- In this video I weighed each pack from an Evolving Skies Booster Box and found some very interesting results that concerns me. Now this was only one booster box but I fear that the light packs means there is a hit in the pack. Please watch the entire video and let me know if you agree.

lol the balance of excitement and concern when the sick pulls keep coming
Thanks for posting! I want to keep one of each pack artwork for sealed collection and this really helps
My pleasure! 🙌
This is crazy it was SO conclusive. Like there wasn't even one or two light ones that didn't hit. I'd definitely suggest one more time to see if this is a once off like that darkness ablaze or not.
Totally agree!! Wasn't even one outlier, more testing will happen
Light packs have the hits for me. AA and gold and rainbow. All have green code cards. Green code cards weigh less than other packs. -0.1g
Yeah I tried this method on a brand new sealed box same results lol...
And the pulls keep coming! Wow that espeon is gorgeous!
It was a pretty solid box!
@@MillennialCollector Yeah! 😁
Thanks a ton for this! I’d like to think I’ve somewhat mastered the art of handweighing packs in a store and now it makes total sense why I have pulled 0 good cards from this set lol
Oh no! That's terrible. Well hopefully you cM get sleeved boosters now as a different option.
I’ve gotten all the chase cards from picking sleeved boosters in random odd sets of 3. Say there’s 40 packs in a row, you want to pick the first 3, then skip the next 4, and so on.
@@rileychu4489 I’ll try anything at this point 🤣
You know, I love your method and the conclusions to your experiment. Great job with this content!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that 🙏
Is this Box good to build decks out of it? I thought I would buy one and build a Dragon + X Deck out of the pulled cards
I have heard the set isn't too great for deck building but I bet having Dragon would be a lot of fun again
What you think about Battle Styles? ? weighable
I just opened one and got okay hits but wanted to know your opinion
I did not doing a specific weighing video on Battle Styles but they should not be weighable just like all modern packs. Battles styles I found to be really tough to get pulls from it. See my follow up video to this video as I did a second test.
I weighed 5 boxes worth of packs and the hits had zero correlation with the weight. It was every where and different for each box
Glad to hear it! I have talked with several that found the same as me and others where it didn't happened. I recorded a second video on this topic that you should check out as I explain what I think the reason for it was.
Those hits are fire!
So if you’ve ordered lots of evolving skies booster packs after weighing them all is there a certain weight to be opening?
If they are the same print run, yes I believe so. It changes from print run to print run so the only way to be sure is weighing an entire booster box.
What scale did you use for this?
I’ve bought 2 more booster boxes. I’ve weighed them and the weights of mine varied between 22.11g to 22.37g my 2 heaviest packs in each box had the big hitters. My light packs had a few hits. My medium weight packs had a few hits so I don’t think it is weighable.
Glad to hear there is some variety and my first box seemed to be an anomaly!
How much did the sealed box weigh before you opened it? My sealed booster box weighs 841 grams.
I didn't check that actually but I should check my others.
Man that box was busted I would’ve been so happy with those amazing pulls and I really thought you would’ve gotten a duraldon vmax
Wow I can’t believe this bud! I guess I need to go buy a booster box now and see lol
It's true lol
In my case, from individual blisters, the medium individual blister was 8,7g empty, i have subtracted the weight from the total and keeping those that gave me about 22.23g the less, and 22.41g the top, from 11 blisters, i keep 3 unopened (22,48g or something more) for the art set of blisters, and from the other 8 blisters, 3 holos, 2 V full arts (umbre and flare) and 1 normal V medicham, the other 2 was the ligther 22.23g was green and a random 22.35g that was green too.
Sounds pretty random then. That is good!
@@MillennialCollector I have reserved a box of 36 and 2 ETB for quite some time, but in Spain and Europe in general the thing with ES is a bit impossible, I would like to try it with what I have written down in my notebook today, but until there is some stock available...
Not able to weigh them consistently. They fixed this a long time ago.
Some japanese modern sets sometimes give weird results looking like they could be weighed but it just comes down to randomness.
You are absolutely correct! I did a followup video and explained why this box was weighable.
