Here are the real hits (standard EX cards excluded). All these were new pulls for me so no complaints honestly. Happy New Year! 🥳👻
"Six Pokémon TCG cards displayed in a grid on a dark wooden surface. Cards include Fezandipiti ex, Dusknoir, Dondozo, Eiscue ex, Arctibax, Ho-Oh V, and Zamazenta V, each encased in protective sleeves. The cards feature a mix of vivid holographic artwork and unique abilities, highlighting the variety and rarity of the collection."

To wrap it up, I decided to give Shrouded Fable a gamble, a set you can commonly find right now. First two packs had nothing but the last two were great to end on! Love the Dusknoir art!
"Four Pokémon TCG booster packs from the Scarlet & Violet: Shrouded Fable series arranged in a single row on a dark wooden surface. Each pack features artwork of various Pokémon, including Houndstone and Fezandipiti, with a mystical and vibrant green and pink theme." "Two Pokémon TCG cards displayed in protective sleeves on a dark wooden surface. On the left is Fezandipiti ex, featuring the elegant and colorful bird Pokémon with a holographic pink background, and on the right is Dusknoir, showcasing the ghostly Pokémon in a striking purple and blue holographic background with a flat 2D art-style by Pokémon artist, James Turner."

Paradox Rift wasn't even the worst of it.
"Four Pokémon TCG booster packs from the Scarlet & Violet: Paradox Rift series arranged in a single row on a dark wooden surface. The packs showcase dynamic artwork of featured Pokémon, including Iron Hands and Mega Sceptile, highlighting the futuristic and prehistoric themes of the set." "Close-up of a Toxtricity ex Pokémon TCG card in a protective sleeve on a dark wooden surface. The card features Toxtricity in a dynamic pose surrounded by an electrifying holographic background. The card displays its powerful moves 'Knocking Hammer,' which deals 70 damage and discards the top card of the opponent's deck, and 'Gaia Punk,' which deals 270 damage with a three-Energy discard cost."

I've already gotten the Charizard from this set but this was a sad turnout from 10 packs of Obsidian Flames... a lone Eiscue EX.
Ten Pokémon TCG booster packs from the Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames series arranged in two rows of five on a dark wooden surface. The packs feature vibrant and dynamic artwork, including Charizard, Tyranitar, and other prominent Pokémon, with fiery and striking designs representing the set.

The card features the playful Ice Pokémon with a unique ice-block head design, surrounded by a holographic background of sparkling stars. The card details its ability and the attack 'Scalding Block,' which deals 160 damage and prevents the opponent's Pokémon from attacking during their next turn.

Now for a set that has been historically kind to me, I've pulled the two biggest chase cards from Paldea Evolved in the last two months, without even chasing them.

Paldea Evolved surprised me as I haven't looked up the card list and didn't realize Artibax had an art card!
"Six Pokémon TCG booster packs from the Scarlet & Violet: Paldea Evolved series, arranged in two rows of three on a dark wooden desk. The packs feature artwork of various Pokémon from the Paldea region, including the starters and other prominent Pokémon from the set." "Close-up of three Pokémon TCG cards displayed in protective sleeves on a dark wooden surface. From left to right: Dedenne ex, featuring the adorable Fairy/Electric Pokémon surrounded by pink blossoms; Arctibax, showcasing the Dragon/Ice Pokémon walking along a vibrant path with an abstract background; and Lycanroc ex, with striking artwork of the Midnight Form Lycanroc, highlighted by a holographic starry effect. Each card includes its abilities and moves detailed below the artwork."

Now for Scarlet and Violet, I love this Dondozo art! Never knew this card existed!

Starting off with Sword and Shield era packs. Nothing substantial but the Ho-Oh V is a new card for me!
