Hey Gamers!
If you were not aware before, I am a huge fan of Pokémon; especially the Trading Card Game (TCG).
Today, I purchased a Vivid Voltage Elite Trainer Box from GameStop. I decided to open up the packs, see what I get, and write about it for you interested readers.
The Vivid Voltage Elite Trainer Box consists of:
- 8 Pokémon TCG Vivid Voltage booster packs.
- 65 card sleeves featuring Gigantamax Pikachu
- 45 Pokémon TCG Energy cards
- A player’s guide to the Vivid Voltage expansion
- A Pokémon TCG rulebook
- 6 damage-counter dice
- 1 competition-legal coin-flip die
- 2 acrylic condition markers
- A collector’s box to hold everything, with 4 dividers to keep it organized
- A code card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online
In the Vivid Voltage expansion set, my main goal is to find the Secret Rare Pikachu VMAX card.
I am also looking for any Pikachu card in this set, as well as the Ampharos.
I love electric-type Pokémon, and Pikachu and Ampharos are probably my two favorite.
NOW...THE MOMENT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR....THE BOOSTER PACKS OPENING!
I have 8 Booster Packs to open and I have high hopes to pull a Pikachu!....
However, the best card I ended up pulling was only a Steelix.
I like Steelix, but it is disappointing to not pull at least one Pikachu.
After the Elite Trainer Box, I still had one Darkness Ablaze booster pack that I bought separately.
I ripped it open and I actually pulled a full-art Pokémon Breeder's Nurturing card and a rare Flygon reverse holographic.
In all honesty, at this point I didn't care what I pulled, I was just happy to get something!
However, it is actually a cute card. I love Full-Art cards!
It wasn't much of a haul, but such is the life of a Pokémon card collector; there are a lot of hits and misses.
I may end up just trying to purchase the specific Pikachu cards I want on eBay. Sometimes it actually does save money.
Like and Comment if you enjoyed this post and I will think about doing another Booster Pack Opening article!
See ya!
