Ranking Every Sword & Shield Pokémon TCG Set (Worst to Best) | Pack Fresh Podcast Ep. 23

Sword & Shield defined modern Pokémon, and now we’re ranking every single set from worst to best. From Rebel Clash’s brick status to Crown Zenith’s absurd hit rates and the Evolving Skies alt-art explosion, Wash and Cardboard break down what made this era legendary. We talk early-era struggles (rainbows and golds), the moment alt arts changed everything, and how Trainer Galleries completely reshaped ripping. Plus: the final showdown between Crown Zenith and Evolving Skies, value vs experience. We cover the hits, the flops, the sleeper sets, and the biggest chase cards of the era, including Moonbreon, Lugia, Gengar, and Giratina, and debate which set truly deserves the #1 spot. Key takeaways: • Evolving Skies is the grail-era heavyweight, but brutal to rip. • Crown Zenith might be the best modern set to open, period. • Brilliant Stars and Astral Radiance are criminally underrated. • Early Sword & Shield sets aged worse than we remembered. • Biggest chase debate: Moonbreon vs Lugia vs Gengar vs Giratina. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. 📱 https://discord.com/invite/aa6XDCm4Zg 🌐 https://pillar.io/washyourrhands 🃏 https://linktr.ee/pokedirect 💼 https://linktr.ee/cardboardvault

Ascended Heroes: MASSIVE Mega Chases in a LIMITED Pokémon Set | Pack Fresh Podcast Ep. 21

In this episode, Wash and Cardboard break down Ascended Heroes, one of the most anticipated Pokémon TCG releases of the year. With more Mega Evolutions returning, massive chase cards, and a surprisingly large set size, Ascended Heroes is already sparking debate across the hobby before pull rates are even known. Cardboard & Wash dive into what makes this set different, why collectors are calling it one of the toughest modern master sets, and how Mega chases, illustration rares, and product structure could impact rip value, sealed strategy, and long-term collectability. Also on the table is the uncertainty around pull rates, how hype compares to past sets, and whether Ascended Heroes is shaping up to be a must-rip, a sealed hold, or a wait-and-see release. 🎙️ Question of the Week: What’s your biggest chase from Ascended Heroes? Are you ripping or holding sealed? 🎧 Available now on Spotify and YouTube. 📱 Join the Community 👉 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/aa6XDCm4Zg 🌐 Wash: https://pillar.io/washyourrhands 🃏 PokeDirect: https://linktr.ee/pokedirect 💼 Cardboard Vault: https://linktr.ee/cardboardvault
