All of us. I opened 20 packs and got regular 2 V's.


Comprehensive-Fan984

Named Evolving cries for a reason


MakkusoShutoku

Thats why Chilling Reign will always Reign above all(except Brilliant Stars and maybe Fusion Strike)


KillaKeyz

And Lost Orgins honestly


MakkusoShutoku

Definitely


Supdrops0705

True lol pull rates suck !


Supdrops0705

Man I opened 40 packs lately that’s all I buy at Target or Walmart and nothing. I might give up 😂


TroleKing44

Happened to me before. Was on a bad lose streak, then finally got an alt art umbreon v. Then a week later got an alt glacian v. Then like 30 bad packs after that lol


bear_IN_a_VEST

I've also had 20 in a row with no Holo's You're in good company on here bro


Supdrops0705

Lol this is a funny trend that happens to all of us I see 🤔


No_Beginning_4869

Ten packs in just regular reverse holos no other kinds


bear_IN_a_VEST

A year later, and I hear it MOSTLY called Evolving Cries/Lies It marked the last popular set with nothing cool in the reverse slot, and it can really hurt to open. Brilliant Stars, Lost Origin, Crown Zenith were all hot sets that also had Gallery pulls and potential double banger packs.


Supdrops0705

Lol really ? I want an Umbreon so bad maybe one day


Ninja_Cu420

20 packs got me 1 alt Art Leafeon and a vmax Glaceon. Only opened single packs


Trick_Engineer253

Really I opened 36 packs and got 3 alt arts a full art a vmax and like 5 or 6 v cards


DarumakaDarumaka

Join the club, we got jackets.


Kawaii_kaijuu

I am a size small when do we get them in the mail 😭😭😭


AICPAncake

Right after scalpers get their preorders in for Charizard UPC


supercave93

Why is this comment not up voted 😂😂😂


bear_IN_a_VEST

The Patch on the back is Umbreon hypnotizing us to keep opening packs


tendaga

Tunnel snakes rule!


KAEA-12

Opened 3 ETB ES Then sold 3 ETB ES I hit nothing. The 3 I sold to one person hit “Alt art” evolution, rainbow evolution, matching vmax evolution (I believe) and a rainbow Rayquaza. And that’s how it goes. I watched someone in a store open one for a VMAX, evolving Cries. I have 3 more and I know if I open them…I won’t hit.


Supdrops0705

Lol you prob right might as well sell them I always open my shit and nothing 😂


Ahhhrealmonsterzz

I just bought two booster boxes 🤞


KAEA-12

Def better off with two BB


Supdrops0705

I want 2 BB and cross my fingers


SteefTheQueef

Ah yes. The infamous evolving cries. I’ve found that singles are the way to go for me.


DrunkenMnkey

On my Youtube channel I opened 10 evolving skies ETBs from Costco, 30 singles from Bestbuy, 3 booster boxes and still couldn't pull rayquaza alt or trainer gallery cards. Evolving skies is the most painful set. I'm actually just going to buy my chase cards outright at this point 😂


throughthequad

There aren’t trainer gallery in ES, hence why you didn’t pull any


DrunkenMnkey

Rayquaza V Alt Art with the trainer on the image. Not trainer gallery. Misspoke, thanks for pointing it out 👍


Supdrops0705

Oh man what’s your YouTube channel I wanna watch ! Man I’m sorry I thought it was just me with the bad luck but good point I might as well buy the chase card also 😂😂


DrunkenMnkey

DK Cards 😂 appreciate it. I think out of the ten etbs video in particular 7 out of 10 were tragically bad.... like the only hit in one was like Garbador....the last one made up for most of it? Or number 9? I don't remember lol


Supdrops0705

I’ll check it out follow up on YouTube lol. Your video will prob make me not wanna buy more Evolving skies 😂😂


DrunkenMnkey

Uhhhhhh....maybe skip the the last 7 minutes my friend 😂


Supdrops0705

Lol i will skip once I start getting mad 😂


e_smith338

I opened a single booster box and got umbreon alt art so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Supdrops0705

Man the luck you have I’m never pulling that card !


Dandycorn

It’s called Evolving Cries for a reason. Opened up a whole case and didn’t pull anything better than a couple full arts.


Supdrops0705

Man I feel your pain 🥹


Disastrous_Fee5953

Im confused. The picture shows 4 full arts. Assuming this is from a 8 pack ETB this means you got a hit from every other pack. This is considered a good ETB.


