pokémon tcg pocket eevee grove Pulling the Top Cards

Hmm...

What's wrong?

A new pack was added to pokémon tcg pocket, but it doesn’t seem that strong to me...

Hello, this is NICHI.

Today, I’ll be going over whether or not you should pull the new pokémon tcg pocket pack: Eevee Grove.

Contents

What Are the Chase Cards in Eevee Grove?

So, what are the best cards in Eevee Grove?

Here are the top chase cards:

Dragonite EX

Even with multiple energy types, 180 damage for 3 energy is impressive!

Primarina EX

Evolving quickly with Rare Candy sounds powerful.

Hau

Boosts the damage of attacks from "Decidueye ex", "Incineroar ex", and "Primarina ex" by +30.

Leftovers

What about Eevee, the mascot of this pack?

Personally, I don't think it's that great...

Seriously...?

It’s probably essential if you want to build a full Eeveelution deck, but honestly,

without drawing the evolved forms, it's hard to see this card making much of an impact.

What Are the Pull Rates for Rare Cards?

What are the chances of pulling those rare cards?

I’ve created a simulator below.

Just enter the number of packs and select the cards you want, and it will show you the expected pull count.

Expected Pulls Simulator

Number of Packs to Open:

Calculate Expected Pulls Clear All Selections

The overall pull rates haven’t changed, but since there are six EX cards,
the chance of pulling any specific one is lower...

Should You Pull Eevee Grove?

So, should we actually go for this pack?

If you already have cards from other packs, it might be worth it.
But for new players, I wouldn’t really recommend it.

What should new players go for instead?

Personally, I recommend these three packs:

① Extradimensional Crisis

You can get strong meta cards like Buzzwole and Celesteela!

② Shining Revelry

You definitely want Meowscarada, Giratina EX, and Red!

③ Celestial Guardians: Solgaleo

Solgaleo EX, Lillie, Leaf Cloak, and Rare Candy are must-haves here.

Heading to JUNGLIA from Naha Airport? Here’s What You Need to Know

Oh—

What's up?

It looks like JUNGLIA is finally going to open!

Hello, this is NICHI.

Today, I’ll explain how to get to JUNGLIA from Naha Airport.

Table of Contents

Where is JUNGLIA located?

Where exactly is JUNGLIA?

It’s in the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture!

Source: JUNGLIA ACCESS

It looks pretty far from the airport. How’s the access?

Honestly…
It’s really bad!!

Is Junglia really hard to access?

Seriously, is the access that bad?

Let me explain why it’s so difficult to get there.

Reason 1: There are no trains in Okinawa

Okinawa doesn’t have trains—people rely on cars.

But isn’t there a monorail?

The monorail only goes as far as the southern area of Okinawa,

so you basically can’t use it to reach the northern area.

Below is the route from the monorail’s last station to JUNGLIA.

Wow, that’s far…

Reason 2: Very few buses

But at least there are buses, right?

There are, but there aren’t many buses, and because the roads are crowded, they rarely run on schedule.

Also, while there’s a highway bus from Naha Airport about once per hour,

it doesn’t go directly to JUNGLIA,

so you have to transfer to a local bus along the way.

Maybe in the future there’ll be direct shuttle buses to make it easier.

Reason 3: Narrow roads

So basically renting a car is the only option…

But the roads to JUNGLIA are very narrow, so you can expect traffic jams.

Most likely, you’ll have to take the road below, which only has one lane each way.

Source: Google Map

Looking at Street View, it really does look narrow…

What’s the fastest way from Naha Airport?

So in the end, what’s the best way to get there?

Personally, I recommend these three options:

① Take a ferry from Naha Port to Motobu Port, then a shuttle bus

Taking a boat? That’s unexpected…

As I mentioned, the roads are expected to be heavily congested,

so if speed is your priority, the ferry is the fastest option.

However, if you plan to stay at a hotel in the north afterward,

it might be inconvenient for moving around…

② Take a ferry with your rental car OR rent a car at the port

Another boat…

If you have a rental car, it’s much easier to move between JUNGLIA, your hotel,

and other attractions like the Churaumi Aquarium.

③ Drive early in the morning OR late at night

Finally, an option that doesn’t involve a boat…

Personally, I think driving at night and staying overnight near JUNGLIA,

then heading there early the next morning, is the best approach.

Summary

・The fastest ways to get to Junglia are either by ferry or by driving early in the morning or at night.

So there’s really no way to take a bus?

If there’s a direct shuttle bus in the future, maybe.
But I absolutely don’t recommend highway buses or local buses!

The reason is that when I tried to take a highway bus in Okinawa before,

it was so crowded I couldn’t get on.

In the end, I had to take a taxi instead.

I see…
So not only are they late, but you might not even be able to board.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end.

I hope this article is helpful for your trip.

iPhone Alarm Not Playing Your Song? Here's How to Fix It!

Aaaaargh!!!

What’s going on this early in the morning?

I set my favorite music as the alarm tone, but it won’t play!!

Hello, this is NICHI.

Today, I’ll show you how to fix the issue when your chosen music doesn’t play on your iPhone alarm.

Table of Contents

The following instructions assume you are subscribed to Apple Music.

Things You Should Check First!!

First, check if your settings look like this:

Checklist

・The Clock app has your desired song set as the alarm sound

・The song is downloaded to your device

※If it’s not downloaded, it won’t play.

① Open the Alarm screen from the Clock app

② In the alarm edit screen, check that the sound is your desired music

③ Open the Apple Music app and make sure the song is downloaded

※If there’s a check mark like in the image, it’s OK.

Hey! I followed all that, but the alarm still won’t play my music!!

I had the same issue for a while and couldn’t set my favorite song either.

I’ll explain why in the next section!

Why Won’t the Music Play?

C’mon, tell me already!!

Cause

・You’ve downloaded the song in Dolby Atmos format

What the heck is that???

Simply put, it’s a sound format that lets you experience 3D-like spatial audio.

It can reproduce things like the sound of a helicopter flying overhead more realistically than conventional formats.

The issue is, this format does not work for alarms!!

That’s a huge problem!!

How to Disable Dolby Atmos

① Open “Music” from the Settings app

② Turn off “Download in Dolby Atmos”

③ Re-download the song from Apple Music

Tap the three-dot menu in the top right and select “Remove”

Select “Remove Download”

Tap the download icon (downward arrow) to download it again

That’s all for the setup!
Now your alarm should be able to play your music!

I wish alarms could support Dolby Atmos someday…

Thank you for reading all the way to the end.

I’ve made a simulator below.

*Since win/loss results are randomized based on your win rate, results may vary each time even with the same inputs.

Master Ball Reach Match Simulator

Win Rate (%):
Current Points:
Consider Demotion
Calculate Matches

By the way, how many matches do you think *you* need to reach Master?

About 180 matches, give or take...

If each match takes 10 minutes, that’s about 30 hours...

What happens after a rank reset?

By the way, ranks seem to reset monthly.

Here's a minor info update for those participating in this current ranked season! 📝

This type of rollover should be familiar to most who enjoy participating in ranked challenges, but a friendly reminder to those experiencing it for the first time. pic.twitter.com/EUvUWbxHVB

— Pokémon TCG Pocket (@PokemonTCGP) April 18, 2025

If you reach Master, you’ll start from Hyper Ball 3 next season.

Even then, with a 50% win rate, it could still take 200–300 matches...
