Chance of at least one
| Tier | bundle (6) | ETB (9) | box (36) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double Rare | 60% | 75% | over 99% |
| Illustration Rare | 38% | 51% | 94% |

| Special Illustration Rare | 19% | 27% | 71% |
| Hyper Rare | 11% | 16% | 51% |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Illustration Rare 12 cards | 1 in 156 | 108 |
| Ultra Rare 12 cards | 1 in 186 | 129 |
| Special Illustration Rare 6 cards | 1 in 177 | 123 |
| Hyper Rare 3 cards | 1 in 153 | 106 |
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.
