View Full Version : 2 packs, 2 primes?

I just used a couple of codes on PTCGO and picked triumphant. Out of two codes, I got two electrode primes. Are rare cards really common on PTCGO? These are the first two packs I've opened, so I don't know how to compare them to anything else.

TCGO can be luckier or less lucky. In real life, there's a set number of chase cards per box, right? But in TCGO, each pack stands by itself. So let's say that TM has 6 primes per box. That's 6/36 or 1/6. So the odds of pulling two primes in a row on TCGO was 1/36. Consider yourself slightly lucky.

As a side note, this is also why people are redeeming like 40+ codes and not seeing a single EX card. For NDE, the odds are 3/36 aka 1/12.

I'm not so sure about this. I've noticed that pulling specific rares seems to be streaky. I've pulled 3 of the same rare card in a row on multiple occasions.

Id have to agree. The pull ratios are very messed up on the TCGO. I redeemed my first 2 booster boxes worth the codes when ND first came out and I pulled something like 6 EXs? Which is about right. Then later I redeemed another 40 something and only got a Kyurem EX and a Zoroark SR.

Re read post #3. It's just luck. Not messed up programming.

Out of 200 codes I didn't open a single Shiny out of ND ;)

PTCGO is weird. I can count the number of EX's I've pulled on one hand, but I've pulled emboar, hydregion, and Zoroark.
