April Pokemon Recap

 Hello lovely beings

I make it truly easy to see what my current obsessions are 😅.

We were heavy with the poke-hauls for April! Lowkey due to it being my partner's birthday month, but also because we were actually able to find things to rip for ourselves.

Starting off with one of our many LCS trips.

While picking up a second DanDaDan Booster Box at Win Conditions, we got a Temporal Forces blister pack as well as the Maractus AR from Journey Together. I wanted that Maractus so bad, but didn't like when she was still at $10. Luckily I waited and we got to snag her up for $4! Both BB and I are chasing cards from Temporal Forces, and I think that Cleffa promo was too cute not to give the blister pack a go.

Combination Gamestop + Win Conditions + Five Below 

We finally stumbled on a Lillie's Tournament box on one of our Gamestop trips. BB bought it for me so I could have the promo and extra cute bits! Lillie isn't my favorite trainer, but the coin and the art in general for her set was too adorable to pass up. The hits were buttcheeks, but I was still able to pick up some cards to add to my little collection.

The Hits

I'm pretty sure that all of our better hits came from the Paradox Rift hang boosters we picked up from Five Below. I just remember saying to myself that the others were a**, lol, so definitely had to be the hang booster that did us right! I'm very lowkey complaining since we still got to cross off quite a few from both of our to pull lists! 

We've picked up many a Gem Horizons box, still hunting that friggen Captain Pikachu. The worst part is we need to pull at least two so we can both have one in our respected collections...I think we pulled the Quaxly/Nidothing Full Art from both of these boxes 😅, at least I was able to snag up a couple decently-priced singles along with these two boxes!

Oh, you didn't think we'd be trying again so soon? I'm not even going to hold you, this pick up might have been the following day 😅! This was a CardsHq stop, since we were itching for new singles. They have boxes on boxes of card singles for sale, and they'll usually come with a penny sleeve and a toploader for no extra charge. We ended up with two Gem Horizons booster boxes, a Stellar Miracle booster box, 12 singles for me, 5 singles for BB, and a pack of penny sleeves that ended up being too tall to use in our PC binders 😅, lol! Though we weren't able to pull the Fuecoco or Captain Pikachu, it was a good day for my PC for sure. I ended up with more than enough to cross off of my want list!

 Here are our box hits from both Gem Horizons and the Stellar Miracle booster. I'm pretty sure BB wanted the Noctowl, and I know he for sure wanted the Zeraora. I passed on the Joltik when BB found him as a single, but will be PC-ing him now that we've pulled him ourselves! The bottom two are the Gem hits. I already have that Quaxly in english, so BB was able to snatch him up for his PC.

Stellar Miracle Booster Box Hits 

Thank the lucky stars that we pulled a Cinderace EX! I was starting to feel down about our hits, then this feller showed up to bright my PC's and my day. Though we have pulled her before, BB added the Terapagos EX to his collection. All the others have been added to our "let-go" binder!

✨ BB's Singles ✨

I think he really picked out some cuties, even if there are only a few. I passed on the Dendra thinking I already had her. but alas I do not. I think she'll be just fine in his PC though!

✨ Star's Singles ✨

Look at all the cuties I was able to find for my little PC! A lot of these I've been watching in auction, but never being able to get the winning bid. It just means they were waiting for me at CardsHq. Some even ended up being lower than what I've been seeing elsewhere *big win*. 

✨ Little assortment of random pulls! ✨

I ended up pulling the Lapras EX, Aspec, and Ethan's Typhlosion from packs I'd been hoarding. I only ended up keeping Lapras for my PC, and giving the other two to BB for his. He also traded [gifted] me the Bramblin and the Rookidee, so I think it's a fine swap.

*Whew* I feel like I can finally breathe after all that poke-explaining! Next month is my birthday month, but I'm sure that wont slow us down for getting ourselves some Poke-wins!

Thank you for reading
