Graveyard brings raw singles in a $5 pack, CatchBox Lite opens a watch for $100, giveaways get their own home, and the whole app is a lot faster.
Welcome to Patch Notes! Here's what's new and improved on CatchBack since last time.
Everything below has shipped, but some changes may still be rolling out to your app.
Highlights
Graveyard: our first pack of raw singles
Graveyard is a $5 pack that pulls ungraded Pokémon singles alongside graded slabs. Raw singles land in your vault, show up in your activity and on their own card page, and show the whole card when you share a pull in chat. The pack page groups its hits by value, priciest first.
CatchBox Lite: a $100 box of watches
CatchBox Lite opens a luxury watch for $100, from its own hand-picked pool. Watch pulls sell back through CatchBack like any card.
Events and Giveaways
Every event lives on one Events page, with a live countdown on each. Giveaways sort into Live, Upcoming and Past, say how many winners each one draws and what earns an entry, and name the winner once it is drawn. If you entered, we let you know the moment the winner is picked.
VIP: a quarterly ladder with its own packs
Every pack you open this season counts toward a VIP tier, tracked on a new VIP tab with a season calendar and progress bar. Tiers earn graded VIP editions of the Gold, Emerald, Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby and Obsidian packs, which carry a higher expected value than the base pack, and VIP reward packs can be sold back through CatchBack like any other pull. Your tier is worn beside your name in global chat, and the VIP season race is now the leaderboard.
The Infinity Pack
The Infinity Pack is our top tier: every open lands a grail slab. Cards pulled from it come with a 90% CatchBack offer for one day, and the pack page spells out exactly how that window works.
CatchBack is a lot faster
Tab switches and scrolling are smooth, and the app opens with your profile ready. Buying, opening and selling back a pack, joining a battle, sending a gift, entering a drop, and sending a chat message or DM all answer right away. Long DM threads open instantly, marketplace listings and filters respond the moment you tap, and card art loads in a fraction of the data.
