Pack Battle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pack Battle turns a Pokémon Trading Card Game pack opening into a head-to-head competition. Add 2–4 players, choose the rounds and set, and give every player a turn to record the reveal and add their pull. Optional fireworks and confetti celebrate big moments, card values can appear with the reveal, and the final score screen crowns the winner. Built for group openings: • Give each player a separate recording and card turn in every round. • Choose one set for every round or mix sets across rounds. • Import a clip, record in the app, or skip recording. • Trim each clip and place a celebration at the exact reveal moment. • Finish with a shareable winner screen showing totals. Pack Battle is local-first. Battle data and recordings stay on your device by default, and sharing happens only when you choose to export a video through the system share sheet. No account is required. Pack Battle is an unofficial fan-made game for Pokémon Trading Card Game openings. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Game Freak, or Creatures. Pokémon and related marks belong to their respective owners.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pack Battle at none against PullRates's shown. Pack Battle also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). PullRates's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
