First Pokémon Pack Opening of 2026 – Can We Pull the Pikachu?

Описание: Hey everyone, Poke Pete here from Poke Pete’s Pulls, and welcome to my first Pokémon card opening video of 2026! 🎉
To kick off the New Year, we’re heading back to the November 2024 set after a small restock and opening 20 Pokémon booster packs in search of the big chase card — the infamous Pikachu special illustration rare (aka the “Butthole Pikachu”).

In this video, I split the packs into left vs right to see which side brings the most hits, so make your choice in the comments and play along! We dive straight into the packs with some early first pack luck, pulling multiple hits including EX cards, illustration rares, and a special illustration rare as the opening heats up.

Throughout this Pokémon pack opening, you’ll see:

⚡ 20 booster packs opened

🎯 Searching for the Pikachu chase card

✨ Special Illustration Rare (SIR) pull

⭐ Illustration Rares and EX cards

🔥 Strong pull rates and New Year pack luck

📊 Left vs right pack battle

🃏 Discussion about set value, reprints, and future Pokémon releases

This is a relaxed, honest Pokémon TCG pack opening focused on the fun of collecting, card pulls, and enjoying the hobby — not just chasing perfect cards. We also chat about upcoming Pokémon sets, reprints, and plans for future openings as 2026 gets underway.

By the end of the video, we pull 8 hits from 20 packs, including a Special Illustration Rare, making this an incredible way to start the year and continue a hot streak of pulls on the channel.

Poke Pete out — see you in the next opening! ⚡🎴
