UNITED STATES — Early data from thousands of opened packs is giving collectors a clearer picture of pull rates in the new Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration set.
Community tracking from more than 6,500 packs shows relatively generous hit rates compared with several recent expansions, helping drive positive early sentiment.
30th Celebration hit rates seem exceptional, a set like this was needed just to give the feel good factor back to collectors in this current hype. It seems like Crown Zenith on steriods and i love it, enjoying seeing fellow collectors getting plenty of hits and chases 🙌🏻

Reported Pull Rates
- ex / Double Rare — approximately 1 in 4 packs
- Illustration Rare — about 1 in 5
- Classic Collection Rare — roughly 1 in 10
- Special Illustration Rare — around 1 in 20
- Futuristic Rare — approximately 1 in 117

These numbers are still early and will shift as more data comes in, but the overall consensus is that the set feels more rewarding than many recent releases.
Pokémon 30th Celebration’s brilliant pull rates show that good cards beat hard chases

Collector Sentiment
Many openers are describing the experience as enjoyable rather than frustrating. The guaranteed Pikachu Rare in every pack and consistent mid-tier hits have been frequently praised.
Shivam Das News will update these figures as larger sample sizes become available over the coming week.
