Notes and caveats
- Special set: no booster boxes. ETB modeled; the original 151 Pokemon in one set.
- The regular ETB sells for about 10x its MSRP ($509 vs. $49.99); the Pokémon Center-exclusive ETB runs higher still, around $1,113 (PriceCharting, Oct 14).
- No official pull rates exist for Pokémon; all rates are community estimates, labeled with Poké EV’s confidence level.
- These are averages across many packs. A single box can beat or miss every number on this page.
- Nothing here is a buy or sell recommendation. It’s the math behind the community data.
