We lucked into a surprise restock of the Pokémon 30th Anniversary Metal Charm Mascots ~Alola, Galar, Paldea~ version. There was just one machine that admittedly looked a bit beat up and the flyer was definitely printed lower quality but the contents were the real capsule toys. Sometimes you can get super lucky and find older gashapon even in stores featuring the newest ones. Shipments can get delayed or misplaced and you never know what gacha areas might have. So it’s always a good idea to take a look at gashapon machines or areas if you’re on the hunt for something as you really never know what you may find.

This Pokémon 30th anniversary gacha series has been super popular since the release of the first series featuring Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn legendaries. It’s rare to see them especially here in the city so it was a really exciting find. This set featured 7 types including Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Zacian, Zamazenta, Koraidon, and Miraidon.

My Gacha Luck Summary

The first thing that caught me by surprise was the size difference between the capsules. I’ve never pulled a set gashapon where they were different sizes so that took me off guard but I was very happy with my pulls since these were two of the legendaries I had wanted. Lunala was such a cool legendary design and I got Scarlet version so Koraidon was my main legendary and ride in the game. Honestly the only Pokemon I didn’t have a strong attachment to and didn’t want was Zecrozma so my odds were always going to be good for this one. I do wish I had pulled more but it was starting to get crowded and it’s always good etiquette to pull twice before stepping aside for others.

The metal charms are quite weighty and definitely felt like a great deal for just 300 yen each. It’s no wonder all the other times it was released it was sold out because it’s a great Pokémon 30th anniversary gacha to pull from. If you have fond memories of these legendaries or the games they come from I definitely recommend giving this gashapon a shot if you still happen to run into it in the wild!
