Decoding Bent Packs: Identification, Spottiness, and Their True Rarity
When you tilt those packs sideways in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you'll notice a telltale sign of a bent pack – a slightly curved top corner. However, don't expect a bent pack every time you reach for a new one. Check out the contrast between a regular pack and a bent pack below.

Now, let's talk rarity. Currently, there's zero evidence to back up the claim that bent packs are a golden ticket to more rare cards than their straight counterparts. The community has gone to great lengths, conducting numerous tests to see if these packs guarantee a rare or at least boost the odds. But alas, the results are clear: no significant advantage. At best, any difference is so minuscule it hardly matters.
Yet, here's the charm. The existence of bent packs and the fabled god packs injects a healthy dose of excitement and unpredictability into the game. It's that same heart-pounding feeling you get when cracking open packs in the real world, complete with the hunt for those mysteriously heavy packs.
And here's a little anecdote: this author has had a lucky streak, pulling rare cards 4 out of 4 times from bent packs.
So, who knows? Maybe, just maybe, there's a sprinkle of extra fortune hidden in these bent wonders from time to time. For more Pokémon TCG Pocket insights, keep your eyes peeled for more from kxz!
