 Hello friends, welcome back to another episode on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee also known as Osiris. Today we are going to be going Zard hunting because we're going to be cracking open this Shining Fates Elite Trainer Box. Hopefully you enjoy this and without further ado, let's crack into this. I can't wait to see what we're going to get. So here we are with the ETB ready to go. I'm going to crack it open. We'll take a look at the box and see what we've got inside. We actually already opened one of these ETBs on stream. So I might upload that if you'd like to see that. We've got some cracking pulls. I'll be able to do that for you guys. So you can see very nice box. The artwork inside the actual box itself is so nice. You've got all the shiny shiny Pokemon and then you get the actual little booklet with all the information in and I'll tell you the cards and all that jazz. So it's quite nice. Always nice to keep and go through and help you out with your collection. But the box in general is very nice textured box. You know, it's not like some of the champions path one wasn't very textured. This feels really nice and here it is. There's the goodies inside. You know, you get all the standard stuff that you get in a normal ETB. You get the nice sleeves. These are really nice sleeves. You know, I don't know if it's just me, but the previous ETBs like especially Rebel Clash, Darkness of Blaze, the sleeves that you got on those sets were terrible like the quality of them was terrible. They didn't really sit right. They felt oversized. I don't know, but these these definitely feel really nice. And that's from my other ETB. So we'll keep them to one side. So we've got something to protect our little cards and there should be a sneaky old Eevee promo card. So there we go. Centering is pretty terrible. It's the thinnest of thin things on the left hand side, but really nice, really nice promo. Yeah, you look how thin that is on one side. This down this side, so thin, but never mind. It's a nice promo. I'm not going to complain. Put this to one side. Yeah, like I say, you get the dice. You get all the other stuff as we shake the camera around and lots of nice things. So the main things that we want to be looking for though, obviously in this box are the packs because you get 10 packs. So really for value for money, if you can pick these up at RRP or MSRP, wherever we are on the world, they're probably the best value for packs, the ETBs, the Pica V boxes. I've opened a few of those already and pulse haven't been great in all honesty. So we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10. Two Zard packs. We're going to be starting with those. We've got our sleeves ready. We'll just bust these open and we'll see what we get for today because obviously the one card that I am really looking for like everyone else at the moment is going to be that that GMax Charizard card. It is the one that everyone's hunting, but there's a lot of good cards in this set. You know, this set has an amazing array of cards. Skyler Full Art is definitely one. Ball Guy is another one that I'm after. We've got some nice polls on stream yesterday. There is a card card for anyone that wants it and we'll go one, two, three, four from the back tap on the back. What do we got steel energy, metal energy to kick us off today. So what are we going to see? We've got Thwacky, Ball Guy, Tropius, Morpeko. I do love the art on Morpeko. I think it's such a nice, it's such a nice card and it's kind of like one of those storytelling cards as well, which is always, always nice to see. Koffing, Glycifer. Can we get a hit in our first pack today? Kacnia, Chuto. Oh, no way. Amazing rare, Russia. I'm there. We go pack number one. We get some magic. What a beautiful card. What a beautiful card. It is insanely nice and behind it. We've got a double hit. We've got a double hit. What we got? Oh, Crobat, V-Max. There we go. Okay, double hit. That is fantastic. So, yeah, what a great way to kick us off today. These ETBs so far have been pretty kind to me. This is my second one. I was only able to manage to actually get two on pre-order, which was a little bit sad. Well, I don't know if I need any more than two. You know, I'm not being greedy. I think I've got another two on pre-order, but they are second wave products. So I'll not be getting them for a little while. So we'll pop these in the back there and we'll move these ones out of the way. But what a great pack for us to kick off with today. Getting into the second one. Going with the Dragapult. Let's see if we can