The number beside each product is its pack count (ETB is the Elite Trainer Box; its Pokémon Center version holds 11). Each pack is treated as a separate draw at the listed rate. The counts do not say how hits are spread inside one box, so these are approximations.
Odds of one named card
| Tier | One named card | Even-chance packsPacks for an even chance |
|---|---|---|
| Pikachu Rare (1 per pack) 30 cards | 1 in 30 | 21 |
| Illustration Rare 18 cards | 1 in 99 | 69 |
| Classic Collection 30 cards | 1 in 300 | 208 |
| Special Illustration Rare 10 cards | 1 in 195 | 135 |
| Futuristic Rare 2 cards | 1 in 210 | 146 |
| RGB Rare 3 cards | 1 in 35,580 | 24,662 |
The source gives one rate for a whole tier, so every card of a tier is taken as equally likely. “Packs for an even chance” is how many packs it takes before pulling that one card is as likely as not.

Reading these figures
- The rates come from the evolvault.com pull-rate calculator, which adds up TCGplayer pack-opening datasets and community counts. They are not official odds from The Pokémon Company, and a different sample would give somewhat different numbers. Sources and cross-checks.
- The rarest tiers rest on the fewest pulls, so their odds are the least certain on the page. Where the source lists a range it is shown beside the figure; a single figure is not a sign of a more exact count.
- Odds are averages over many packs. A single box, or ten, can land well above or below them.
