RSVSR Guide Ho Oh Pack Day 134 Steel Apron Chansey Piloswine
Day 134 in Pokémon TCG Pocket and I’m still doing the same ritual: roll out of bed, crack my daily packs, and hope the card dex finally budges. I’m locked in on the Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion, which has been weirdly stingy for me. If you’re trying to keep up with the grind, I’ve noticed a lot of players also look at Pokemon TCG Pocket Items for sale to smooth out the slow days, but for me the fun’s still in seeing what the Ho-Oh packs decide to cough up.
Why I went back to Ho-Oh
I’ve been bouncing between pack types, and Ho-Oh has been both generous and rude in the same week. Today I went in expecting more duplicates, the usual “thanks for nothing” vibe. Instead, I got three brand-new cards. No secret rare fireworks, sure, but at this point new entries matter more than flex pulls. When you’re staring at gaps that won’t close, a simple “New” tag hits like a jackpot.
1) Steel Apron showed up at the right time
First up was Steel Apron, a Trainer Tool that’s way more useful than it looks. The -10 damage reduction doesn’t sound huge until you’re counting survivals by a single hit. The better part is the special condition immunity for Steel-types. That’s the bit that changes games. Poison, Paralysis, Sleep—gone. You can actually keep your setup moving instead of watching your plan stall out because a random status landed at the worst moment.
2) Chansey and 3) Piloswine filled two different holes
Next was Chansey with Scrunch. It’s old-school in the best way: flip a coin, and if it goes your way, Chansey takes zero damage for the turn. It’s not reliable, but it doesn’t have to be. Sometimes you just need one turn to draw into the evolution you’re missing or to attach that last energy without getting flattened. Then I pulled Piloswine, which I honestly needed more than I expected. It’s a clean Stage 1 step up from Swinub, and Headbutt Bounce for 70 can actually pressure people mid-game. Three energy isn’t cheap, but it’s the kind of honest attacker that keeps trades fair when you’re still building your board.
What changes tomorrow
Those three bumps put me at 90 unique cards in Wisdom of Sea and Sky, and the set finally feels like it’s moving again. Tomorrow I’m probably switching to Lugia packs just to reset my luck and chase different holes in the dex. And if I hit another dry streak, I get why folks top up or grab useful resources through services like RSVSR so they can keep opening and building without waiting on perfect RNG, because the chase is fun right up until it isn’t.
