How pull difficulty is calculated

Cards are ranked by individual pull rate per pack in ascending order. The rarest card (lowest rate) is ranked first.

  • Pull rates are taken directly from the cards table and reflect the estimated probability of pulling that specific card from one booster pack.
  • Packs needed for a target chance uses: ceil(log(1 − targetChance) / log(1 − rate)).
  • Cost = packs needed × pack price for the set. Pack prices are the estimated EUR retail booster price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rarest Pokémon card to pull?

The rarest cards to pull are those with the lowest individual pull rates per booster pack. This ranking shows the top 50 rarest cards based on tracked pull rate data.

How many packs does it take to pull a rare card?

It depends on the card's pull rate. The table shows how many packs are statistically needed for a 50% and 90% chance of pulling each card. These are estimates, not guarantees.

Is it worth chasing the rarest cards in packs?

Rarely, from a purely financial perspective. The expected pack cost to pull a very rare card almost always exceeds the single card's market price by a large margin. Buying the single is the more cost-effective option for targeted collecting.
