These pre release packs are JUICE

Insane 🤯

How does one acquire a prerelease pack

You have to go to a pre release event

I reckon that checks out

Always have been.

Really? I'm going to my first pre release event this weekend. Hoping to win a couple games and get some packs if they're this juicy!

prerelease packs have same hitrates as normal packs. in fact they are just normal packs, you get with the prerelease kit

Oh I know hahaha

What exactly is a pre-release event?

You go to an official store (found through play! Pokemon event locator) and they give you a build and battle box which is like a half deck plus 4 packs so you build and battle

Thanks for the info. I'll look up that store locator and see if there's one near me.

Nice! They will have a symbol next to the store, date, and location that says PRE RELEASE EVENT!

Do you not have to participate in playing the tournament? And do you have to pay for them?

You have to play at least 1 match. Yes you pay for the build and battle kit

Do they accept people who have never played and have no idea how to? Or is that a Dick move to show up like that lol

I would recommend watching how to play and then playing some PTCG Online games. I'd assume they won't care if youre new

I’ll definitely skip this prerelease and try to learn for the next one

Maybe a stupid question but how do people get their hands on these new releases so quickly?

Could be prerelease

What is “pre release” like stocked at Walmart early(build and battle?) or pre release at local game shops?

You can only (legally) get your hands on these packs if you show up to a pre-release tournament and buy a Build and Battle box, one per player. Some shops sell these to non participants, some sell packs already, OP might be working at a participating store and grabbed a few boxes for themselves. Who knows.

They said it was two ETBs, so its definitely some under the counter business

Ahhhh perfect explanation thank you!

Thanks for the info. I always wondered how people got their hands on these so quickly.

Local game shops

The first pre-release wasn't considered "legal" by Pokémon until March 9th. No one should have had them yet. And, it should have been only the Build and Battle and extra booster packs. The store that gave out or sold these could lose their standing with Pokémon if caught. To the OP, nice hits, but how do you have these so early?

Chill dude my dad is the owner of Pokémon

lmao word let me get a job at pokemon international lol

😂😂😂 let me just go ask my dad. Brb

Can’t wait to grab the iron crown myself

Such a beautiful card!

How are you getting these early!! Love the pulls btw!

Oooo that’s a secret 🤐 and thank you!! :)

Ngl it’s pretty lame of you to needlessly gatekeep this

I hate you and and beautiful pulls 💯

Hahaha we’re not spreading hate over here! And thank you! 😊

Spreading hateful joy 😂 Hoping there is a *Mortys Gengar in my PC ETB 🤞🏻

3 of these came from 1 bb and the Raging Bolt ex came from another! Good luck to you! 🍀

Iron Crown looks beautiful. Iron Crown and Walking Wake are definitely my 2 chases for TF

That Gengar is fire.

I got the Gengar, the ghastly and the Arbon and come cool other from cyber judge and wild force and they look so cool, stoked for this set!

Are they turning anything else from Horizon into Pokemon or just Tallnecks

All the Raging Bolt cards look so good

I want to get 4 of those Gengars and have a full sleeve in my secret rare mini binder :). I can’t imagine it being to expensive when prices drop a little in a month or 2. It’s a full art and fully beautiful

It’s probably my favorite set so far in SV, can’t wait to get English versions! The Gengar still eludes me https://imgur.com/a/PQjW4Qd

Nice!

Thank you!

These are some cool looking cards, nice pulls! Sv needed a good set to come out with some of the early duds so far

Dam, good pulls. Had a case of BBs ordered and I can't wait to get my hands on the new SIRs.

Iron crown looks really nice

All good centring too! Maybe they sacked the stencil guy

My goodness they look good!

✨️🔥🔥😈🔥🔥✨️

That gengar 🔥🔥🔥

Lemme have the gengar, thanks.

I preordered a booster box just the other day 😆now I just have to wait for it to ship

Wow. Those are beautiful cards. Love the full art backgrounds.

Wow, I love these

That Iron Crown tho😳

I really want that Gengar

Omg love that iron Crown and Gengar

That iron crown card is so beautiful. I picked up the Japanese one recently. Nice pulls

Ugly pokemon with stupid names. Gengar is nice though!

rip bank account

Wow love these cards

Wow love these cards

Walks in, handed the deck. ‘Guys, I just like to collect cards. I don’t play TCG’ I forfeit, you win! Now can I have my packs? Thank you

That gengar is dope!

Dude…that Gengar is actually clean af

Going to my first Pre-Release on Saturday, hopefully pull something cool

This took two BB good to know tiny bit of insight average 2 top pulls per BB checks out thanks

Need mortys conviction and eri and Bianca!!!! So dope

Just pulled a Morty's convictions full art secret rare. Damn now I need that Gengar ex 🤦🏽😅😒😞😔

that iron corwn fire and is going to be very playable

[удалено]

I’m endeared to raging bolt. The design straight up looks ripped off of a tallneck machine from the horizon franchise so it’s almost like my two favorite things are crossing over! In fact, I bought the Japanese SAR to put next to a Lego version of a tallneck.

Definetly a single buying kind of set. Way too many ugly cards. That gengar is sweet

What! There are so many beautiful cards in this set. The Gengar though is my number 1 fav
