Temporal Forces pull rates
A Temporal Forces booster pack holds 10 cards and a Basic Energy. In Temporal Forces, a Special Illustration Rare turns up in about 1 in 40 packs (about 0.9 in 36 packs), and one specific Special Illustration Rare is about 1 in 400 packs; a Hyper Rare turns up in about 1 in 67 packs (about 0.5 in 36 packs), and one specific Hyper Rare is about 1 in 400 packs.
These are estimates for a typical Scarlet & Violet era pack, from community-tracked openings. Treat them as approximate: The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates.
