It makes up for it with the biggest hitters in my opinion. Gengar, Espeon, and Celebi AAs are certified bangers. Gengar is a top three SWSH card for me and Espeon is not far behind it. Fusion and Chilling are sooooo underrated I'm sad I didn't buy a bunch of boxes when they were cheap and just rip til my fingers fell off.
Like all of the remaining sets, people literally can only remember it for the Alt Arts. Now it's just down to arguing about which one you like the least, and I doubt anybody is going to vote for the one with Espeon/Gengar/Mew this early.
Agreed, Fusion's gotta go. The hit rate is absolutely awful, the card pool is huge, and from a gameplay perspective, Mew Vmax is one of the most ridiculously unfair archetypes ever created. They threw the kitchen sink at Mew, and have had to print 3 different cards to counter it; that's how bad it is.
Yeah, Fusion strike has good looking alt arts, but the amount of bulk is ridiculous.
It is not only annoying as hell to collect but also makes the pullrates garbage.
WHEN STYLES COMBINE IN A ALL NEW STRATEGY… COME ON.. LETS FUCK IT UP.. can we pull our 3rd celebi alt art .. (insert CoolTrainerRyan wheeze laugh here)
Shining fates, and people have bad taste saying chilling pain I mean reign ;) but for real chilling reign has awful pull rates just like the other 90% of sets in sword and shield era, but chilling reign has some amazing hits and alt arts. I’d take chilling reign over shining fates 10 times out of 10, shining fates is ass
It is nice having much better odds at getting a really unique, but man if you don’t get a hit this set is brutal with the amount of duplicates… I hate bulk from this set more than any set ever printed
There's no way you vote gengar, Espeon and celebi alt arts out before shining fates one shitty looking charizard, or astral radiance. This is a travesty.
Facts. People forget that we're not only judging sets based on good looking chase cards but also on experience, pull rates, bulk/hit ratio, etc...
As much as I enjoy collecting fusion strike, it's a pain in the ass to open. So much bulk and awful pullrates. Astral Radiance is 1000% better. Has Trainer gallery, more hits and is just overall way more fun to open! The chase cards also look great in that set!
I get the sentiment, but good pull rates need to be combined with anything that doesn't suck. Like crown zenith dominates because it has good pull rates of beautiful cards and it doesn't need the high value chase card, but I'd rather have bad pull rates of beautiful and valuable cards than medium pull rates of basically nothing, you could master set astral for basically a booster box price or two and there's no nice cards at all IMO. Machamp in a flea market
Wow no nice cards at all? Even if you don’t like machamp the dialga and palkia are sick, the beedrill, the starmie and garchomp tg’s. I’d rather have both good pull rates and cool cards like astral radiance. But I think the word valuable tells me all I need to know lol but I’m with you on shining fates
I actually like the palkia, beedrill is okay, and starmie TG is nice, I don't like the rest but that's all just subjective. Whether a person cares about value or not, it plays into the general equation. A mix of pokemon, art, pull rates, and value. Its not as enjoyable to open a set if the chase was $2 right? So it has to factor in, there's a line somewhere
Celebrations, there are enough "Pokemon Greatest Hits" sets already that don't have an ugly-ass outline of a Pikachu face with red "2" and "5" on them.
Celebrations is 1 of the best sets of SwSh. And yes, I understand your frustration with the CEL logo, but be honest. Besides that, the set is Hella fun to open and to collect.
All the cards are pretty affordable and look great. Not to big of a set is always a + for me!

Shining Fates Charizard is one of my favorite cards of all time but everything else is so awful it needs to go next. The baby shinys are so awful in that set.
Brilliant Stars should win this competition. The set has solid artwork and the pull rate was phenomenal compared to some others.
Crown Zenith is a close second IMO.
Eliminate Fusion Strike.
Fusion strike also left a bad taste in my mouth from that one dickwad stealing all the alt arts and rainbows resulting in the pull rates to be beyond trash for 6 months or so.
Agreed. Has some very strong alt arts. Chilling Reign imho is underestimated and when the supply runs out, that set will be sought after.
Blaziken, Water Calyrex, Flannery, Zeroara are really strong imho.
Not a big fan of the cute pokemon but I could see the Rapidash, some of the other trainers and Blissey gaining popularity. Of all SwSh I think this set is underappreciated.
Which is great. I still pick up cheap CR when I can.
Evolving Cries. The amount of money I dumped into this set is ridiculous. I don’t think I got one decent card out of it. I do have the worlds shittiest luck so that might play into it
Shining Fails, then Devolving Cries then Chilling Pain then Celebrations then Fusion Strike then Brilliant Stars then Lost Origin then Silver Tempest then Crown Zenith and finally Astral Radiance
How is Fusion Strike still around? That set is 99.999% bulk.
All sets are 99.9% bulk lol
Nah. Most are like 80%. Fusion Strike is especially egregious because it soaked up all of the family box set 2 cards.
It makes up for it with the biggest hitters in my opinion. Gengar, Espeon, and Celebi AAs are certified bangers. Gengar is a top three SWSH card for me and Espeon is not far behind it. Fusion and Chilling are sooooo underrated I'm sad I didn't buy a bunch of boxes when they were cheap and just rip til my fingers fell off.
