The Pokemon TCG’s latest expansion, Twilight Masquerade, has finally launched overseas, but trainers are already struggling with harsh pull rates.
This new expansion includes manygorgeous full artsand strong ex cards, with many holographic and special illustration rares sprinkled among them.
As such, there are plenty ofincredibly rare cards to aim forwhen opening Twilight Masquerade packs. However, TCG fans have already taken to social media to lament their poor luck with this latest expansion.
“New Twilight ETB I get that not all packs will be hits but geez,” said one TCG player onRedditafter opening their Elite Trainer Box.
Amidst a hefty stack of cards, they showcased only a Palafin ex and a Sinistcha ex.
Many offered their condolences on the OP’s poor luck in the comments, while other players shared similar misfortune.
“Opened my ETB today – two Screamtail EXs. I like Screamtail, and like you I get it’s a little ‘gamble’ but JFC man,” said one disappointed trainer.
Another shared, “I hit about the same today. TWM has been BRUTAL.”
The nature of Pokemon card pack openings is that buyers never know what they’re going to get. That makes the thrill of pullingan extremely rare cardall the more exciting. Yet some TCG fans think US packs are becoming a bit too stingy as of late, with many mentioning thelackluster pull rates of Temporal Forces.
