Pokémon TCG: Paldean Fates Booster Bundle & Sticker Pack Opening

The Pokémon TCG has released the new special expansion Scarlet & Violet - Paldean Fates featuring Shiny Pokémon. Let's open some up.

The Pokémon Company International was kind enough to supply us with new Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates products so we can give you an early peek of this latest special set. These products include a Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates Elite Trainer Box, Tech Sticker Collection, Booster Bundle, Shiny Iron Treads ex Tin, and Mini-Tin. In this installment of our three-part early opening, we'll be opening the Booster Bundle and Tech Sticker Collection.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates Booster Bundle

• Includes six booster packs from the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates expansion

This one is meat and potatoes. No promos, no special features, just straight-up packs. Longtime collectors know that with special sets, we were once doomed to only be able to pick up products with endless promo cards and extras we already had from previous openings. These Booster Bundles make it so that those who just want to keep opening packs can after collecting the boxes with promo cards in them. That is a great quality-of-life change to Pokémon TCG products this year.

Hit Count:

• Baby Shiny: 0

• Shiny Illustration Rare: 1
• Shiny Special Illustration Rare: 0

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates Tech Sticker Collection (Shiny Greavard)

• 1 foil promo card featuring Shiny Greavard
• 1 tech sticker featuring Shiny Greavard
• 3 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates booster packs
• A code card for Pokémon TCG Live

I've laid out my hits here in a way that shows the dynamic nature of where hits can be. In my first pack, a Shiny Toedscruel ex replaced the first reverse holo, with the second replaced by a Shiny Illustration Rare of Wiglett. The second pack had no hits. The third saw the first reverse holo replaced by a Baby Shiny Lechonk. The format is Baby Shiny or Shiny ex in the first Reverse Holo slot, Illustration (or Special Illustration) Rares in the second reverse holo slot, and other hits like ex cards in the Rare Slot.
