Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates Tins Early 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 two different tins.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates Mini Tins

• 2 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates booster packs
• 1 sticker sheet
• A Pokémon art card showing the art from this Mini Tin—you can collect and combine all 5!

This is one of the most bizarre things that has happened to me in a Pokémon TCG opening. The cards were in Spanish! The rest of the products sent were in English, and I personally don't believe this is a concern for customers. This was probably sent to product reviewers and media in error. However, just keep an eye out when ripping packs.

Hit Count:

• Pokémon ex:
• Full Art Trainer Supporter: 1
• Baby Shiny: 0
• Shiny Pokémon ex: 0
• Shiny Illustration Rare: 0
• Shiny Special Illustration Rare: 0
• Special Illustration Rare Trainer Supporter: 0
• Hyper Rare Gold Secret Rares: 0

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates Shiny Great Tusk ex Tin

• 1 foil promo card featuring Shiny Great Tusk ex
• 5 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates booster packs
• A code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

Five packs is a good amount when it comes to a product with a promo card. The cards in the mini tin aren't actually Black Star Promos, but this one is, making it an essential product for completionist collectors.

Hit Count:

• Pokémon ex: 1
• Full Art Trainer Supporter: 0
• Baby Shiny: 1
• Shiny Pokémon ex: 1
• Shiny Illustration Rare: 0

With just five packs, two Shinies ain't bad at all!
