Question 1

What are Pokémon TCG pull rates?

Accepted Answer

Pull rates are the statistical odds of pulling a card of a given rarity from a Pokémon TCG booster pack. For example, in Scarlet & Violet sets a Special Illustration Rare appears roughly 1 in 60 packs, while a Hyper Rare is approximately 1 in 250 packs. PullRates displays verified pull rate odds for every rarity in every set.