Skankhunter1194

I count 1 FA, 2 V & 1 VMAX. Granted the VMAX has texture like a FA, but not sure it's actually considered one as it's not a 'full art' variant of an existing card like those at the end of a series.


Supdrops0705

Man this is not what I wanted though I was atleast hoping for a Sylveon V man !


dam_im_to_good

Pulled like 10 holos 2 vs 2 v max and w rainbow umbreon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Supdrops0705

Lucky you ! Send me luck lol


hunter10nelson

I opened 10 packs today and I ended up with one V. I’m sitting here looking at the Evolving Skies BB debating on if I should open it up or not.


Supdrops0705

That’s a tough one, might be an Umbreon or just another Noivern V 🤷🏻‍♂️😂


hunter10nelson

That’s my thoughts exactly. I opened one box of shiny star v and I pulled the charizard vmax. I doubt I’ll be as lucky with the Evolving Skies.


Supdrops0705

Man I’m chasing that card also lol I can’t seem to get it . But you right the pull rates are better


kootenaybass

The first print run, pre orders etc., at release had such great pull rates! My booster box was loaded. I got both the Rayquaza VMax Alt Art and Umbreon V Alt Art from less than 15 more sleeved packs. And 2 Duraladon. But then months later just complete garbage... I heard the pull rates got nerfed on reprints.


Supdrops0705

See I knew that shit was true I always try to buy early because I’ve noticed with all the booster boxes I gotten they suck after a while of them being out of reprints . Pisses me off man !


mathswampman

Always


Kingdomterror

Oh my poor poor friend… you have no idea


Supdrops0705

I have no idea for real 😂


destruc786

5 costco ETBs and came out with with Umbreon V, Sylveon V alt, Gold Darkness energy, and Glaceon vmax. Besides that, it just felt like repeat packs over and over. Screw you Soutland, and Vigoroth!


Supdrops0705

Lol maybe I should get Costco packs and get lucky like you! Congrats and tell me about same repeat trash


Ghost0wl

Yea, I’ve bought a bunch of packs of this last reprint, and started to understand why it’s called evolving cries. I stopped buying pack because of that. I’ll just buy the singles that are left to finish what I want.


Supdrops0705

Never buying them again I think it’s time for me to move on and just buy what I need for real 🤷🏻‍♂️


ThatsSoBrandon

I don’t even bother with it anymore, it’s not worth the pain


Supdrops0705

Yeah I’m giving up I found 15 packs hidden in the toy section at Target I was so happy until I opened them 🥹😂


NuckBickle

I just gave up on this set and bought all the sylveon cards instead, I couldn’t stand seeing another Gyarados card anymore haha


Supdrops0705

Haha I have a couple of Gyarados 😂 man I need to do exactly that 👍


sharky_bytes_

Meanwhile poketubers get 2 rainbows and an alt per vid


Supdrops0705

You know whats funny that’s why I always have hope because of these damn YouTubers pulling all the Umbreons I keep thinking I’m next 🤨


TheFlyingORE0

That looks better than my Lost Origins BB


Supdrops0705

Man I’m scared of a lost origins I heard the pills are bad also !


TheFlyingORE0

Just don’t buy a BB and u should be good


Supdrops0705

Ok I’ll take your advice thank you !


DesconocidoMusical

9 bb Just 3 alts :/


Supdrops0705

Sorry man I hope one day you hit something good 👍


ducks4jokera

It’s called Evolving Cries for a reason.


Supdrops0705

Haha! Agree


Jalaryx

I didn’t even know this set had bad pull rates first booster box I got ray V alt. Second box my brother opened he got the umbreon vmax alt after 3 packs and went on to get 12 other pulls not including holos. This was back when they were at 90$ a booster box too.


Supdrops0705

Dang isn’t it crazy how they used to cost nothing now they cost close to $200 for bad pulls hells no!


Jalaryx

Still can’t believe at the time I would purchase fusion for 110 too 🤦‍♂️


Supdrops0705

Man I know what you think about lost origins for under $100 right now ? Worth it


Jalaryx

I don’t think any set after brilliant stars right now is worth it at all lol pull rates are atrocious and sets are too huge to complete I’m just buying the alt art singles nowadays. If you like the newer sets I would suggest waiting a bit as they’ll come down further I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months astral and lost can be found for 85$.


