PULL RATES · Generations
Generations pull rates
A Generations booster pack holds 10 cards. In Generations, a Radiant Collection full art turns up in about 1 in 13 packs (about 2.9 in 36 packs), and one specific Radiant Collection full art is about 1 in 63 packs; a Rare Ultra turns up in about 1 in 33 packs (about 1.1 in 36 packs), and one specific Rare Ultra is about 1 in 233 packs.
These are estimates for a typical Generations era pack, from community-tracked openings. Treat them as approximate: The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates. Eight core cards and two Radiant Collection cards in every pack (Bulbapedia). The odds of a full-art or EX Radiant Collection card are an estimate.
How rare is each card in Generations?
| Rarity | Per pack | In 36 packs | One specific card | Packs to pull every one |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare Holo 7 cards | 1 in 3.3 (30%) | 11 | 1 in 23 | 60 |
| Rare Holo EX 14 cards | 1 in 6.7 (15%) | 5.4 | 1 in 93 | 303 |
| Radiant Collection rare 2 cards | 1 in 8.3 (12%) | 4.3 | 1 in 17 | 25 |
| Radiant Collection full art 5 cards | 1 in 13 (8.0%) | 2.9 | 1 in 63 | 143 |
| Rare Ultra 7 cards | 1 in 33 (3.0%) | 1.1 | 1 in 233 | 605 |
“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 Generations packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average Generations pack are worth about $42.81 (€38.14), and a sealed pack costs about $334.95 (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.
