PULL RATES · 30th Celebration
30th Celebration pull rates
A 30th Celebration booster pack holds 5 cards and a Basic Energy. In 30th Celebration, a Futuristic Rare turns up in about 1 in 120 packs (about 0.3 in 36 packs), and one specific Futuristic Rare is about 1 in 241 packs; a RGB Mew turns up in about 1 in 4,000 packs (about one in every 111 lots of 36 packs), and one specific RGB Mew is about 1 in 12,000 packs.
These rates were measured: TCGplayer Authentication Center: 30th Celebration pull rates (3,000+ packs, published 2026-09-24; no RGB Rare in the sample). Five foil cards plus a foil Basic Energy. The last card is always one of the 30 Pikachu cards, so the Energy comes first. The RGB Mews were not in TCGplayer's sample; their 1 in 4,000 is a community guess.
