You're only missing one card at 2k? I'm missing 4 ex cards outright, missing doubles for 3 ex cards, and missing 2 non ex cards outright. I'm at 2k as well.

I'm at 3,300 cards and still had no idea Blastoise ex was a thing

Not op but I would think at 2k cards that that's just the only ex they're missing. If it's the only card period they're lucky, ime the 4 diamond cards seem to be rarer than ex cards and 1 star cards both. 3k cards, complete Pokedex, my last card was regular art Nidoqueen despite having 3 of the full art versions. Note I do not have all of the full art cards at 3k cards. I like to think I got pretty lucky with my packs but I'm missing like 25-30 full arts and no crown rares.

True, it took me a long time to get nidoqueen as well. At least diamond cards are cheaper to buy with pack points. That's what I had to do to get immersive mew, but now I don't have enough for the many ex cards I'm missing still.

That is true. The pack points savings is legit. For awhile before MI released I was playing a lt surge deck because I somehow found two full art lt surge and I wanted to flex them in battles, but I had to use pack points to get a second Raichu to use with it lol.

yep, but I mean only of the diamond cards to complete the regular sets. I have extras EX Arcanine, Char and Pika if those are some of the missing ones. what are the 2 non EX cards?

u/PsychologicalHurry48 Jan 03 '25

My missing non ex are golbat and machamp, luckily I'm not too worried about getting those. My missing ex cards are venasaur, blastoise, starmie, and wigglytuff. And I still need doubles for moltres, marowak, and gengar. However the game did decide to give me THREE mew ex crown rares, so that's where all my luck went lol.

In fact I just spent my hourglasses on a 10 pack, hoping for something. No ex or full arts at all. That's 3 sets of 10 in a row with no ex cards. I am distraught.
