here you go, max. aromatisse has pokedex entries talking about how rancid it smells: Its scent is so overpowering that, unless a Trainer happens to really enjoy the smell, he or she will have a hard time walking alongside it. The scent that constantly emits from its fur is so powerful that this Pokémon's companions will eventually lose their sense of smell. The scents Aromatisse can produce range from sweet smells that bolster allies to foul smells that sap an opponent's will to fight.

Sorry Max, ever since QC took a nosedive with the mass production of product to meet the increase in demand, booster boxes now have a track record of coming with no guarantees whatsoever; there are dozens of accounts of people pulling 0 secret rares, pulling just regular Vs, or even pulling nothing at all in an entire box. Sucks that things are this way now, hopefully one day they'll get it under control again but it doesn't seem likely considering it doesn't affect TPC's profits ): JP boxes are a much safer bet now, better luck next time!

I found out when I was really little that usually if I choose a pack to be my "lucky pack" based on the art or where it was in a box it almost always causes it to manifest a "lucky" card, even if it's just a Pokémon I really love and not necessarily valuable to anyone but me. I always open these packs last if I have multiple in hand to open

The QC is insane for English and I have no clue why they haven't sorted this out as it's been a big problem for so long now, and every time they "fix" it, it's either not actually fixed or the problems just come back with the next new set that's released

i opened an ETB for Fusion Strikes and got a holo, a Boltund V and then my 3rd pack that should of had something in it didnt have a rare at all! safe to say im loving this set!

Damn, an acapella Postcard jingle. You spoil us, Max!

My favorite part of the holidays is the High CPM's. This is the time my money hungry goblin man uploads more frequently.

I think they've removed guaranteed secret rares since Evolving Skies, in my experience anyways. I've opened 3 Evolving Skies booster boxes and 1 had a secret rare. I also have opened 2 boxes of Fusion Strike and got only one secret rare, but I did get some Alt arts.

Out of all the incredibly memorable, nostalgic, and all around badass Pokemon they could be putting into these sets somehow they seemingly continue to rotate thru the same batch instead.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more
