PULL RATES · Detective Pikachu
Detective Pikachu pull rates
A Detective Pikachu booster pack holds 4 cards. In Detective Pikachu, a Rare Ultra turns up in about 1 in 4 packs (about 9.0 in 36 packs), and one specific Rare Ultra is about 1 in 16 packs.
These are estimates for a typical Detective Pikachu era pack, from community-tracked openings. Treat them as approximate: The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates. Four foil cards: three regular foils and a holo rare or Pokémon-GX.
How rare is each card in Detective Pikachu?

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare Ultra 4 cards | 1 in 4 (25%) | 9.0 | 1 in 16 | 33 |
“Packs to pull every one” is the average number of packs it takes to own every card of that rarity at least once; the last few take the longest.

Is opening Detective Pikachu packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average Detective Pikachu pack are worth about $8.17 (€7.35), and a sealed pack costs about $24.41 (TCGplayer market). Sealed packs of a set this old sell as collectibles, so what the cards inside are worth says little about opening one. Every card counts at its market price here, including bulk that is hard to sell, so what you would really get is lower.
