WANT TO SEE MORE SETS?
I am aware of the demand for more sets! The biggest encouragement for me
to add more is for the site to reach a wider audience. I'd love to add
more, the bigger the audience gets; so
share the site with friends who would enjoy
it. If there are particular ones you want to see arrive first
email me. However, I
won't add any that are currently
being monetized
by the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online. I'm strictly interested in
historical preservation, and re-creating the experience of opening these
packs.
FOUND A BUG?
Please share the details and circumstances of what you experienced on
Reddit, or
email me directly
and I'll address the issue as quickly as possible. Be sure to include
which browser and platform you were using. Bonus points if you include a
screenshot.
WANT TO REQUEST A NEW FEATURE OR RULE?
Many of the features on the simulator, such as the same set button and the
zoom ability, were user requests. Let me know what you'd like to see, and
I'll see if I can add it.
If you're submitting a new card distribution rule, check the list
below to see what's already been implemented. Again, the best place to
reach me currently is on
this subreddit
or
by email.
PROBABILITY
- Holographic cards: 1/3 packs
-
Secret rare (Team Rocket): 1/60 packs
-
Shining Pokemon (Neo Revelation): 1/12 packs
-
Shining Pokemon (Neo Destiny): 1/18 packs
RARITY DISTRIBUTION
Image key:
= rare
=
uncommon
= common
=
energy
=
unknown
When shuffle is turned off, cards will always appear in the following
order:
- Base: 7 commons (2 of which are energy), 1 rare, 3 uncommons
- Jungle: 7 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons
- Fossil: 7 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons
- Base 2: 3 uncommons, 5 commons, 1 rare, 2 energy
- Team Rocket: 7 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons
- Gym Heroes: 6 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons, 1 energy
- Gym Challenge: 6 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons, 1 energy
- Neo Genesis: 1 energy, 1 rare, 3 uncommons, 6 commons
- Neo Discovery: 3 uncommon, 1 rare, 7 commons
- Neo Revelation: 7 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons
- Neo Destiny: 7 commons, 1 rare, 3 uncommons
-
Expedition Base: 5 commons (holo pull replaces 5th common), 1 reverse
holo (any rarity), 1 regular rare, 2 uncommons
-
Aquapolis: 5 commons (holo pull replaces 5th common), 1 reverse holo
(any rarity), 1 regular rare, 2 uncommons
-
Skyridge: 5 commons (holo pull replaces 5th common), 1 reverse holo
(any rarity), 1 regular rare, 2 uncommons
These patterns have been extracted from numerous YouTube booster pack
openings.
DUPLICATES
Duplicates have been prevented in the simulator, since they aren't meant
to occur in physical packs. In the original 11 sets, it is possible to
pull two of the same pokemon, but not with the identical art or card
number. In the expedition base set, it is possible to pull three of the
same pokemon with the same art and card number, but of different rarity
tiers: holographic, reverse holographic, and regular rare.
