PULL RATES

What were the pull rates for Darkness Ablaze?

No published pack odds are documented for Darkness Ablaze 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.