continue this. Can we get another hit for the hits? They do feel very similar to Shiny Star V. You know, Shiny Star V had, obviously, you get a hit in every pack. You have the chance of a God pack, which you don't get with these English ones, which is a little bit of a shame. I always feel with, you know, the God pack is a nice thing to have. You know, it's something that it's like an extra and it would always be nice if they introduced that. I feel, you know, with the English sets, but never mind. We'll see. Psychic energy. Rusted sword. Lotso. Dartrix. Trepanche. Yanma. Koffing. Mopeka. This is the other one. This is the story card, isn't it? I love this. The Shuckle in the background. It's so nice. We've got a horsey. We've got a reverse. Hala. Thwacky and... Delmise V. So not bad. Not bad. Delmise V. Okay. Funny enough, I actually pulled the Delmise V. Such a nice art on this one. I've already pulled this in my other ETB. So that's two for two now. Not too bad. At least we get a hit, which is always good. Cannot complain. And we'll move straight on to our pack number three. So can we keep it three for three? Can we do that? I don't know. I don't know. Can we get three for three? I'm feeling pretty good about this. I feel like we're going to get it three for three. Code card. If anyone wants it. Two, three, four from the back. Fire energy. Here's the sign. Here is the sign. So we've got fire energy. Rusted shield. Rotom. This is another one. I will just pause for a minute because when I was opening the box for the first time on stream, I do love this. You know, Rotom with his like, like nightlight on. He's reading the book of the big Rotom's like, you know, all the forms he could be. I just love it. It just such a nice card. I really love this Rotom card. Flotel. Eevee. Another nice one. Nikkit. Orsi. Snom chilling on a bench. Got more pecker. A rest rare professors research and a Yan mega dirt pack. So nothing in pack three. The streak ends, but we've got plenty of cards to go to keep this streak going friends. So it's cracking to our next one pack number four. What do we got overnight overnight? Here we go. Can I struggle code card? One, two, three, four. Right. Here we go. Fighting energy ball guy. I'd love the full out ball guy. Cramorant, Thwacky, Spinarak, Rallet, Mopeco, Nikkit, Glossifer. Reverse, Hollow, Mopeco and a Volcanian. Okay. Two duds in a row. Two duds in a row. But what are you going to do? Come on. I've got the Zard pack up next. Um, so I'm hoping I'm hoping there's always hope isn't there? It's always like the chase car. It's always the hardest one to get and it's it's made harder. You know, when you see people on social media and you're like, so many people have pulled it because they're the only pictures of people are posting really, you know, the Zard pictures pull the Zard. So you get this false impression that yeah, I know the pull where it's aren't as bad in this set as previous Zard sets, but you do get that kind of sense of like a false sense of security where you're like, yeah, we it's going to be easy to get the Zard. We're going to crack a couple of boxes and we're going to get the Zard, but it's not all it doesn't always work like that. Lightning energy, rusted sword, Dartrix, ball guy, Cacnea, Tutel, Spinarak, Cufant, Glossifer, Reverse, Colour Dreadnought, and wow, Indeedy Hollow. So that's three packs where we've not really had anything. So we've got, what do we got? One, two, three, four, five or half. We're there with only three hits so far. So we got it. We got it up again. We've got it up again, peeps. We've got to up the game. So can we do it? I feel we can. I feel confident. Got a Tutel coming in out of this shiny Dragapult. One, so there is the code card friends. One, two, three, four. And if you use the code card, you get anything good. Let me know down in the comment section. I'd love to hear. Grass energy, rusted sword, Rotom, Eldegoss, Tutel, Orpeko, Cacnea, Horsy, Cufant. Oh, no way. There we go. Shiny Vault, shiny Bevil. That is a beautiful. That is a beautiful card. That is gorgeous. I love this card so much. Okay, we do get a hit. Do we get a double hit though? That is the question. No double hits. We get a boss's orders, but we cannot be too sad about that. We can't ask him too much because that Thevil card is beautiful. I will take that every day. So don't feel like we've got some goodies to get. So we'll get into this next one. It is going to be a Toxricity pack. Toxricity. Don't let us down code card for you all. Two, three, four. Give it a tap on the back. I hope this isn't anything good