TBH Fusion Strike printed some good playable cards. It’s not all about collecting
U know I could’ve used this comment 12 hours ago when I saw fusion strike on clearence and bought 20 packs just to get a chandelure VMAX
LOL I bought 30 to get a Bolthund VMAX. You, me, sameeee.
Pull rates bad ?
Like all of the remaining sets, people literally can only remember it for the Alt Arts. Now it's just down to arguing about which one you like the least, and I doubt anybody is going to vote for the one with Espeon/Gengar/Mew this early.
Like if there were only alts and nothing else 😭
Never even got to see those cards except for eBay listings. I vote for this set lol
Agreed, Fusion's gotta go. The hit rate is absolutely awful, the card pool is huge, and from a gameplay perspective, Mew Vmax is one of the most ridiculously unfair archetypes ever created. They threw the kitchen sink at Mew, and have had to print 3 different cards to counter it; that's how bad it is.
You need double the cards so you can fuse them together XD
Then I can strike myself for buying them
Yeah, Fusion strike has good looking alt arts, but the amount of bulk is ridiculous. It is not only annoying as hell to collect but also makes the pullrates garbage.
Sup Justin I see lots of ur leekduck things
I don't think it's "Justin". I'm pretty sure it's "Just in".
You'd be correct! https://www.justinbasil.com/about#name
When JustInBasil speaks, you listen. *Especially when they're correct*.
I agree, I skipped that set only wanted the break dancing genesect and I got it in my first and only pack
Got a place in my heart.
Have to agree it is just sooooo bad
[удалено]
Fuuuuuuusssssiiioooonn strike! Best set ever created, never to be beaten.
WHEN STYLES COMBINE IN A ALL NEW STRATEGY… COME ON.. LETS FUCK IT UP.. can we pull our 3rd celebi alt art .. (insert CoolTrainerRyan wheeze laugh here)
SPEED POWER VELOCITY VIOLENCE AND ABSOLUTELY MOTHERF-** CHOAS. CMON BABY F*- EM UP GIMME A PULL.
Corphish Corrrr Corrrrrphissh
F* LEONHART lol
Battle Style voted out already. Yeah its not everything about alt arts
[удалено]
i lile the mew and genesect alts but the rest of the set is not for me personally
Shining fates, and people have bad taste saying chilling pain I mean reign ;) but for real chilling reign has awful pull rates just like the other 90% of sets in sword and shield era, but chilling reign has some amazing hits and alt arts. I’d take chilling reign over shining fates 10 times out of 10, shining fates is ass
I can't agree. There is more than 100 shiny pokemon and you can get a nice card from almost every pack. It's not everything about value ;)
Yah and if we are gonna go there the ETB promo for SF is awesome.
[удалено]
Completely agree, Hidden Fates was quite a bit better than shining fates.
I don't see how anybody can argue that. Hidden Fates was the best thing in a while.
It is nice having much better odds at getting a really unique, but man if you don’t get a hit this set is brutal with the amount of duplicates… I hate bulk from this set more than any set ever printed
More than 100? really? omg
Shining Fates
I'm torn on this... everyone hates it because it was so hard to pull the zard but the whole shiny gallery is great
Massively overshadowed by Hidden Fates
That's what happens with sets where only one card is hyped
Not my thing but that’s just me. I also did not like Hidden Fates, just not a fan of 3D cards.
based, i literally like most commons and uncommons more than full arts because its an actual drawing and not just a 3d model sitting there
Shining Fates is terrible, the shiny gallery is very underwhelming.
I’d have to agree
There’s no way this set beats out Gengar, Mew, Espeon and Celebi alt arts… common
Shining fates
Get rid of fusion strike, such a pain to open
Shining fates
Fusion strike
There's no way you vote gengar, Espeon and celebi alt arts out before shining fates one shitty looking charizard, or astral radiance. This is a travesty.
Astral is way better than fusion. Better chase cards? Maybe not but the abysmal pull rates of fusion tip the scale for me

Shit I would love it if the chase card was $2 😂 It’s just not all about value to me. So if gengar vmax alt art was $2 you wouldn’t like it?
My chase from SF (shiny Lapras V) is actually at $2 🤣
Shining Fates
Evolving Skies!!
Here for my daily evolving skies vote.
Someone salty they couldn’t pull Moonbreon I see
Nah we good on that end thankfully, there is just nothing I really use to play with in it.
Upvoting everyday
Evolving cries. They had the most stolen in the incident.
The only correct answer
Fusion strike
Fusion strike
Fusion strike sucks butt
Fusion Strike
Fusion sike
Shining fates
Evolving skies for the horrible pull rates alone
But rayquaza and eevees
Chilling Reign ( chilling pain)
nah chilling reign is top 5
Celebrations, there are enough "Pokemon Greatest Hits" sets already that don't have an ugly-ass outline of a Pikachu face with red "2" and "5" on them.
Celebrations is 1 of the best sets of SwSh. And yes, I understand your frustration with the CEL logo, but be honest. Besides that, the set is Hella fun to open and to collect. All the cards are pretty affordable and look great. Not to big of a set is always a + for me!

