FULL STORY ======================================================================

For those of you who havent been sitting on the edge of your seat since late October eagerly awaiting the arrival of the following Pokmon TCG set, Paldean Fates , this next installment is an incredibly special expansion releasing today on January 26, 2024. If youre not already, then you ought to be looking forward to it.

Each year, The Pokmon Company releases a shiny set. Like the previous collections of Shining Fates and Hidden Fates , these shiny sets include re-prints of standout cards from the previous years and a higher number of secret rares than usual. Paldean Fates is similar to the GX Ultra Shiny and Shiny Star V installments, as it will focus primarily on secret rare shiny cards. So far, weve seen shiny versions of Mew, Shinx, Luxio, Luxray, and Gardivoir, but there should be more cards for fans to discover once the set releases.

If you havent kept up with all the stellar series releases this year because, in fairness, there have been a lot, then Paldean Fates is an excellent refresher if youre looking for a way to get a foot back in the door. Youll be able to cash in on all the best cards from this year while hunting for some elusive shiny cards, which is the best way to hunt any Pokmon. A fair price

Despite spending a lot of time and more money than Id care to admit
collecting premium cards this year, Im still ecstatic about the release of Paldean Fates . Unfortunately, despite my efforts, I managed to miss some fantastic cards this year. The brilliant Mew sunset Full Art from the anniversary 151 set eluded me, as well as the Charizard ex from Obsidian Flames , so it would make my year if I could get my hands on said shiny Charizard ex and the new Mew secret rare shiny.

I also cant stress enough how excited I am to get an entire set of shiny Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray. Even one rare shiny of these iconic Pokmon would be incredible, but to get the complete evolutionary line is mind-blowingly exciting - especially as Luxray is my favorite pocket monster.

As Paldean Fates was released on December 1, 2023, in Japan, players can get
a sneak peek as to what to expect, as well as get a good grasp on the pull rates. As we've seen already, youll likely get a special rare shiny or a Full Art in place of one of the three holo or reverse-holo cards at the end of a pack, which is particularly exciting for thrill-seeking card collectors.

But, regardless of how many shiny rares Ill be able to find in each pack, I wont rest until all of the shiny Shinx evolutions are tucked safely in my Pokmon binder, along with a shiny Ditto for good measure. Budget-friendly (Image credit: Nintendo )

Pokmon cards arent cheap, especially as weve recently seen a price hike that raised the base price of a pack. But, that doesnt mean you cant still hunt
for a great deal.

If youre buying Paldean Fates for the first time and think that the promo Mimikyu card is irresistible, then an Elite Trainer Box (ETB) is a decent place to start. Clocking in at around $59.99/ 49.99 ETBs may be an expensive upfront charge, but it includes some fantastic items like coins, sleeves, and a promo card which you cant get anywhere else. The Paldean Fates ETB will
also have nine packs inside, which averages out at $6.66/ 5.55 per pack -
only slightly more expensive than getting individual packs at retail price.

However, if you just want the joy of getting a couple of packs without all
the trimmings, then Mini Tins are where all the actions at. Mini Tins tend to have a retail price of around $8.99/ 8.99 and only include two packs, making it cheaper per pack than getting a full ETB. Plus, since you cant purchase individual special-release packs, Tins are undeniably the next best thing.
