PULL RATES · Arceus
Arceus pull rates
A Arceus booster pack holds 10 cards. In Arceus, a Rare Holo LV.X turns up in about 1 in 12 packs (about 3.0 in 36 packs), and one specific Rare Holo LV.X is about 1 in 72 packs; a Shiny (SH) turns up in about 1 in 33 packs (about 1.1 in 36 packs), and one specific Shiny (SH) is about 1 in 100 packs.
These are estimates for a typical Diamond & Pearl and Platinum era pack, from community-tracked openings. Treat them as approximate: The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates.
How rare is each card in Arceus?

Is opening Arceus packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average Arceus pack are worth about $53.44 (€42.09), and a sealed pack costs about $568.06 (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.
