PULL RATES · Dragon
Dragon pull rates
A Dragon booster pack holds 9 cards. In Dragon, a Rare Holo EX turns up in about 1 in 9.1 packs (about 4.0 in 36 packs), and one specific Rare Holo EX is about 1 in 82 packs; a Rare Secret turns up in about 1 in 50 packs (about 0.7 in 36 packs), and one specific Rare Secret is about 1 in 150 packs.
These are estimates for a typical EX era pack, from community-tracked openings. Treat them as approximate: The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates.
How rare is each card in Dragon?
| Rarity | Per pack | In 36 packs | One specific card | Packs to pull every one |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare Holo 12 cards | 1 in 3.3 (30%) | 11 | 1 in 40 | 124 |
| Rare Holo EX 9 cards | 1 in 9.1 (11%) | 4.0 | 1 in 82 | 231 |
| Rare Secret 3 cards | 1 in 50 (2.0%) | 0.7 | 1 in 150 | 275 |
“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 Dragon packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average Dragon pack are worth about $87.71 (€64.53), and a sealed pack costs about $1,125.00 (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.
