However, with the arrival of Shiny cards, which are altered versions of existing Pok\u00e9mon, the general perception is that rare cards appear less frequently. <strong>This phenomenon can be explained through two psychological concepts: the dilution effect and anchoring bias<\/strong>. The incorporation of new cards has raised players&#8217; expectations, who now feel they receive less than they used to obtain.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pokemon TCG Pocket - Official Celestial Guardians Expansion Release Date Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sqQCnDfbNs4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the fact that the exact odds of receiving EX and Full Art cards remain in the same range as before the expansion, the simple inclusion of &#8220;trendy&#8221; cards has shifted players&#8217; attention towards the new additions, leading to a mistaken interpretation that there are fewer opportunities to obtain valuable cards. <strong>Fans tend to forget that the total volume of special cards available has changed, which directly impacts their gaming experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A detailed analysis of the statistics reveals that, when opening 100 packs, a player can expect between 2 and 3 EX cards, about 1 Full Art card, and approximately 6 Shiny cards. However, <strong>the growing frustration of users may imply that, although the system is not being unfair, this new approach has created a sense of disappointment that could push players to open even more packs in their quest for satisfaction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3fc09c0d-ae1e-47da-a694-2a55e4d81dc6\/9018310\/pokemon-trading-card-game-pocket-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/pokemon-trading-card-game-pocket.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--50\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"50\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"5\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">5<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\">Introducing Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Pocket or simply Pok\u00e9mon TCG, it is a free digital version exclusively for mobile that aims to digitize the experience of collecting Pok\u00e9mon cards.
