Doubles running rampant?

Anyone notice almost every pack pulled is giving doubles of the same cards? and rare pulls are far and few between? The odds of pulling doubles are around .1% for even the most common cards and I'm seeing them in almost every pack of mine, as well as all over the wonder picks. seems there may be a bug in the draw system

    I do not have this problem. It is possible that you have a weird run of peculiar luck.

    not just them. Ive noticed it as well. For about a week now. Doubles and often triples of the same card from packs and in wonderpick

    I also noticed that they’re always running back to back, never a duplicate in the first and fourth slot or something like that.

    Out of interest, what countries are you in? Could this be a regional server problem?

    But again, two people experiencing this same issue in a random system is not necessarily an indication of a problem.

    Yeah, this is not just a you problem as the other user suggested. I have noticed this as well. I’ve even got triples of the same card in a pack. I’m also getting the same 1 ⭐️ full art rares (Sudowoodo and Houndoom) constantly. Like, it’s not enough that it’s seemingly impossible to pull a ⭐️⭐️ rare now, but we have to also get the same cards over and over again…? How rare is a ⭐️ card really when you pull one every other pack…? And it sucks because judging by the animations, you think you’re getting something good only for it to be a ⭐️ card…and one that you have a dozen copies of already.

    I’m in the US, I’ve got screenshots from players with Japanese names as well from my wonder picks though. Two players may not indicate an issue but dozens combined with the fact they’re always back to back feels like it should. I’m also only noticing it happen in Triumphant packs but that is likely biased by the disproportionate favor to that being opened recently

    im in canada, and ive been seeing it happen across all packs ive been opening. TL, STS, and GA. Likewise on wonderpick ive seen it from people with names of varying languages and varying packs. Seems far to consistent to be a “bad luck” issue

    Interesting. I am in Japan and I haven't noticed this happening. Nor have my Japanese friends mentioned it or has it been visible in my wonder picks from them.

    That isn't to say that it isn't happening, but what you say suggests that it is an issue on all servers. Perhaps it is only affecting certain accounts for some reason? Or maybe it is more likely at certain times or in certain time zones?

    I’m thinking bug, in the last day-ish ive gotten 15 screenshots of double pulls in my wonderpicks, 4 just now in the same wonderpick list. If the odds for doubles are .1% it genuinely shouldn’t be possible this consistently outside of theory. You have better odds of hitting the Powerball four times in a row than what I’m looking at