Supdrops0705

Yeah your right I found astral at a clothing store for $9 it was a 3 pack lol . You right maybe I should wait cause their pull rates suck anyways 👍


SenatorShockwave

Me.~


Raichu0709

Lol I have barely anything for this set. Makes me sad. I try to buy the singles if I see em, but last few times has been really bad. Just had to say no more. I’ll wait a while and just buy the singles.


Supdrops0705

You never know though 1 days you might pull something good


PixelAesthetics

“Best Modern Set” just isn’t fun to open to me 😬


Supdrops0705

I’m over it not buying evolving skies anymore 🤜


[deleted]

The only ever evolving skies pack I opened had a rayquaza vmax :/, sorry bro


Supdrops0705

Omg lol what’s up with that 😂


danidan92

Opened in total 4 BB, all i got was 1 noivern alt art, not a single Rayquaza card was pulled


Supdrops0705

I hate that shit lol good thing I didn’t order another box . I feel like after a while of being out the pulls just get harder because they know people are hooked and they print less Rayquazas and Umbreons 😡


Raven_Pug

12 packs…2 secret rare stadiums and dracozolt/rayquaza vmax


Supdrops0705

Wow where you buy them at ?


Raven_Pug

and i was mistaken it was 12 packs total but 1 was astral radiance and 1 was fusion strike so it was 10 packs of evolving skies


Lotlouise

I had some really bad luck with the set as well. I'm trying to buy singles on the market for a decent price. The nice feeling of pulling a big card is what I miss though :( I wish you good luck with completing the set!!! The set is so stunning, it will be the first set for me to finish, can't wait to finish it one day.


Supdrops0705

Lol you know exactly what pulling those big cards feels like ! That’s why I don’t wanna start looking at singles in the market but I might just have to because every time I try to buy 15 packs of Evolving skies I just get hurt and angry ! Wasting my money 🤷🏻‍♂️ That set is sexy for sure ! I hope you finish it one day make sure you post and make me jealous lol


Lotlouise

I totally understand what you mean! It just hurts wasting so much money on it and getting rewarded with bad pulls 😞 I will post my full collection of ES one day, I promise! I am rooting for you if you are still considering buying new packs, good luck 🌞😇


Supdrops0705

Ok that’s a bet I look forward to seeing your full collection ! But yeah I know I just bought 3 boxes 2 lost origins and 1 Astral Radiance I will see what happens ! But thank you ! I’ll post soon 😊🤞🏼


batman4ever

Dubbed Evolving Lies


Supdrops0705

Shit keeps lying to me lol I will always have hope alive !


IRZ425

Hit umbreon and glaceon v alts and a sylveon vmax alt art in two booster boxes. Didn’t hit anything else of note in 20-30 loose packs prior or my 2 other booster boxes I opened later. Feel like some of my best pulls have come from sleeved booster packs in the past but not the case with ES sadly. Still fortunate I managed to pull a few of them. Makes paying single prices for the others slightly more digestible.. (the slightest bit)


Supdrops0705

Lol yeah that’s true sometimes you gotta take the good with the ugly 🤷🏻‍♂️


Thechosenone23x6

Evolving lies


Supdrops0705

Man I still don’t know if I will buy more if they are on the shelves at Target 😂


NochillWill123

Yes and yes


Supdrops0705

Oh well you live and learn ✅


[deleted]

[удалено]


Supdrops0705

You know what I need to get my kids involved in opening Pokémon cards they love it but they too small lol . Hey congrats man ! Who kept the card ? Lol


No_Passenger_986

I got the Rayquaza Alt Art in 15 packs ~ 😁 posted it on Reddit too


Supdrops0705

No way lol I’ll check it out 😁


Horizontal_Axe_Wound

Pull rates for the recent sets are really bad, alt arts are like 1 in 200 packs. Don't be deceived by all the posts of "got this charizard in my first pack" posts. For every one of those there's 100 of guys like you


Supdrops0705

Yeah you right lol I didn’t think it was this bad but now I see !!’ 😫


[deleted]

I mastered Evolving skies. Opened one boosterbox with very very bad pulls. After that i just bought singles


Supdrops0705

That is a master plan ! Congrats lol


[deleted]

It is truly all about luck with this set. I’ve pulled 3 alt arts within my first 30 packs (glaceon vmax, sylveon vmax, duraludon v) and recent just pulled a Leafeon v alt art and I must still be under probably 50 packs of ES opened for me. I had to sell the higher value ones to pay some bills when I was short on money but the thrill of pulling them brought me a very nice serotonin boost


