PULL RATES · Celebrations
Celebrations pull rates
A Celebrations booster pack holds 4 cards. In Celebrations, a Classic Collection turns up in about 1 in 6.7 packs (about 5.4 in 36 packs), and one specific Classic Collection is about 1 in 167 packs; a Classic Collection turns up in about 1 in 8.3 packs (about 4.3 in 36 packs), and one specific Classic Collection is about 1 in 208 packs.
These are estimates for a typical Celebrations era pack, from community-tracked openings. Treat them as approximate: The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates. Four foil cards, no commons, uncommons or energy. The third card can be a Classic Collection card; the fourth is an ultra rare or a Classic Collection card.
