme
I think the water tauros is just a bit better, i think its really good.
I noticed that the Clavell art has him wearing orange, does the tcg game usually have a preference for the "first" game in each pair (Scarlet, Sword, Sun, etc.) when it comes to version differences in character design?
Maybe its because the anime has the scarlet school? Thats my best guess
@@TheGodIvy Maybe, but that still brings up the question of why the anime chose to only represent scarlet instead of having both schools and have some kind of rivalry going on? would make for a really interesting story that way
I feel an immense sense of joy when your card opening videos show up in my notifications mr absol pokemon
No fortetress but lots of pineco atleast!
Something about the delibird art makes it look extra cute to me
20:02 What Sudowoodo? I don't see any.
Upside down pack? More like upside down QUACK!
Today was my birthday, and I can't think of a better way to end it than an absolblogs video. Thank you for all that you do!
257/193??? You mean to tell me that they've been adding basically an entire set as the secrets of a set???
Followed later by a *_277?!?!?!_*
Why do I feel like Charlie would have a whole collection of pokemon cards but never bought a single pack, just got all of his cards from the dumpster lmaooo
Charlie would have a sleeved up common right next to an unsleeved shadowless Charizard
14:21 not the reverse shrek card
Nothing makes me happier than a new absol video
I have opened a single pack from this set, got a gold Meowscarada card :0
First pack you pull a spiritomb and the last pack you pull one. Coincidence??? Maybe.
Hey Matt(Absol) glad to see you and I like when people open Pokémon cards so I really enjoyed this vid.And hope you have a good rest of your day love you and your vids hope you keep making them.
No yamper in this set:(
VinCactus
I'm buying the etb later on this year, hope I pull the chi yu ex or clodsire ex but love the pulls
Thank you gamer. Fantastic unboxing as always.
i was crazy excited to see this notification . love your tcg vids 💙
This is all one box???

Ooooh. I need to see if my local game store has one of those promos lose. That is beautiful
QUICK MOM ABSOL POSTED A VIDEO
Live Wo-Chien Reaction.
Oh I’m sorry guy
ngl the thumbnail is funny af and made me click the video
I know it’s weird but all these upside down and messed around cards sketched me out
I just got a ETB too and I am here to let you know if I also have patterns (haven’t opened yet will edit comment)
Your second pack (starts with Clavell) can confirm I got the same commons
The Tinkatink start also 👁️👁️ they definitely have these going in patterns
Only saw one that didn’t repeat and I got some other ones (I’m assuming also patterns) otherwise the commons are predictable you are not crazy
Good set, but rates and art don’t feel as fun as Astral Radiance to me. Maybe I just love PLA in an unhealthy way. 🤷♂️
nice stuff
