Zapdos is card #30 of Fossil (1999), a Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita.
Zapdos appears in 27 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Fossil (1999) #30 card is one of 27 printings spanning 1996–2024. Other Zapdos printings sit at Rare Holo, Promo, Rare Secret rarity tiers, so this Rare Fossil card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 80 HP, while other Zapdos cards in the catalogue range from 70 to 120 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Zapdos hub page.

“A legendary thunderbird Pokémon whose anger is said to cause storms. Some say it has lived above the clouds for thousands of years.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #145
The 1 in 23 pull chance is calculated from the Fossil rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Zapdos Fossil #30 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $23.23 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 50 Pack Dust from the Fossil dust pool, which fills as you open Fossil packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Zapdos or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
