Many modern Japanese sets have a minimum guaranteed* number of hits per booster box. For High Class Packs, there is also the possibility of pulling a "God Pack", a very rare booster pack where the majority cards pulled are hits. Booster box guaranteed hit rates are specific to Japanese Pokémon TCG. English booster boxes will always ...
For Japanese cards, you can view the Booster Boxes as big Booster Packs. The typical rule would be (for 30pack modern sets): 1 SR/SAR, 4 Exs, 3 ARs, with rare booster boxes having an extra SR/SAR or for certain sets (151, VSUs) a god pack with multiple SARs in a single booster.
Assuming similar pull rates across Japanese sets, then taking the Giratina Alt Art from Lost Abyss we would have: 1/0.745 = 1 SR per 1.34 boxes x 16 (16 different SR’s you can get)
As an avid Pokémon TCG collector myself, I can confidently say Japanese booster packs and boxes provide significantly better odds for pulling ultra rare cards compared to their English counterparts. But why is that exactly?
How many EXs are in every Japanese Booster Box (Both FA and normal)? Thanks! The same pull rate I posted above for BW5 is the same for all Japanese BW sets that have EXes (BW3-5). Artemis said: You get 2 EXes per box (so 1/10), and 1 FA EX every 2 boxes (1/40). So, you'll get at least 2 EXes, possibly 3 if you get an FA in the box as well.
Like the title says I am interested in the pulls between a Japanese box and English box. For context a buddy and I are doing some shenanigans with sealed only.products and deck building. I am curious if I got a Japanese box or two instead of an English box how much of a difference is there?
When it comes to how many booster packs are in a modern Japanese booster box or how many cards in a booster pack, it depends on whether the set in question is a Main Expansion, a "standard" subset, a High Class Pack, or a Special Expansion.
In my experience I get around 4 hits per box. I also had double blaze and got 5. One of them was a full art whimsicott and others regular GXs. Was happy with what I got though.
Pokemon prints a finite number of cards. If they print 100 booster packs in a set where 1/10 packs have a hit and you open 90 dud packs, what are the odds that the next pack has a hit?
I've heard that you are guaranteed to pull a secret rare in a booster box, and was wondering how much of what you pull is certain and how much is random? Like, can a booster box have 2 or even 3 secrets?