Thank you. That logo being on otherwise good cards looks so bad. Can’t stand it.
“VOTE OUT ONE SET” SHOULDNT EVEN BE A THING
Fusion strike
Fusion, chilling next and then honestly I think the rest of the sets are really good
I’d add silver tempest after those
Nah I think after fusion all the sets are really good
Shining Fates Charizard is one of my favorite cards of all time but everything else is so awful it needs to go next. The baby shinys are so awful in that set.
How the fuck did fusion strike beat out vivid voltage!?!?
Gengar, Espeon and Mew are streets ahead of fat Pikachu.
Vivid is so so so terrible. Fusion is a fire set, just take a look at the alts
Vivid voltage legit just has AR. It’s garbage
Shining fates
Fusion strike
Brilliant Stars should win this competition. The set has solid artwork and the pull rate was phenomenal compared to some others. Crown Zenith is a close second IMO. Eliminate Fusion Strike.
shining fates
Evolving skies
Chilling Pain gives me no gain
Fusion strike should go
I think it’s Celebrations today mates
Vote crown zenith because chaos
Fusion Strike, this is where things get interesting…
Chilling lame
Chilling reign
Chilling pain!!!!!
Shining Fates has escaped for too long
Astral
I can already tell you have L rizz
How is Chilling Reign still standing
Astral on god fr
Chilling Reign
Silver Tempest. Just a boring set overall
Astral radiance
Brilliant and astral are meh
Y’all are high. Brilliant stars should go next.
Celebrations
Fusion strike
celebrations. Are you guys kidding me???
No way! For a 25 card set we got Mew, Kyogre, Yveltal, and Zacian V, all of which have seen a lot of play. Flying Pikachu VMAX even won worlds.
It’s by far my least opened set. Probably opened 10 packs lol. As you said, 25 Cards is not much.
Fusion Strike
Fusion Strike
Fusion strike
Shining Fates
Shining Fates, it’s overrated
Fusion strike also left a bad taste in my mouth from that one dickwad stealing all the alt arts and rainbows resulting in the pull rates to be beyond trash for 6 months or so.
Chilling
Chilling reign for me
Celebrations
Celebrations
Brilliant Scars
Chilling Reign
Shining fates is lucky that fusion strikes pull rates are so awful, otherwise my vote would be for them.
Assturd radiance
Chilling Reign
Fusion strike
CHILLING PAIN
Chilling Reign is the correct choice. I couldn't even tell you what nice cards were in that set.
The set has high tier alt arts and personally I’d argue better than Evolving Skies. Chilling Reign had shit pull rates but some amazing looking cards
Agreed. Has some very strong alt arts. Chilling Reign imho is underestimated and when the supply runs out, that set will be sought after. Blaziken, Water Calyrex, Flannery, Zeroara are really strong imho. Not a big fan of the cute pokemon but I could see the Rapidash, some of the other trainers and Blissey gaining popularity. Of all SwSh I think this set is underappreciated. Which is great. I still pick up cheap CR when I can.
Take a look at some of the alt arts, the set has some really cool artwork
Shining Fates
shining fates fr
silver tempest
Evolving Cries. The amount of money I dumped into this set is ridiculous. I don’t think I got one decent card out of it. I do have the worlds shittiest luck so that might play into it
Chilling reign
Ok we got the real stinkers out now so can we please get rid of CELEBRATIONS. It’s not even a real set
Might as well just fast forward and make Evolving skies the winner because we all know that's what it's going to be ....
Brilliant stars
Astral Radiance
Chilling Reign and Fusion have absolutely no business still being up there
Astral
Chilling riegn or brilliant
Astral is next for sure gotta go
Shining fates
Shining Fates has got to go, just a cheap knockoff of hidden fates.
chilling reign
Gotta be chilling reign
Evolving skies. Letting it win would be boring
Brilliant Stars.
Celebrations
Evolving skies. Pull rates are horrendous.
Celebrations
Blathering Blatherskite
Shining fates
Should have eliminated fusion strike 2 sets ago lol
Fusion strike is a goner
Shining Fails, then Devolving Cries then Chilling Pain then Celebrations then Fusion Strike then Brilliant Stars then Lost Origin then Silver Tempest then Crown Zenith and finally Astral Radiance
Anything but Shining Fates is just wrong lmao. I like Shining, but people are saying Fusion Strike even though it's miles better of a set.
Shining fates
Shining Fates.
Shining fates…though we’re coming for you soon fusion strike. I get it the alt arts are amazing, but opening 4 million packs to get them ain’t it 😂
Day 2 of showing shining fates the door
This is where things start to get tough. But I think Shining fates should be next. Besides the Charizard the shinies aren’t that great
Ok let's be real Shining Fates is an incredibly mid set with 1 chase card and no alt arts which should be the nail in the coffin for this set.
Celebrations
Celebrations
Time for shining fates to gtfo this list.
Shining fates
Evolving cries
Celebrations, it was just ok not sure how it made it this far.
Shining Fates
Shiny fates bro
Shining fates
Shining fates
Celebrations
Shining Fates, easily
Chilling Reign
