When you open your daily pack of digital Pokémon cards from Pokémon TCG Pocket app, a player drew four extremely rare cards at once. The card combination from the coveted rare card pack included two Articuno cards, Venusaur, Dragonite, and Mewtwo, with both Articunos being extremely rare rainbow cards. Other players immediately proclaimed that these four cards would never be seen in the same deck again.
Editor Ooooooooool posted a photo of his rare cards on Pokémon TCG subreddit to celebrate the unique discovery. The first comment on the post labeled Ooooooo0ool’s package as “God’s Package” and praised the player’s brilliant stroke of luck. Further cementing the unlikely nature of his discovery, Ooooooo0ool revealed in his post that it was only his second day playing on the Pokémon TCG Pocket app.

It is difficult to imagine that such luck could happen to a player on the second day of using the Pokémon TCG Pocket app, and Ooooooo0ool would agree, stating that his annual luck was used to obtain this pack of extremely rare Pokémon cards.

The chances of someone getting just one extremely rare rainbow card, let alone two, are slim, but getting a rare pack is a statistical miracle.
No card in this rare pack was rated below three golds, meaning that the lowest ranked card in this pack would appear as a special card in other packs. In comparison, the Mewtwo card had a two-star ratingmeaning it would have, at best, a 2% chance of being the fifth card in a pack.
