Ascended Heroes continues! This is day three of opening products from the brand new Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes set, and today we’re cracking open the Deluxe Pin Collection, Booster Bundle, and a collectible tin to see what kind of pulls we can get.
In total, we opened 13 packs in this video and combined with the previous openings, we now have a sample size of 37 packs to evaluate the overall hit rates for this set. We pulled several EX cards, an Illustration Rare, and went through all the promos included in these collections. If you’re trying to decide whether Ascended Heroes is worth opening, this should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.
We also talk about chase cards like the Mega Gengar, Mega Dragonite, and the Pikachu cards everyone is hunting for, plus some thoughts on pull rates so far.
Let me know in the comments what your best pull has been from Ascended Heroes so far and if you want to see more openings like the Charizard UPC or even Celebrations products on the channel.