I actually like that sets can be weighed because I am very unlucky with packs so I am able to buy weighed packs on eBay and other sights and know for sure I’ll at least get a holo hit 😊
Interesting to hear a positive impact of this...hmmm
@@MillennialCollector thanks for this video because I just bought heavy packs of evolving skies and then I realized the light packs are the good ones so I will know that for next time
Interesting to see if that happens again if so you are right .. no way you can buy lose packs
Yeah I will be doing another test for sure!
I found the same results. Lightest packs have hits... or certain weights around 22.2- 22.3
No. Not all i have packs 20.06g and they have nothing. And code card in this packs are turned to the wrong side.
Oh man, this is really weird, but you had some amazing pulls.
Yeah still happy with the box for sure. Trainer, RR trainer, alt art, and full art.
Oh no way I won't be buying any singles ! At all as always very helpful content muuuuk!
Same with me!
May I ask what you used to weigh the packs?
The scale in the video, I don't know what the brand is off the top of my head but I can check later today
This is crazy, so it's a reverse weighed hit strike lol 😂. Maybe they did this on purpose. So we need to buy the light packs 🤣
Hey, when’s the next live opening?? Always a good time when u do box breaks 👍👍
I am going to try and announce one soon. Just sorting out the payment system.
So guess what I just opened an entire ETB of this set all white codes, half the box didn't have any holos or hits even though they were white. My booster boxes however were part green part white, white got hits green did not so weighing may not be possible
The ETB is an error as I have heard that happening a bunch. And your booster box it all depends how heavy your green code cards were.
scary stuff man. i think another test is required. like a 2nd opinion. if youre game then im down to watch it. but wow. that was pretty solid evidence in itself.
Don't need to give me another reason to rip open packs 🤣
yo check out my video. I had similar results as he did. I can confirm it's light packs thats got it
What was the serial code number under the barcode
On the booster box? I don't have the box anymore unfortunately
hey man where did you buy this box?
It was either hobbiesville or prismaTCG
Couldnt the same thing be done with the sleeved booster packs? I mean you would just minus the weight of the sleeve?
I don't believe it's possible as the amount of glue on the sleeved booster and variability of the cardboard itself makes it a challenge.
@@MillennialCollector ahh good point I forgot there are other variables besides the sleeve
Last time I watched somebody try to wait evolving skies they had like 3,000 packs they were doing it with
Should we sell hits now ? Cos everyone seems to be doing good , so are prices gunna fall rapidly ??
Although your box seems like a really good ( commented half way through vid ) lol
Prices always fall after a set comes out. Well almost always. I don't sell myself personally but as supply increases, prices fall.
@@MillennialCollector I don't think we will have the money to nowhere near complete this set so was thinking of just selling them hopefully if we get any decent 🤞
In my experience, prices fall heavily in the first 2 weeks. Then stabilize and as soon as packs become scarce is when they start going up allot in price again
@@anormalguy8407 really ? So I can keep hold of the cards for a bit ? Also don't is it harder to find the rare's when they do the 2nd print
@@CM-1723 in reality no one wants to hear the truth but this is hownit realy be ..people dont buy pokemon card singles the only ones who donare actuall tcg players and collectors who will both pay under market value for singles they need normal people with jobs and money dont just feel the urge to buy a single for 100s of dollars unless its graded
This is mind-blowing
Just opened 12 sleeved boosters today. Got three V and one Vmax. Ok pulls so far.
That's not too bad at all!
I have two sealed boxes. Decided to weigh them last night because new scale. One weighed in at 825 g, the other was 831
Going to open them up??
@@MillennialCollector nah. Gone through 3 already 😂
Yes deffo keep on with the weighing , I think the first time I seen this channel was the shining fates weighing ?
Ok I will! 👍
@@MillennialCollector how much do booster boxes cost in Canada ?
@@CM-1723 MSRP booster boxes are $181, with each pack being $5
@@misterscorbunny5524 I just paid £120 for a box and blisters are £3.99 in UK
Watching two years later evolving cries
Good video, thanks for the share congratz on the beauties!
Thanks for watching 🙌
I bought three booster boxes and weighed them individually. One weighed in at 840.5g while the others weighed in at 864.5g. I opened the lighter box and got the same results as seen in this video. 16 white cards in the 22.3g range. Every other pack was heavier. Made opening the rest quite uneventful lol
So true 🤣 other than thar first box, I haven't come across it again though.
whats a .... white card?
