Data sources and estimate quality

⚠️ No verified large-sample (500+ pack) community dataset exists specifically for swsh1 (Sword & Shield Base Set). No data found on limitlesstcg, TCGPlayer set articles, or Reddit threads with tracked swsh1 pull rates. Rates are estimated from: (1) known pack slot structure — 5C/3U/1 energy/1 reverse holo/1 rare+ (source: elitefourum.com thread on SWSH1 pack slots); (2) set card counts (202 base + 23 secret rares per Limitless SSH listing); (3) cross-referenced SWSH-era comparable pull data from Crown Zenith (cardshoplive.com, 1000-pack sample: Holo V ~10.5%, VMAX ~5.6%, Secret Rare ~1.5%); (4) Bleeding Cool / community box-level consensus of 6–10 Ultra Rares per 36-pack box. Holo Rare rate reflects the non-V holo slot filling when a hit is not pulled (~45% of packs yield a plain Holo Rare in the rare slot). Ultra Rare here refers to Full Art V/Supporter cards. Treat all figures as rough estimates only; use with caution.
