Prismatic Evolutions: Pull Rates Unveiled
Special Illustration Rares Are Twice as Easy to Find!
The pull rates for Prismatic Evolutions have been revealed, based on data from 1,200 booster pack openings courtesy of TCGplayer. While the sample size is smaller due to this being a special set, it still provides a reliable snapshot of what to expect. Here are the key takeaways:
Special Illustration Rares (SIRs):
- Pull rate: 1 in 45 packs, making them twice as easy to pull compared to the last four sets (where they were roughly 1 in 85-90 packs).
- For comparison, this matches rates last seen in Paradox Rift (1 in 47 packs) but is slightly lower than earlier sets like Scarlet & Violet (1 in 32 packs).
- Caution: With 32 different SIRs in this set, the odds of pulling a specific card—like the coveted Umbreon ex—are just 1 in 1,440 packs.
Other Key Pull Rates:
- Poke Ball reverse holo: 1 in every 3 packs.
- Master Ball cards: 1 in every 20 packs.
- Hyper Rare gold cards: 1 in every 180 packs, almost identical to Surging Sparks. Gold cards have become increasingly rare over time, as earlier Scarlet & Violet sets had them in about 1 in 54 packs.
The stakes are high, but the chase is real. Are you ready to crack some packs, or will you wait to see the market unfold?
