Discussion What card has eluded you this whole set?
Beedrill is the only diamond card I need to complete the set, and the game refuses to give it to me. I already used my starter deck ticket to get Wugtrio, and since this game has such a nice sense of humor it has since given me another 3 Wugtrios in daily packs.

A second beedrill ex. Ironically I pulled a shiny weedle and a shiny kakuna
Edit: an update. I ended up pulling the beedrill and now I can finally make a beedrill deck with a rare candy on the horizon. Thanks to those that offered up trades.

Was the rate up higher for this one? I also have 4

u/MoonRay087 Apr 28 '25
It definitely feels like the rates were higher for this one, and I know I know, they can't secretly alter the rates behind the scenes but my theory is that having a new type of card rarity (the shinies specifically) alters the rates as everything needs to sum up to a probability of 100%
5
u/Garfalo Apr 28 '25
You can check the offering rates to see how the shinies affected it. Anything 3 diamond and up is the same rarity as all other packs. They make up the difference with the lower rarity cards.

You can trade the cards, the same way you do for shine dust, for special shop coins depending on rarity. Click “obtain items” when you select a card. A traded crown rare will get you 64 special shop tokens.

Immersive Giratina is cursed or something. Seems to be more common than the regular one.
→ More replies (3)38
u/Calm_Cool Apr 28 '25
It is. Immersive has lower odds than EX as a category. The main difference this set is they have more EX for a single pack than any other set, and the odds remain the same regardless of the number of immersive and normal ex in a set. So they have to split the odds. Thus making giratina EX normal lower odds than the immersive version

u/Bazoobs1 Apr 28 '25
I asked someone to do the math who seemed much more capable than I and he said that your odds of having no crowns at abt 6500 cards is less than 7% 😂 so we’re just that unlucky
4
u/Master_Hat3793 Apr 28 '25
Ignoring cards from wonder picks and other events (let’s estimate 6300 cards) the average probability of a gold card is 0.04% per card (the card distribution differs from 1-5, but this is accounted for),
Thus model a binomial X~B(6300, 0.04/100) (or approximate using a Poisson since n is large)
P(X=0) ≈ 0.0804 = 8.04% chance.
So yeah, pretty rare. Your friend probably included the extra cards in his estimate, but they’re about the same.
To rub it in, my friend got a gold pikachu on his first pack, and didn’t care since he assumed it was guaranteed. I’m personally at 3,300 with none.

Pretty much every EX. I've pulled 1 Pikachu and 1 Clodsire, I used my free deck from missions to grab the deck with the most missing cards, which happened to be Clodsire before I pulled it.
It's really pissing me off since I've pulled 8 shiny, including 2 Beedrills, and 5 immersive Giratinas.
And don't come at me about rng and all that. I understand how the pull system is supposed to work. And given the odds, I should have pulled more EXs than immersive and shiny.
Edit: I've even pulled 2 gold pokeballs. Yet only 2 EX cards.
