5 Secret Tricks to Pull More EX Cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket (You Won’t Believe #3)

If you’ve ever opened a 10-pack in Pokémon TCG Pocket only to walk away with nothing but commons… you’re not alone. While pulls are RNG, players swear by certain tricks that seem to improve their odds. Let’s break them down:

1. Save Your Gems for 10-Packs Only

The odds are weighted higher when you buy packs in bulk.

Many players report “better averages” pulling from 10-pack bundles versus singles.

2. Open During Fresh Release Windows

When new sets drop, pull rates often feel juiced.

Early openings = higher chances of snagging those featured EX cards.

3. The “Soft Reset Ritual” (You Won’t Believe This One)

Some players swear by backing out of the animation if the first two cards are commons, then restarting the app before finishing the open.

RNG myth? Maybe. But tons of Reddit threads back this trick.

4. Target Daily Reset Times

Pulling right after the daily reset (typically around 12AM UTC) is when servers refresh odds.

Whether psychological or coded, many claim “luck spikes” happen here.

5. Patience = Better ROI

Don’t burn gems the second you get them.

Save until you can stack 3–4 full 10-packs on release day. That’s when hype, luck, and probability collide.

Bottom line: EX pulls are luck, but stacking odds in your favor (timing, bundles, rituals) really can make a difference.

Try these before your next 10-pack and thank us later!
