The term ‘pull rate’ refers to the numbers of holo, half art, and full art (including ultra and secret rare) that are found in booster boxes. Ahead of its release, the Pokémon TCGsent me an Elite Trainer Box of this new set to open up and review.

Rayquaza VMAX leads the surge from on high, and Duraludon VMAX towers above the land in its Gigantamax form, joined by Dragonite V, Noivern V, and more. I was thrilled to see the Jolteon VMAX in the set, as the Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon Vs have actually been cut from the set and are already confirmed to be SWSH Black Star Promos for products releasing in September.

The 13 packs with white code cards contained – 7 holo rare cards, 4 V cards, 2 VMAX and 2 full art ultra rare cards.

This box contains Evolving Skies Booster Packs, 65 card sleeves and 45 energy cards, perfect for a Pokemon master! To draw any definitive conclusions with regard to the Evolving Skies booster box pull rate a far greater number of booster packs should be analysed. The 16 packs with white code cards contained – 6 holo rare cards, 5 V cards, 3 VMAX, 1 full art ultra rare and 1 alternate art ultra rare card. It should be remembered that this experiment was carried out using just 3 booster boxes and while it appears to show a trend, may not be indicative of all booster boxes.Altogether the 3 boxes contained 30 packs with Sylveon artwork, 28 with Duraludon, 27 Rayquaza and 23 Umbreon.

I've said this with every Pokémon TCG product I've reviewed this year that has included sleeves, and my thought remains the same: the matte sleeves are good for players, as the cards won't slide when you stack them, but they, unfortunately, have a prominent texture on the 'clear' part of the card that fogs and obscures the beautiful art. A small portion of any purchases from these sites goes directly toward funding and supporting Coded Yellow. As a huge Eevee fan and someone who has always loved the artwork of the Pokémon TCG first and foremost (I'm a huge complete set binder collector), the design of the box is stunning. The 108 booster packs packed a total of 13 holo rare cards, 9 V cards, 2 VMAX and 3 full art ultra rare and 1 full art secret rare card.I'm not a Leonhart-style screamer when I pull a hit, but maybe I had a little internal Leonhart action going, because I just couldn't believe it! Included also are a set of dice, 8 SWSH Evolving Skies Booster Packs, and a code card for the Pokemon online TCG. Collectors who are aware of the cards that were in the Japanese sets on which Evolving Skies is based ( Eevee Heroes, Sky Stream, and Towering Perfection) will note that certain cards have been cut, which may hint at future promo cards to come. Overall, Evolving Skies and particularly this Elite Trainer Box are worth every bit of the excitement. You get dice, dividers, damage markers, a booklet with the set list, a code card, eight packs of Evolving Skies, and sleeves.

Booster Boxes and booster boxes alone guarantee a certain number of his, so ETBs are a total shot in the dark. The 16 packs with white code cards contained – 8 holo rare cards, 3 V cards, 2 VMAX, 1 full art ultra rare and 1 gold secret rare card. I have to admit this right up front, I have personally thought a lot about how little I understand the "sealed collection" phenomenon. These cookies help us improve our product by analyzing user data and applying personalized functions. The Rayquaza artwork performed particularly well showing a 63% pull rate while the packs with Umbreon artwork performed particularly badly scoring just 22%.

I've never gotten how someone could have a box full of Pokémon cards and not feel eaten up inside by the lingering question: What's in that box? When calculated over the 3 booster boxes it works out at 44% which we believe is the best pull rate so far for the Sword and Shield series. The booklet that comes with the box is super helpful, as it lays out all of the cards that come in the set.