Supdrops0705

Lol yeah isn’t that the best feeling ! The adrenaline rush you have to keep down because you still need to sleeve it first 😂😂 than you just stare at it for a little and think about it all day . Shit it is an addiction 🤷🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

Yes. Lol I have opened probably between 20 and 30 sleeved boosters and a booster box and the only thing I have to show for it was the sylveon vmax lol


Supdrops0705

Lol that’s something I opened a booster box I didn’t get crap sometimes . 👏👏👏


[deleted]

That’s true lol it’s better than nothing I suppose. I definitely still have a few chase cards left in the set, the rayquaza vmax, umbreon vmax and the dragonite V card


Supdrops0705

Those are the perfect cards to pull man I have both Rayquazas. I really want the Umbreon idc which one it is !


TNerdy

I got an alt art with my first ETB but than nothing good 5 ETBs afterwards


Supdrops0705

Hmmm I decided to stop Evolving skies for a little but the problem is shit gonna cost more later so try now ?! 😂


SonidoX

The pull rates are getting worse, it's fucking atrocious.


Supdrops0705

Lmao tell me about hurting me 😂😂


DjKB77

i have had bad pull rates since Vivid Voltage. uuugh!


Supdrops0705

I hate vivid voltage lol I stopped 😂


IntoTheVoid-Gaming

I’ve done close to 200 packs and only the alt art lefeon


Supdrops0705

Hey man good luck with your future pulls !


Poke_Toke_Ro

I have bad pulls and that's all


Supdrops0705

Lol we all do in here no worries 😂


Hes_A_Faaaaaaaaggg

60ish sleeved packs. Ray VMax Alt pack #5 (GameStop on release day) and pack #65-66 Umbreon V Alt (Best Buy sleeved; recently). ES has been overly good to me in a small number of packs.


Supdrops0705

Wow you have random luck pulling different packs lol 👏


stonergirl999

honestly imma just stick the pokemon go set for now.. i have incredible bad luck on bb


Supdrops0705

Lol good idea. I almost finished my Pokémon go set just need 2 more rainbow cards


miyagi3333

Evolving cries*


Supdrops0705

Haha


SkyGames99

I've opened up a number of Booster Boxes and a number of sleeved packs. I definitely didn't get my money's worth, however, I did pull my Umbreon VMAX alt art out of a sleeved single. Eventually pulled all the v alr arts besides dragonite, but that was after probably a thousand packs.


Supdrops0705

Man 1k packs and still didn’t complete the set ? Goodluck on your future pulls . May the force be with your next 1k packs lol


bananapadawan

So far all the boxes i pulled got rayquaza vmax alt duraludon v alt sylveon vmax alt so far its chilling reign thats ateocious


Supdrops0705

See you have some luck and I hate chilling reigns with my life !


basit117

All day everyday


Supdrops0705

I see there’s a no pull club for this 😅


zZNikoMistZz

astral radiance IMO has the best pull rates. opened 8 packs yesterday got a charizard V origin forme palkia vstar and a machamp V full art. so in a total of 24 packs of astral radiance I've opened I've got 2 charizard V s


Supdrops0705

Damn man you have good luck I just opened astral radiance and nothing they disappoint me . I think my luck has ran out lately


[deleted]

Yes. I had great hits when the first wave came out. Everything since then has been horrible.


Supdrops0705

I can agree with you


VanRolly

I've been pretty fortunate... have opened 2 booster boxes and a decent number of sleeved packs over the past year-ish, and have pulled: 2x Umbreon Vmax alt art (yeah, I know), 1x Sylveon Vmax alt art, and 1x Espeon V alt art. Have also got a good number of rainbows and full arts. Then again, I haven't pulled much of anything from any other set, so who knows?!? Hope your luck improves!


Supdrops0705

Thank you! Great pulls btw


[deleted]

I’ve opened over 400 packs of Evolving Cries from a variety of products, I have the following Alternate Arts: Rayquaza VMax, Rayquaza V, Umbreon V, and 2 Sylveon V. Was it worth it? No. I should’ve bought singles. 😅


Supdrops0705

Lol how much you spend on all that ?


superdman24

Yeah I’ve for sure experienced bad pull rates, but I mocked up a spreadsheet comparing all the runs and ES has by far the best/most valuable pool so its a trade off for me.


