Yo, guys. It's been awhile since I've done one of these so I figured it was about time. Might be a little while before I can do another one of these since my payouts have dropped a fair bit over the past few weeks. But, I'll continue these when I can since I fucking love opening Pokemon cards and it makes for a fun Steemit post! So, yeah, I'm back again today with 5 packs of Shining Legends for you guys. I'll probably start with the newer set for my next pack opening, as these are starting to get a bit old probably and I'm only missing a handful of cards from this set so duplicates are now becoming pretty regular to deal with. I'm still thirsting hard though for those few shining Pokemon cards that I'm missing. But, enough of my yapping. Lets get into opening these cards and see what I can pull!
Here are the common/uncommon cards. We got a couple of kitties and weird plant monsters, so that's good, I guess. At least I didn't get a bunch of trainer cards since I hate when that happens, and I know that might not be rational, but seriously, fuck getting 3 trainer cards in one pack. Just feels like I'm getting jipped for some reason. Anyways, lets see what I got for the rare/reverse cards!
Heyyy, that's pretty good! Seriously, that isn't half bad. We got ourselves a pretty nice Raichu GX which is the 3rd or 4th time I've gotten that now, and funnily enough I got a reverse holo Pikachu to match it. Just ignore the rainbow he's staring at while he fantasizes about all the sensual touching that Ash probably did to him. Poor, poor electric rat. But, yeah, pretty good start to the pack opening if I don't say so myself. Hopefully we'll continue to get some decent luck throughout. Lets get onto pack 2!
Here are the common/uncommon cards out of this pack. Look, even more kitties! But, this time we've got some weird ass volcano bugs and some alligators hanging around. Happy happy, joy joy! Lets see if maybe we can just get a bunch of cats out of these packs, because it sure fucking seems like that's what is going to happen. I love cats, but god damn, give me something else out of these common cards besides cats constantly. Why am I ranting about cats when I'm talking about Pokemon cards? What the hell is wrong with me? A lot I guess, but whatever. Onto the rare card!
Ah, we got ourselves a little holographic Yveltal and a reverse holo ultra ball. Not the best thing we could pull but at least it is a cool holo. I think it's one of 3 holographic cards though that you're really likely to pull. I've seen people pulling this card a lot out of these packs, and I do think it's super common to get over an EX or anything else that is rare in this set. Kind of annoying, but hey, a holographic is a holographic, so I'll take it. But, okay, lets open up pack 3.
Hey, what do you know! We got more kitties and more plant monsters out of this pack! Who would have guessed. Anyone noticing a pattern here? Clearly they're trying to influence me to go buy catnip for my cat. Those dirty bastards, I knew I couldn't trust them! BURN IT DOWN, BURN IT ALL DOWN TO THE GROUND! What? We can't do that? Well, shit. Go get the cat treats then I guess...Okay, seriously though, lets see what we got for the rare/reverse holo.
Hmm. Well, we didn't get anymore cats or anything, but we did get a really lame grass deer Pokemon that I think is one of the lamest Pokemon around. This is another one that is way too common to get in my opinion, I have gotten this one dozens of times probably and it is basically worthless where I'd be better off using them to help keep homeless people warm by burning them with some pieces of less worthless cardboard. But, we've still got a few packs to go so lets see if I can pull something that isn't trash.
Ah, of course. I shouldn't have even mentioned it because I should have known it was going to happen if I brought it up. Here's the common/uncommon cards with 3 god damn trainer cards. Fuck off with these trainer cards, damn it. Especially when there's only a handful of them in the set, so I always get the same trainer cards. Ugh. At least I got a decent variety of other cards out of the pack, I suppose. Lets see what I can get for the rare and reverse cards.
Oh, well shit! I guess I'll take those three trainer cards if you're willing to give me a pull like this! Looks like I pulled a really awesome rainbow secret rare of Zoroark! This is the card that is worth the most in this set and seems to be the hardest one to pull, yet I have managed to get it twice now. I'll gladly take it for sure! Might even try to trade it for a couple of the other cards that I'm missing from the set, though I really only like to pull cards myself and think it's kind of cheap to just buy a card outright or trade for it. Maybe that's just me being a stubborn weirdo. I dunno. Well, I'm already pretty damn happy with these packs now. I've got one more to open but even if we pull trash I'll be more than glad. Lets pop it open and see though!
Wow, I don't know what happened with this photo that turned it into a blurry potato, but yeah, that's fun. Anyways, here are the barely visible common/uncommon cards. We got ourselves some sentient Pokeballs who are suicidal, and a Totodile that looks like it's trying to pose for a porn shoot or something. Weird ass positioning for a Pokemon. But, lets see what we get for the final rare and reverse out of this pack. Will we get another secret rare? Or, will we get absolute hobo scat in the form of a junk holographic that I've gotten dozens of times?
Oh. Well, then. We didn't get either of those things. We got ourselves a brand new holographic that I haven't pulled yet of Manaphy and a really cool reverse holographic grass energy card. That's a pretty good end to this pack opening I would say! Really happy I got one of the few holographic cards that I was still missing from the set and I'm more than happy to get reverse energy cards since they're pretty neat in their own way. I'd say I definitely got my moneys worth out of these packs, and this was a good note to end on! I'm not sure when I'll come back with another pack opening, but I'll definitely continue to bring these out when I can.
Hope you guys enjoyed checking out some cool cards! Thanks for stopping by!
