A Pokemon fan shared some valuable context on the pull: “This card is extremely rare. It eludes even the greatest card-pullers of our time. I, myself, believed it was a myth; however, it’s shots like this that restore my faith to keep searching.”
The card has become somewhat of a meme in the TCG at the moment. Some people have albums full of Metapods, while others are still trying for them.
One fan explained that “it is technically a common card” and that “for some reason, it’s been very tough for people to pull it!”
“I purchased this as a single because I couldn’t pull it off… I’m not even kidding.” said one fan. “That’s the joke,” responded another.
For those who don’t know, the market price for the common metapod is $0.7, but for the holofoil, it’s $1.37.