because look already look at the whitening. This is the thing on some of these packs. You know, the quality is not so good and I don't know whether it's because it's been maybe a rushed print run or just a new print run or I don't know. But I have not as some flaws in the the cards themselves. Darkness energy, team yell, towel, rusted shield, Eldegoss, Snom on a bench, coughing, Cacnea, Glossifer, another Snom on a bench. Is that right? How can I have two of these in one pack? Is that right? Have I? Yeah, but literally two and not even ones are reverse. Why? Why? Why? I've already had like a hundred of these. So it's like I don't need any more. Um, we get a reverse hollow Nikkit and as a root, that was a dead pack, a dead dud. That is a dud pack. You get two Snoms on a bench. That is the duddest of dud packs. Never seen that before. Never seen a jupe card. Obviously when you get the reverse hollow, that's fine. Or you get a hollow, you know, but I've never seen the same card in a pack twice. So COVID out pack. Come on. We've got this is this is three from the end. We need to get some big hits here because it's not looking good for the two, three, four, the ETB right now. The hits are not really that great so far. They're good, but they're not that great. Water, energy, tropius, ball guy, rusted sword, chutele, Yanma, Mopiko, Eevee, Yanma, amazing rare, Yveltal and a Yan mega. Okay. Well, we'll take that that completes my amazing rare set now, which is incredible. Um, I'll take that all day long. I'm still kind of in the mind that we've not got that great pose, you know, we've not got a V max or well, we've got one V max, I guess with the crowbar, but I mean, if you're looking at the polls so far, they're not outstanding out of eight packs. I mean, they're not bad, but not outstanding. So we've got two packs left. Should we keep our Zod pack for the last one? Let's keep the Zod for the last one. We've got to drag a pull up next. And if we need that last pack magic, is there a better pack to have than the Zod? Still got a chance of getting the Zod. We've still got a chance. Code card. Right. One, two, three, four. Give it a tap on the back for a little bit of luck. Brass energy. Gym trainer. Team mail towel. Luxio. Chuttle. Spinner rack. Cufant. Glossifer. It's not on a bench again. Xander Konda. Shiny vault. Oh, that's a beautiful card. Okay. So we get a hit. Do we get a double hit? No double hit. Another young mega, but we do get a shiny Xander Konda, which is always nice to see. It's a beautiful card. It is a beautiful card. Lovely card indeed. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah. And it's got a little bit of bleed on the shiny bleed to the side. Okay, friends. Well, we're down to the last pack. Can we get some last pack magic? As Lee and Hart would say. It normally works for Lee and Hart. So let's see. See, can it work for Lee? Can it work for me? Come on. Let's do this. Cod card for friends. We've got one, two, three, four. Give it a nice little magic rub. We'll see. Water energy. Come on. Let's get a hit. Tropius. Cramorant. Rusted sword. Yanma. Morpico. Cuffing. Glossifer. Cacnia. Reverse, hollow, gym trainer. And our last card of this ETB is going to be a Volcanian. How disappointing. But we've got some nice polls. Let's do a little recap of what we've got so far. So, I mean, out of 10 packs. One, two, three, four, five, six. It's probably quite a weak ETB, but we do get the Crobat V-Max. It's a nice card. The Sander Conda. Shiny. The Thievall Shiny, really nice. We get the two Amazin Rez in Reshiram and E-Beltel, and then we get one V. So, I do feel a little bit like we haven't got a Fuller trainer. We didn't get a shiny Fuller Shiny V or a Shiny V-Max card, which is a little bit unfortunate. So, it's not being the best ETB. Obviously, the other ETB I got was phenomenal compared to this. So, I can't complain too much, but at the same time, I think, yeah, it's just how it goes sometimes, you know? You're not always going to get the best cards. We've got some really nice ones. Can't complain. So, I think all in all, it's been very enjoyable. I do love opening the packs. Of course, of the Shining Fates. I think it's a really great set. I hope you guys, if you've been opening it, have been enjoying it because I think it's an incredible set. And if you have, let me know what your polls have been early doors with this set. Thanks so much for tuning in. We're going to wrap it up there, friends. Have a great rest of your day, and I'll catch you all for another episode on the channel very soon. Have a good one. Bye-bye.
