Theory of the Pokémon TCG Pocket bent packs: rare cards guaranteed?

Pokémon TCG Pocket bent packs theory

The release of Pokémon TCG Pocket caused quite a stir among fans of the licence and compulsive collectors. And just a few hours after its release, theories about how to obtain rare cards had already invaded the web. One such theory concerning Pokémon TCG Pocket bent packs. Many players have claimed that these boosters, with their horned corners, are more likely to offer rare cards. Fact or fiction? We'll find out.

What are Pokémon TCG Pocket bent packs?

The idea behind PTCGP is to open two boosters each day to grow your card collection. You can choose between several boosters: Pikachu, Charizard and Mewtwo. Once you've chosen your pack, a carousel of 12 boosters will appear on your screen. Each booster can then be viewed from any angle.

Rare cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket bent packs: real news?

If you've just opened your 10th Sablaireau, this theory about bent booster packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket is certainly of interest to you! Unfortunately, it seems to be wrong. For one thing, the Pokémon Company, which publishes the game, has clearly detailed the drop rate of each card. Creating special boosters with a higher chance of obtaining rare cards would be illegal.