I too have weighed a booster box and found 8/12 light packs had hits the other 4 didn’t... then a heavier pack had an alt art 🤷🏻♀️
Really seems like most had experiences like yours. I did a second video and came to a conclusion as to what happened to my box I think.
@@MillennialCollector ahh ok! I’ll see a look :)
Awesome video. You should weigh the green code card and the grey/green code cards to see if there is a difference.
I will do that!
I think that is the reason
So the lighter the pack- the hits. The heavier the pack- the no hits? That’s crazy. what a crazy result
Maybe they changed it a year later or my scale is off I had 6 loose packs ranging from 21.24 to 21.86 and I opened those 2 packs and nothing.. so maybe packs 22.24 to 22.33 is sweet spot ? Just weird that you lightest pack was 22.24…🤷♂️
It changes from print run to print run so if those packs came from different runs it could be different and they changed the code card as well in the new packs.
Good info
I weighed 5 booster boxes and got 4 distinct weights. I know for a fact light packs are good and heavy are not.
Really seems like there were different print runs as I had the exact same experience and other times they could not be weighed.
All my heavy packs were all green codes just fyi they were 22.5 or more
Sounds like you had a box like mine. I did a second video and explained that very thing.
I just weighed out my box 15 we’re light 17 were a little heavier and 4 heavies I’m gonna start by open up the light ones good video I’m not going to selling my light I’ll keep for sale collection and send some off to grade when PSA fucking lowers their price LOL
I totally get that! PSA is still crazy expensive and a long wait.
Nothing has changed from other sets like vivid and such if this is weighable the other sets are too
I havent seen any results like this when I tried to weigh them but I will try another box to be sure
I bought 10 booster boxes. 4 of them were 840g, 3 were 830g and ther other 3 were between 818-821g. Opened 6 of them as of today.
2 of them were complete crap, both were 840g.
2 of them were average, both were 830g.
2 of them were amazing, both were 819g and 820g.
We could be on to something... My 840g boxes were messed up too, half of the cards in each packs were upside down.
Oh wow thats really weird! I never tried to weigh the whole box but it could be an indicator if it could be weighed or not at the pack level.
Bud I went to buy a booster box because I had to try this. All my packs weighed 21.7g or 21.8g or 21.9g and there were white code cards in all weights lol. You literally hit the error box hahahaha. I wonder if anyone else has had a box like yours
Wow thats so crazy! I will try another box to see if I get your results
Well that is scary… guess I won’t be buying lose from anyone now. I had some pretty weird stuff going on with my opening from a sealed booster box, same artworks, same energies in the packs going back most the box. I did record it thankfully so it’s on my channel, but scary times.
Oh wow yeah that really is weird 😬
I will go and check our your video!
Looks like I’m only buying light blister packs from this set
I did a second test and came to some conclusions of why it was this way in my first box.
I would do the test again to make sure
Check out my latest video as I did learn something new about why this happened!
I will weigh the packs from one of my booster boxes and I will see if my results are the same as yours. The results from this video were very interesting.
Congrats on the full art raihan, its a super cool card!
Please let me know!
did you do the test already?
@@yoerick377 new video incoming today from me!
You might wanna link to your new video, or put it in the description
The link to the follow-up video should be in my description already.
@@MillennialCollector
Ah you're right, guess i'm blind ;)
@@brianc5581 appreciate the comment though! 🙌
I made a video yesterday. Your results are similar to mine. I break down why it works in a video using math
I will go check it out!
Please do this for Lost origin.
You must be a mind reader. Editing a video now that I hope will be out later this week. 👀
Have you weighed the ETB of this series?
I have 4 boxes. 701-705 g.
Wondering if I should open the heavy or light?
I haven't unfortunately yet!
If you made a gut decision what would you do?
Do you plan on trying to weigh ETBs for evolving skies?
@@timvincent9314 I don't think it's possible to weigh an entire box like that to know which to open unfortunately
@@MillennialCollector makes sense. To many variables.
Thanks for making content.
@@MillennialCollector so I opened the heavy one today. Alt art ray v, darkness energy secret rare, vaporeon vmax and arctovish v. About the best you can ask for!
