PULL RATES
What were the pull rates for Celebrations?
No published pack odds are documented for Celebrations in our cited sources. The Pokemon Company does not publish per-card odds for English sets; we only list numbers we can cite. Rip Station machine odds below are our own measured composition, which is a different thing: a machine pack pulls one random graded card from what is loaded, not from a sealed booster.
Convert a rate into the chance of at least one hit with the pull-rate calculator.
