Pokemon TCG Pocket Players Already Hate This New Shining Revelry Card

by

Regardless of whether fans of the free-to-play game Pokemon TCG Pocket are prepared or not, the latest Shining Revelry booster packs have made their debut in the mobile version of the game. This collection brings Shiny Pokemon cards into play, as well as Paldean Pokemon and numerous other sought-after chase cards to collect. Many players have been saving up their Pack Hourglasses for a new release such as this one, so fans have been busy opening card packs since the new set became available this morning. So far, two cards from this booster have become strong contenders for the most disliked additions to Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Instead of discussing their best card pulls on social media, some Pokemon TCG Pocket players prefer conversations about the strangest or eeriest cards in the game. With each new set release, the Pokemon TCG Pocket community gets to vote for which cards they consider the absolute worst. These cards either disrupt the meta in negative ways or have other undesirable qualities. The latest booster pack, Shining Revelry, has already sparked a strong dislike towards one card – full-art Wigglytuff. Initially, there were concerns that Iono supporter card would be detrimental to the meta, but it’s Wigglytuff that’s garnering the most criticism from fans right now.

Taking a swift glance at the r/PTCGP subreddit showcases numerous discussions centered around the eerie feel of the fresh full-art Wigglytuff card from Shining Revelry. The problem with this card is twofold: first, its close-up and overly large Wigglytuff art has a way of seeming to peer deep into your psyche, which can be somewhat unsettling for some players. Some gamers even argue that it might be the most disquieting full-art card in the game thus far. However, not everyone shares this unease regarding the uncanny valley ambiance; the card art isn’t the primary cause of player outrage regarding this Wigglytuff card in Shining Revelry. Instead, they are infuriated by another aspect of the card.

What’s Going on with the Wigglytuff Pull Rates in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Instead of saying “The real problem is its pull rate for this card appears excessively high,” you could say “The main concern lies in the fact that this card’s appearance in packs seems unusually frequent.” Many players can’t help but open Shining Revelry packs in search of the full-art Wigglytuff cards. However, since not everyone appreciates its art and there are other captivating cards within the Shining Revelry series, encountering it repeatedly when they expect something more intriguing often leads players to dislike this card at first sight.

I… I think I’ve been chosen. I don’t know if I should be sad, angry, or deeply, deeply terrified.

As a passionate collector, even with the brand new Shining Revelry boosters just hitting the market this morning, I’ve seen quite a few players already scoring an impressive five or more of these adorable Wigglytuff cards! It’s rather peculiar, considering they’re full-art, one-star rarity cards. Frankly, the number of Wigglytuffs being pulled seems suspiciously inflated. Many of us are crossing our fingers, hoping it’s just a release day glitch that will be ironed out soon, allowing us all to catch a breather from the relentless onslaught of Wigglytuff!

Despite Wigglytuff receiving a lot of criticism, another pink card is garnering attention too. The Shining Revelry set showcases both a full art and standard version of Pokemon Center Lady, also known as Nurse Joy. Although some fans are puzzled by the card’s name, they are still enthusiastic about gathering these cards for Brock. Thus, while we might prefer less pink with Wigglytuff, it’s not all negative. Whether the high frequency of this card in Shining Revelry is an oversight remains to be determined, as Pokemon TCG Pocket has yet to respond to player concerns about the abundance of Wigglytuff in the Shining Revelry set.
