Soup’s PokéMonday 7/6

Wassup, I’m Soup and welcome to my PokéBlog! Today is PokéMonday and we are home, sweet, home, back to ripping packs on the faux wood desk you all know and love. Feels like I just made a PokéMonday blog… it’s almost like I only got around to making last week’s a few days ago… lol.

Now, let’s see what the pack gods have brought for us this Monday:

This week, I ripped a Scarlet & Violet Journey Together “Fun Pack”. The cards I got were Swinub 077/159 normal, Tropius 123/159 normal, and Hop’s Choice Band 148/159 reverse holo. The reverse holo was a new variant for my collection. The Swinub and Tropius are coincidentally the 4th duplicate of their respective cards in my collection.

What’s PokéMonday (Pokémon Monday)? Well, it’s my way of engaging the hobby without constantly spending my money on ripping new packs. There’s a full description in my intro post, but the gist is that every monday, I open one pack (usually bought in bulk at an earlier date) and share what I pulled with my friends and family (and now, this blog). 

Here’s a picture of the pulls this PokéMonday:

This PokéMonday, I am most excited about the reverse holo trainer, just because it’s a new variant for my collection. Other than that, I’m hyped to be back on my PokéMonday upload schedule.

Soup’s (Late) PokéMonday 6/9 — Vacation Edition (I'm Lazy)

Wassup, I’m Soup and welcome to my PokéBlog! Today is was PokéMonday, and this week’s pack rip is pretty exciting. I'm on vacation right now (yay maybe a cool background for showing you guys my pulls this week!) and I’m ripping a Japanese pack this time. Note from future Soup: I did this pull on PokéMonday, took the picture that day (with a Strawberry Moon in the background), and have just been too lazy to write this post. In my defense, I'm on vacation.

So without further ado, let’s see what the pack gods have brought for us this Monday:

This week, I ripped a Japanese Mega Symphonia pack. The cards I got were Tangela 001/063 normal, Stufful 055/063 normal, Rescue 026/063 normal, Mystery Garden 063/063 normal, and Chi-Yu 014/063 normal. Every single one of these cards was a new addition to my collection so that's pretty sweet.

Here’s a picture of the pulls (and Strawberry Moon) this PokéMonday:

This PokéMonday, I am most excited about the Mystery Garden, not because I like stadiums all that much, but just because I don't think we've pulled one on PokéMonday yet (if I remember correctly lol). The Chi-Yu and Eiscue are cool too, I needed them for my Pokédex.

I did PokéMonday btw, I'm just on vacation rn and too lazy to type up the post before midnight so I guess I'll write it tomorrow 🫣

Soup’s PokéMonday 6/22

Wassup, I’m Soup and welcome to my PokéBlog! Today is PokéMonday, and we have a special guest rip this week: my sister will be ripping the pack!

Now, let’s see what the pack gods have brought for us this Monday:

This week, I let my sister rip the pack. We chose a Scarlet & Violet Journey Together “fun pack”. This is one of the packs I was talking about in my last blog post, where I thought I might have some resealed packs (or since they’re older maybe the glue was weak). Unsure why anyone would reseal a fun pack though, since they only contain commons, uncommons and reverse holos. Anyway, without further ado, the cards my sister pulled were Lillie’s Cutiefly 066/159 (normal), Petilil 006/159, and N’s Klang 104/159 (reverse holo). Surprisingly all 3 were new to my collection, the Petilil was brand new for me from this set but Lillie’s Cutiefly and N’s Klang were new master variants I needed.

Here’s a picture of the pulls this PokéMonday:

This PokéMonday, I am most excited about Petilil since it’s brand new to me, but the new master variants are always welcome. See y’all next PokéMonday!

Soup’s PokéMonday 6/15

This week, I ripped a Scarlet & Violet Destined Rivals “fun pack”. The cards I got were Arven’s Maschiff 138/182 (normal), Squawkabilly 160/182 (normal), and Team Rocket’s Weezing 126/182 (reverse holo). All new cards for me today, so I think that’s a win.

Here’s a picture of the pulls this PokéMonday:

This PokéMonday, I am most excited about Team Rocket’s Weezing and Arven's Maschiff, just because team/trainer pokémon are cool. See y’all for next PokeMonday!

Soup’s PokéMonday Tuesday 6/9 

Wassup, I’m Soup and welcome to my PokéBlog! Today is PokéMonday, and by that I mean it is actually Tuesday. I missed PokéMonday because I didn’t know what day of the week it was lmao. So here we are, catching up on Tuesday. Hopefully next PokéMonday, I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled Monday pack ripping. Now, let’s see what the pack gods have brought for us this Monday Tuesday:

This week, I ripped a Scarlet & Violet Journey Together “fun pack”. The cards I got were Sprigatito 016/159 (normal), Hop’s Silicobra 086/159 (normal), and Dunsparce 120/159 (reverse holo). The Sprigatito and Dunparce were new to my collection this time. 

This PokéMonday Tuesday, I am most excited about the reverse holo Dunsparce since it was new to my collection, but it’s also an Asako Ito card (the knitted ones) and everything by that illustrator is so cute. 

Here’s a picture of the pulls this PokéMonday Tuesday:

Soup’s PokéMonday 6/1/26 — and Happy Pride Month!

Wassup, I’m Soup and welcome to my PokéBlog! Today is PokéMonday, the first one I am actually posting on here. And coincidentally it is also the first of the month, how fitting! Happy Pride Month by the way, Pokémon is for every kind of trainer, no matter their gender or sexuality. Now, let’s see what the pack gods have brought for us this Monday:

(It's not that long of a post, but there's a picture and I didn't want to clog anyone's dash. This was the only place that made sense to put the "Keep reading" imo.)

There’s a full description in my intro post, but the gist is that every Monday, I open one pack (usually bought in bulk at an earlier date in order to minimize costs) and share what I pulled with my friends and family (and now, this blog). 

This week, I let one of my younger brothers rip the pack for me. We went with a Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together “fun pack.” The cards we got were Larvitar 080/159 (reverse holo), N’s Darumaka 026/159 (normal), and N’s Zorua 097/159 (normal). The latter is a duplicate, but still, that’s 2 new cards/variants for my collection. 

Here’s a picture of the pulls this PokéMonday:

This PokéMonday, I am most excited about the N’s Darumaka since it’s new to me and I have a soft spot for cards of trainer’s/supporter’s Pokémon. The reverse holo pattern on the Larvitar is pretty cool though.
