How budget rankings are calculated
Each set is ranked by how well your budget converts into top-rarity pull probability and expected value.
- Packs affordable = floor(100 € ÷ pack price).
- Top-rarity chance = 1 − (1 − topRarityRate)^packs — probability of at least one top-rarity pull with your budget.
- Expected value = EV per pack × packs affordable, based on current chase card prices and pull rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Pokémon set to open with 100 €?
The best set for a 100 € budget is the one that gives you the most packs and the highest top-rarity pull chance. This ranking updates based on current pack prices and pull rates.
How many packs can I open with my budget?
It depends on the set's pack price. Cheaper packs let you buy more, which increases your total top-rarity pull chance even if the per-pack odds are similar.
Is this expected value reliable?
Expected value is an average across many openings. Individual results are random. EV is useful for comparing sets, but it does not predict what you will pull from any specific session.
