Thanks to PokeBeach, we have some preliminary data for the pull rates for the upcoming English Black Bolt and White Flare sets. Honestly, this kinda surprised me considering I was expecting Crown Zenith level of pull rates considering this is the final Scarlet and Violet set. But it's good to keep in mind if you’re chasing the rarities you desire.
I am sure these statistics will update once the sets release...
-
Double Rare Pokémon EX: about 1 every 5 packs
-
PokeBall Reverse Holo: shows up roughly every 3 packs — expect to see these pretty often.
-
MasterBall Reverse Holo: rarer at around 1 in 15 packs.
-
Full Art Ultra Rare: about 1 in 16 packs.
-
Illustration Rare: roughly 1 every 6 packs.
-
Special Illustration Rare: the real unicorn, 1 in 76 packs.
The general feedback to this has been rather negative. People are pretty disappointed by the poor pull rates and were expecting something more. I feel Pokemon is really making people chase the illustration cards they desire by continuing to push rather poor rates. I mean, we've been seeing how crazy people were (and have been) getting for Prismatic Evolutions. While that set is absolutely horrendous with the pull rates, people are still very much chasing the Eeveelution SIRs.
The hype will continue to push people to purchase these sets regardless.
Guess we will see how things will progress. However, I am personally let down by this news. Just have to pray to Arceus to land the cards we desire.
