PULL RATES · Emerald
Emerald pull rates
A Emerald booster pack holds 9 cards. In Emerald, a Rare Holo turns up in about 1 in 3.3 packs (about 11 in 36 packs), and one specific Rare Holo is about 1 in 57 packs; 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 100 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.

Is opening Emerald packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average Emerald pack are worth about $74.89 (€50.63), and a sealed pack costs about $3,000.00 (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.