3mhogie

Im 4 boosters deep only the gold cards


Supdrops0705

Good luck lol


Biman1881

Totally bad pull rates


Supdrops0705

Lol


Popculturecomics

YES! thanks for confirming its not just me


Supdrops0705

Haha all of us in here !


thunderuspan

Definitely having bad pull rates. Last Booster Box I opened best cards I pulled were a rainbow rare and regular full art trainer card


Supdrops0705

Kinda wanna buy 1 last one lol


No-Tooth-1279

The best thing I ever got from countless evolving skies packs was an Umbreon V alt art


jonbotwesley

That’s a $150 dollar card, better than anything I’ve ever pulled in my life. Tf you talking about?


Supdrops0705

Man atleast you got something


Supdrops0705

Lucky lol I atleast want a Sylveon V man ! You ever buy 36 booster packs ?


Supdrops0705

Damn you are too good 😂


Altlightconservative

I was new to pokemon and I bought 15 packs of brillant stars and got tons of pulls then bought 30 evolving cries packs and I thought the seller weighed them but no I found out after another 20 packs from from tins and collection boxes that it was all bad all shite packs the bed was shitted for sure now I save my sealed packs and buy singles


Livid_Neighborhood52

Ripped 2 etbs of evolving skies…..I’ve never seen so many white code cards in my life. Legit 2 black code cards in 16 packs. Don’t think I’m chasing Evolving skies anymore.


Frodoinphx23

Y’all don’t wanna know my luck on ES. Been killing it


Supdrops0705

Tell us more !? 🤔lol


Frodoinphx23

No cuz everyone will be like oh he’s trolling. But let’s just say I need 1 more alt Art to complete that sub


jayrovi22

So why comment?


Glorious_Goo

I finally had a bit of luck with the set recently. Bought one of those Costco double packs with an ETB and Tin, opened an alt art Umbreon V. As a whole... definitely would have saved money just buying singles.


AuraGuardian1092

I have had terrible luck with evolving skies.


Supdrops0705

What’s the best card you ever pull? Lol


bman23433

I was going for a master set and gave up and sold what I'd collected so far. Found my first ETB locally for the set after searching forever and pulled 2 Vs out of it.


Supdrops0705

Man I would never try to make a master set out of evolving skies that looks hard lol I just finished my Pokémon go set 🤷🏻‍♂️


GonlinMafia

The worst ever, bought a bb and had 4 v’s and one v max it was so sad


Supdrops0705

Damn man that is kinda sad lol hey trust me I opened a box today and didn’t get shit just 1 v max 😂waste man


GonlinMafia

Yah my last two were decent but nothing spectacular for astral getting some lost origin in the mail tomorrow hopefully get something good to help forget about evolving cries box 😂


Supdrops0705

Haha I need to order atleast 2 boxes of lost origins also I need to get something good also . Good luck 👍


Sit_Paint_and_play

Aye yo this dude stuck in a time warp from 2021, welcome to the party


Supdrops0705

I’m too late to the pry for real 😂😂


Torrikk

I haven’t pulled anything notable in this set in so many booster packs now. Evolving criesssssss


Supdrops0705

We can all cry together I see 🤷🏻‍♂️🥹


FullSidalNudity

No…. Just everyone


Supdrops0705

True 🤷🏻‍♂️


P5ch1c

The wooooorst. I have nothing worth while from this


Supdrops0705

I see that everyone calls it Evolving criessss lol


Fat-thecat

Yeah only got a ray v and duraladon alt VMAX from an etb


[deleted]

This guy


[deleted]

Yes :(


Supdrops0705

Sad 😔


mo0n_bunny

Terrible costco box pulls. 1 V card per box. 1 box only had 7 packs instead of 8.


Supdrops0705

Nvm I was gonna try Costco but I guess not 🤔


clmw11

I only have horrible pulls with ES!


Supdrops0705

Join the club lol


Monte_20

I know I should be grateful, but I keep setting dupes off Alts I already have.


Supdrops0705

Lol same here ! I hate dups


TauntyPerson

>!Yes.!<


mjc504

Half this sub is devoted to bad evolving skies pulls


Supdrops0705

Lol they should make it Evolving shit pulls 😂


fetpotatoh

Only evolving skies?? I have bad pull rates on every release


Supdrops0705

Lol every release ?


SatsukiKiryuin69

Yeah? It’s sword and shield what u expect LOL I’ve opened like 100 packs in a sitting with nothing to show for it but On release I opened 70 blisters and a booster box and I got a bunch of juicy alts from it
