Pull rates for 30th Celebration haven't been published yet — every card in the set is foil, and each booster pack includes 1 of 30 Pikachu rare cards. We'll add it to the calculator as soon as reliable rates land.
Each rarity has a per-pack rate — for example, "1 in 67 packs". The chance of hitting at least one across a product is 1 − (1 − 1/67)packs: eleven Pokemon Center ETB packs at 1-in-67 gives about a 15% chance. Opening more packs never guarantees a hit; it only shifts the odds.
Odds for a specific card assume every card in its rarity tier is equally likely — a set with 6 SIRs at 1-in-67 puts any one of them around 1 in 402 packs. Real print runs can weight individual cards slightly, so treat specific-card odds as good estimates rather than exact figures.
Rates come from community-tracked pack openings collated in our per-set pull-rates guides, cross-checked against set data from pokemontcg.io. Where the community data supports a range rather than a single figure, we show the range. The Pokemon Company doesn't publish official pull rates, and no retailer — including us — can guarantee what's inside sealed product.
Card values are ungraded USD market prices at the time of writing; products on Evol Vault are priced in GBP.
How the calculator works, where the numbers come from, and what they can and can't tell you.
The Pokemon Company doesn't publish official pull rates, so every figure here comes from large community-tracked samples of real pack openings, collated in our per-set guides and cross-checked against set data. Where the sample supports a range rather than a single number, we show the range — treat everything as a well-evidenced estimate, not a promise.
No. A 36-pack booster box gives you roughly a one-in-three to one-in-two chance at an SIR depending on the set — good odds, but nothing in sealed Pokemon TCG product is guaranteed. Every pack is independent, so opening more packs improves your odds without ever locking in a hit.
Per pack, the odds are identical — Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Boxes pull from the same print run. The difference is volume and extras: a Pokemon Center ETB contains 11 packs against the retail version's 9, plus an exclusive stamped promo card, so your odds of a big hit per box are higher simply because you're opening more packs.
We take the rarity tier's per-pack rate and spread it evenly across every card in that tier. If SIRs land 1 in 67 packs and the set has 6 SIRs, any one specific SIR works out around 1 in 402 packs. Real print runs can weight individual cards slightly, so specific-card odds are estimates.
Community samples don't always converge on one figure — different tracking projects land on slightly different rates. When that happens we show the honest range (for example 1 in 70–90 packs) instead of inventing false precision. Pre-release sets use estimates from the Japanese print run until English data lands.
No. Pull rates and card condition inside factory-sealed Pokemon TCG products are set by the manufacturer. We cannot guarantee specific cards, hits, or grading outcomes — this calculator exists so you can make an informed call before you buy.
