Best Reprint Colorless A pretty involved name for a pretty straightforward card

Before the Pokmon Trading Card Game launched in the USA, the manufacturer Wizards of the Coast (WotC) wanted to demonstrate to Nintendo what the English cards might look like

It was wide open

What are your earliest memories of Pokmon, and how did that shape your involvement in this collaboration

Open if: You enjoy the pack-opening experience and are comfortable with the variance (over half of packs yield only a regular Rare) You want to build toward the full set including regulars, reverse holos, and IRs You are hunting the FroakieFrogadierGreninja triptych and enjoy opening for specific IRs You want the consistent IR and ex experience 4 IRs per box is a solid pull frequency Buy singles if: You specifically want Mega Greninja ex SIR (114/083) or MHR (120/083) the expected cost to pull either through opening boxes far exceeds the single card price You want any specific SIR: at ~1 in 5 boxes per SIR pull, and 6 SIRs in the set, targeting any one specifically through opening is extremely expensive You want Special Red Card for competitive play its ~$1 market price makes buying the single the obvious choice The numbers on chasing Mega Greninja ex SIR Observed SIR rate: ~1 per 34 boxes (2 SIRs across 268 packs) Number of SIRs in set: 6 (cards 114119/083) Odds of hitting specifically Greninja SIR (1 of 6): ~1 in 30 boxes At typical booster box retail price, chasing Greninja SIR through opening costs significantly more than buying the single The MHR (120/083) at ~$496 is rarer still buying the single is the clear choice The honest bottom line: Chaos Rising is a decent opening product if you enjoy the experience the IR rate is consistent and you will see ex cards regularly
