Pokémon TCG Phantasmal Flames pull rates (per pack)
Rounded per-pack odds.
| Rarity | Odds (per pack) | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|
| Double Rare (DR) | 1 in 5 | Rare slot |
| Ultra Rare (UR) | 1 in 12 | Rare slot |
| Illustration Rare (IR) | 1 in 9 | Second reverse holo slot |
| Special Illustration Rare (SIR) | 1 in 80 | Second reverse holo slot |
| Mega Hyper Rare (MHR) | 1 in 1,260 | Rare slot (top chase tier) |
If you want to open with the cleanest “set sample” (same product, same pack count), the Phantasmal Flames Booster Box is the standard 36-pack baseline people use when comparing pull rates across sets.
Phantasmal Flames booster box pull rates (what to expect in 36 packs)
A booster box is typically 36 packs. These are averages, not guarantees. If you are opening smaller, you can compare with a Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box (9 packs) or single Phantasmal Flames Booster Packs.
| Rarity | Odds (per pack) | Expected hits in 36 packs (average) |
|---|---|---|
| Double Rare (DR) | 1 in 5 | ~7.2 |
| Ultra Rare (UR) | 1 in 12 | ~3.0 |
| Illustration Rare (IR) | 1 in 9 | ~4.0 |
| Special Illustration Rare (SIR) | 1 in 80 | ~0.45 |
| Mega Hyper Rare (MHR) | 1 in 1,260 | ~0.03 |
- It is completely normal to open a box and hit zero SIRs.
- IRs and URs are the “steady reward” tiers in this set.
- MHR is a long shot chase tier. Do not plan on seeing it in a small opening.
Mega Charizard ex pull rate in Phantasmal Flames
If you are chasing Charizard specifically, these are the two numbers that matter:
- Mega Charizard ex (SIR): about 1 in 400 packs
- Mega Charizard ex (MHR / gold): about 1 in 1,260 packs
If you prefer to keep sealed tidy on shelves, Obsidia also has a Booster Box + Acrylic Case option.
Your chance after 1 box, 1 case, and more (probability estimates)
This table shows the chance of pulling at least one copy after opening different amounts of product. It is the simplest way to turn “1 in X packs” into expectations that match real openings.
| Packs opened | Product shortcut | Chance of Charizard SIR (1 in 400) | Chance of Charizard MHR (1 in 1,260) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 | 1 booster box | ~8.6% | ~2.8% |
| 72 | 2 booster boxes | ~16.5% | ~5.6% |
| 108 | 3 booster boxes | ~23.7% | ~8.2% |
| 216 | 1 case (6 boxes) | ~41.8% | ~15.8% |
| 432 | 2 cases (12 boxes) | ~66.1% | ~29.0% |
These are estimates based on the per-pack odds above. Individual openings can still swing hot or cold.