Super jealous ....hopefully we can do a trade soon lol you need a Copycat???? Lol
I do at this point 🤣
Dude. I’m not even done with the video, but my booster box contained 34 green cards.
😳 oh no, seriously?!
Would not open Fusion-Strike if i were you then..
Evolving skies actually has good pull rates.
Can you weigh your code cards please? My booster boxes codes are:
Green: 1.42g
White: 1.32g
I will get back to you on this soon!
@@MillennialCollector Thank you :)
Glad I found this video before I started ripping my BB. Wanting to keep 1 of each pack art sealed, and now I know which to save.
Gonna run this test on my own on Monday, and report back if I have the same results.
Yes, please let me know!
which where the results?
Duh the trick is that the green ink is heavier lol
Next time show the packs on the scale. Then your results will hold more value. Although I understand why you wouldn’t to save time, I just think it would help the argument. Thank you for the video
I wonder if they are weighting/lightening the online tcg code cards? That could account for lightness on the shiny cards. Could you weigh the code cards? I also wonder if they are even starting to randomize weights to make it harder? Some varying findings in the comments makes it suspect,
That said, every time I bought these individual packs at a gamestop I had 0 hits. When i bought them from Walmart I had pretty decent pull rates. I doubt most Walmart employees care when they are stocking shelves... but, most gamestop employees IMO are questionable.
I released a follow-up video on this exact topic a few days ago. Go check that out as I weighed some code cards and that explained this box.
@@MillennialCollector Nice... I was just coming back here to say I watched that followup. That was EXCELLENT! I think your findings are great news. Nice work and love your videos. Subscribed!
@@TheVTRainMan glad you liked it and much appreciated! 🙌
I tried this same experiment and had the same experience. Out of My first 16 packs I opened 15 white code cards. The 15 packs were the lightest of the packs. I then opened the remainder of the box just to be sure there wasn’t a rainbow or gold card hiding in the heavies. They were all green code cards. I really wish Pokémon would do something about this. It’d be so nice if they’d make them unweighable.
Sounds pretty rare but they did let some boxes out like yours and mine. I havent found another box like it yet though.
you gotta be careful cause i pulled a alt art rayquaza and it had a green code card 😂
Insane the price this has boomed
I've just bought a booster box first ever , now I'm thinking what I've just spent that money on 😅
Congrats on your first box! Its a special thing
DO IT ONE MORE TIME !!!
Watch for another one tomorrow 🙌
I need this box
This is NOT good... It's a double edge sword. You want people to be aware of stuff like this. But then again, some people are going to use this for evil 😈. Very good box tho💪
I know, I am always hesitant to do these but I couldn't not share the warning to others. Hopefully people don't take advantage of at least people can be leary of buying loose packs
I just opened a whole booster box and 2 hits
Oh no!! Im so sorry!
Do you agree with my assessment?
Would have been interesting to know the weight of the wrapping, code cards and different rarity cards.
I've weighed some of my cards.
My big hits were all around 2.00g (alt art V, full art V, VMAX, rainbow VMAX)
Non Holo rares were 1.85
White codes were 1.32
Green codes were 1.42
I didn't bother weighing any of the packs when opening but now I wish I did to see if my box was the same
@@hraz7134 I think my next video I will do some additional weighing as well!
Absolutely with the light packs
Idk man because your video keeps cutting back and forth with cards off-screen, to your face, then magically cards in your hand... You need to keep the camera on the cards at all times for me to believe
What did you do with that pack @15:39
Eeveelutions! 😁♥
8 hits is exaclty what i got. 3 regular V cards, 1 v full art, 1 vmax, 1 vmax rainbow rare, 1 vmax alt art, 1 gold
Oh wow thats a nice box it sounds like!
@@MillennialCollector yes indeed! The umbreon VMAX Alt is so beautiful. And Glaceon rainbow and inteleon gold :00
@@Faxen22 wow!!! 🙌
@@MillennialCollector quite shocked myself, so I ordered another booster box ;)
Me 3 v, 2 v max and 1 v AA. I have seen that you can find booster box very nice and booster box "bads"
This made me open my evo skies and I regret it now i got doodoo 😭 curse you moonbreon
Nope it can not be weighed. I've had heavy packs with bad cards and light packs with bad cards. I've weighed the codecards and depending on the ink on them they can have a weight difference of 0.1 g more or less so it's not accurate at all. I've opened light packs with a v card and light packs with not a single hit in them. Heavy packs with alt arts and heavy back with no hits. Opened 3 booster boxes. The weight just depends on how much ink they put on the code card and no, white code cards are not lighter or heavier that's why you end up with 4 different weight classes. So you can't weigh them on purpose. You might get a v card and a light weighing code card. Or a pack with a v card and a heavy weighing code card.
