The most elusive card you can never seem to pull?
Whatever set you are currently working on there is always one particular card that no matter how many boosters you open you just manage to miss so just wondering what is your unlucky break?
I've heard of people open like 3 booster boxes of the same set and miss out on one vital card holo, how unlucky can you get! |
Lately, it's been EX cards in general. :(
With XY in particular, I bought 30-some packs before pulling a single EX. |
Mewtwo EX from Legendary Treasures :(
|
I have always had the problem of finding the cards I need for a deck at the time, then I have to find people to trade and I live in a small town with no trainers and it sucks
|
I always pull the cards I need (Sometimes I even get cards I didn't know I need)
In one of my earlier posts I said I have a Yveltal deck. I bought a tin, I got 2 normal yveltal and the promo. I proceeded to get a zoroark, so I now own a Yveltal/Darkrai/Zoroark deck. |
I'd say Vivillon, I've never pulled one and I've opened about 140 XY packs. This includes reverses also.
|
Scratch what I said earlier. Pyroar is the most elusive card. As a gift, a friend bought me an entire case (6 Booster Boxes, 216 Packs) not a single Pyroar. I will have a fun time over the next couple weeks...

Very funny, not the Pyroar I want.
|
I've opened up a fair share of Base Set Booster Packs I don't remember ever pulling a Charizard, Blastoise or Venusaur.
I may of opened up a Blastoise one but it may of been a Poliwrath i just remember it was a water pokemon and it definitely wasn't Gyarados. |

[QUOTE=donavannj;8375903]Wait, they're two different Pyroar? I should really have paid more attention when I opened mine. My cards are starting to blur together now! D:
[QUOTE=donavannj;8375903] Wow, I thought you were making a joke, anyways, the "good" Pyroar is FLF #20, the other Pyroar is XY #26 and is only obtainable through the Pyroar box. |

Talonflame has been eluding me for quite a while now.
|
If you keep trying you will get him
|
I agree, then again it seems I am a good pull magnet lately.
|
No matter how many booster packs (XY) I open up, I can never seem to get a Delphox. -_-

Mega Charizard Y. x_x
I've pulled seven of the Mega Charizard X, 6 regular and 1 SR. I've yet to pull one Y. I've traded for the two that I needed for my deck. It's crazy. |

Because of Vivillon's two coloration's to the same set number, it makes it twice as easy to pull a vivillon than any other holo rare (unless you are opening French cards) |

For whatever reason, I couldn't pull Furfrou holo from XY Base Set. I bought a booster box, both trainer boxes and various other booster packs and never came up with it. I was starting to think it was a pretty rare card, until I bought it off Ebay for $1.75...

Entei EX, i have opened endless Dark Explores packs and have had zero luck in pulling a regular or full art. It's one of about 5 cards from the set i don't own and i always seem to opt to buy 4 or 5 packs rather then to just buy the card. LOL at this point i know if i ever do pull it, it will be super exciting so i guess i will continue on making myself suffer in the process.
|
Any FA in general. I've only ever pulled Thundurus FA from Emerging Powers aside from the Radiant Collection FA's, and it sucks. I've been collecting for almost a year, and to sit here with only so many ultra rare pulls, it's a shame.
|
In Flashfire, I need a few holos still. But to me, it's odd that I only need one more non-holo rare and that is Walrein. After dozens and dozens of packs, I still have not gotten one.
|
In Plasma Freeze I think my most elusive holos were the first ones I pulled and the last.
I've opened almost 200 Plasma Freeze packs and opened two Dragonite Holos in the first 4 packs I ever opened, then got one more holo and 1 reverse. That's it. 3 Dragonite Holos in 190 packs. It took almost 160 packs to get a Metagross Holo, while I've pulled 3 Metagross Reverses. For full arts and ex's I've pulled 4 Professor Juniper Full Arts, but 1 Ghetsis FA, 2 Latios Full Arts, 4 Latios Ex, but only 1 Latias ex and no Latias Full Arts. |
I've never pulled any FA trainers aside from the FA Lysandre I pulled last week. I've opened so many packs of Boundaries Crossed and absolutely nothing. I've traded for two Colress, one N, one Juniper, and one Cheren.
|
Back when Neo Genesis was new, I probably spent damn near $100 of my allowance trying to pull a Pichu. I had previously bought a Japanese prerelase one from the Nostalgia Zone, but I could never get that English one. 8 year old me got so frustrated that I'd sometimes rip up the cards if it wasn't what I wanted.
