Hello everyone,
Quick synopsis: Curious if someone can tell me odds on this story, since its pretty damn crazy.
--
This is probably an odd first post for someone but me and my girl were so blown away by yesterday that I was curious if anyone might be able to tell me what the (astronomical) odds of this happening are.
So yesterday, we were out and about and were at a Target. We didnt expect to see anything new, as Plasma Blast doesn't officially come out until Tuesday. But we were surprised to see this target already had all of the stuff out. Theme decks and booster packs, as well as a lot of promo packs.
So we decided to get some. We bought the remaining Plasma Blast boosters that they had (6) and then bought 2 promo packs. These promo packs included a coin, either a Krookodile Holo or a Blaziken Holo, and a single Plasma Blast booster pack.
Now, that meant a total of 8 packs. I almost originally bought one of the promos with the Krookodile, but decided I liked the Blaziken better, and since we have separate collections, I'd need one too. So this meant I actually went back and grabbed a different promo pack from the one I originally grabbed.
So we left the store with 6 Plasma Blast booster packs in their fancy packaging, and 2 Promo packs with Blaziken holos. Once in the car, we decided to open the promo packs.
This is where it gets interesting. She opened hers first and had a great pull; Genesect EX. We were pretty stoked at this point, seeing as our first pull from the set was an EX. I was jealous, and even commented by saying "Wow, let me just go open my crap pack now." Because , well odds were I wouldn't get anything good. But upon opening the pack, I find my pull to be a full art Palkia EX.
So this left us pretty darn excited, since our first 2 packs were awesome pulls. Very awesome pulls. But we decided to take the other 6 packs home and open them later.
Fast forward a few hours and we're opening our packs. The packs had been shuffled around a bit in a bag and we both just grabbed three randomly and opened one by one. I opened first. So this was my 2nd ever pack of Plasma Blast.
I pulled a Palkia EX. I lost it at this point. What are the odds of this happening? 1st pack Full Art Palkia EX. 2nd pack, Palkia EX. It was crazy in my mind.
Then she opened her pack...... Full Art Jirachi EX.
We were both stunned. First four packs, and we already have 2 full art EXs and 2 EXs. The rest of the packs were fairly uneventful.
So, anyways, I share this story not to brag at all. But just because I'm curious if I should have bought a lottery ticket yesterday instead and tried to hit that $400 million XD.
Im curious if anyone who's more knowledgable at pull rates knows what the odds of this happening are?
TL;DR We had some mindblowing pulls, and were curious on the odds.