I have another video releasing in 3 hours that talks about this exact thing! 🙌
Interesting to see this, It's a good thing for people buying single packs online so they don't get scammed with bad packs. I'll open up a case of fusion when it comes out and weigh them too :) . Allso will check if the packs are random like in evolving skies. Mtg boosters allways have a fixed amount of rares, mystic and non rare cards. I wish it was the same way with pokemon but then they would have to limit the printing of some alt arts let's say 200 rayquaza vmax alt and 800 leafeon alt arts. That way rayquaza would still be rarer but at least everyone gets an alt art in a booster. I think pokemon will never do this, people buy booster boxes sometimes because they now they could get a god box with 40 to 50% hits and to be honest it's working, boosters are sold out, blisters and etb's are still found. I've had a terrible pull rate with etb's and blisters. It's something to keep in mind and I think pokemon company might raise the amount of hits in etb's and blisters to sell more product. Now everyone buys boosters, not bad for sales ofcourse. It's what they want, sell their most expensive product the most, that's why booster boxes generally have better pulls.
Does this guy own a shop of a sort?
Sadly no!
with all the videos out they're disproving the theory that you can still wait modern sets you're making this video why it's already been proven impossible to weigh
Do this hit out of multiple booster boxes, like another 2 atleast.
Try it with the 3packs, or loose packs
I agree i’d love to see it done with single booster packs as well.
Wow, fantastic video. Down right terrifying.
It really is! 😳
Dang. I bought five evolving skies packs from Best Buy today and thought it was odd that there weren’t any holos at all and now I feel like it makes sense.
Oh thats not good. Were they loose packs or blister packs?
They were blister packs.
@@brannonkirkhuang I would think blister packs can't be weighed but that is a little sus, I agree!
22.29 lol
I thought there was 1 holo in every pack ?
Nope, reverse holo yes but not a guaranteed holo.

Not fake but I appreciate the skepticism. I am posting a follow up video today explaining my findings after doing a second video.
@@MillennialCollector No problem, next time try not to skip anything so it HAS to be real :)
@@Troy-zp2lg I totally understand! I wanted the video to be reasonable to watch instead of 30 minutes or more so thats why I cut some off but I do understand and agree it's good to be skeptical

Oh no!! 😬 may your next pack be an Alt Art! 👍
Sound is terrible, can't hear a word this guy is saying. Why don't people notice the obvious?
Super clickbait in this mans videos. All the clips/cuts are edited together and doesn’t seem like legitimate pulls. He edits them as he flips them to the energy cards.
It's not clickbait but I do appreciate being skeptical. I edit so the video isn't super long. I did a second video explaining why this box was weighable as I tested a second time with another box.

This is not good at all.. great vid, but terrible news...
Thanks and yeah, it's not good...
His sample size are never large enough I wouldn't trust this guy for anythinghe doesn't even understand the concept of a sample size
White codes are always hits
The green and white code card prevents weighing new packs.. did you not know that? You can't weigh packs anymore. How have you not known this... lol
Oh I am fully aware of that but in this given box the green codes were printed too heavy which allowed the packs to been weighed. That's what was taken away from this opening.
@@MillennialCollector So is the Green Code Card system broken or what is happening here??? This is insane news!!! 😳
@@floridajames04 for this box, yes it was. Lightest 15 packs were all white codes and had hits. Then the following 21 packs were all green codes. Buuuuuut,the video I posted today proved that wrong. What happened in this first box is all green codes were too heavy by .2 to .25 grams which pushed them all up. This was an isolated box in my opinion but makes me leary of buying loose packs.
@@MillennialCollector do another video on another booster box. It's the only way definitively to know.. weigh em all and see if this result occurs again. If it does... that should be the smoking gun on all light packs are hits in evolving skies. :)
