Serperior sits at #6 in Black & White, the Pokemon TCG expansion released in 2011. PackRip's catalogue logs it as a rare holo pokémon and credits the illustrated by 5ban Graphics as the artist of record.
Serperior appears in 9 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Black & White (2011) #6 card is the earliest of 9 printings (2011–2026). Other Serperior printings sit at Uncommon, Rare Secret, Promo, Rare rarity tiers, so this Rare Holo Black & White card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 130 HP, while other Serperior cards in the catalogue range from 130 to 160 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Serperior hub page.

“They raise their heads to intimidate opponents but only give it their all when fighting a powerful opponent.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #497
In our latest large-scale simulation of 999,725 booster packs using authentic Black & White era pull-rate models, this exact printing was pulled 23,254 times. This represents an empirical simulation frequency of 2.3260%, confirming the mathematical model's alignment with historical collector data.
Black & White (April 2011) opens the BW era at 115 cards and resets the modern Pokemon TCG with three new ultra-rare tiers: Pokemon-EX (returning with a redesigned full-frame border, the EX takes 2 prizes when knocked out, ~1-in-9 packs), Full Art Pokemon-EX + Supporter cards (textured ultra-rares where the artwork extends past the standard frame, ~1-in-18), and gold-bordered Secret Rares numbered above the printed set total. The chase pulls are Reshiram and Zekrom Full Arts — the legendary tao duo that headlines Gen 5. Pack composition is 10 cards: 1 Rare + 3 Uncommon + 4 Common + 1 Energy + 1 Reverse Holo. Black & White also reintroduced Basic energy with the new BW design and shifted the metagame baseline that XY would inherit three years later.
Holo Rares are the foundational chase pulls of the WotC and early-Nintendo eras — roughly a 28% rare-slot rate in the simulator's pull model, or about 1-in-3.5 packs. The cosmic-pattern foil printed underneath the artwork is what made the Pokemon TCG visually iconic in the late 1990s.
The 1 in 43 pull chance is calculated from the Black & White 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 current TCGPlayer market median for Serperior Black & White #6 sits at approximately $2.97 USD (Unlimited edition), placing it in the common-bulk bracket. Market value depends heavily on grading: PSA 9 copies typically sell at a meaningful premium over raw, and PSA 10 (gem mint) population reports drive a steeper premium for popular ultra-rares. PackRip uses TCGPlayer's market median as its in-game sell-price source.
If you'd rather guarantee this card than chase the 1 in 43 pull, PackRip's Pack Dust crafting system lets you spend 150 dust from the Black & White pool. Every Black & White pack you open contributes dust to that pool — duplicates pay 30% extra. Dust is per-set on purpose so you can't fund a Crystal craft with Common dust from an easier set.

The Diamond & Pearl + Platinum-era Lv.X mechanic is live across thirteen distinct Sinnoh and Platinum chase pulls with the silver/ice-blue/white shimmer overlay, the HGSS-era Prime + LEGEND tiers are live, the full Black & White era ships with Full Art Pokemon-EX, Dragon-type cards (Dragons Exalted), and the first-ever Gold Secret Rares (Boundaries Crossed onwards), the XY era spans the inaugural Mega Evolution debut through Primal Clash's alpha/omega Ancient Traits and the gold BREAK Evolution cards, the Sun & Moon era debuts GX, and the complete Sword & Shield era introduces Pokémon V, VMAX, VSTAR, Radiant, Amazing Rare and Trainer Gallery cards.
21,115 collectible cards across 127 English booster sets, 10 vintage Japanese Pocket Monsters Card Game expansions (1996-2001), 53 WotC Black Star Promos, 153 POP-series Play! Pokémon promos (2004-2009), and Trainer Gallery subsets. The catalogue is built from the open-source Pokemon TCG API and includes Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and the original 16 holos from Base Set, Shining Pokemon, Crystal Pokemon, every Pokemon-ex from Ruby & Sapphire through Power Keepers, Gold Star Pokemon, Delta Species, Diamond & Pearl + Platinum Lv.X, HGSS Prime + LEGEND, BW Full Art, XY Mega EX and BREAK, Sun & Moon GX, Sword & Shield V/VMAX/VSTAR, and Scarlet & Violet Illustration Rare / Special Illustration Rare chase cards.
Most WotC-era packs contain 11 cards (1 Rare or Holo Rare, 3 Uncommon, 5 Common, 2 Energy). The single rare slot splits roughly 64% non-holo Rare, 28% Holo Rare and 5% Secret Rare, with ultra-rare tiers (Pokemon-ex, Shining, Crystal, Gold Star) layered into that same slot. e-Card era packs (Expedition, Aquapolis, Skyridge) shrink to 9 cards. EX-era packs (Ruby & Sapphire onwards) are also 9 cards but add a guaranteed reverse-holo slot and a roughly 1-in-6 chance at a Pokemon-ex. Neo Destiny rolls Shining Pokemon at about 2%; Aquapolis and Skyridge gate Crystal Pokemon to specific card IDs at roughly 1%. God Packs land 1-in-500 and deliver an all-holo 11-card rip.
Players open 5 free packs daily (6 with Cascade Badge, 7 with Hive Badge), earn coins by selling duplicates at real TCGPlayer market value (10% base sell rate, scaled by trainer level and badge multipliers), buy Basic (50), Premium (150) or Hunt (350) packs from the in-game shop, complete 3 daily / 1 weekly / 4 super quests, and progress through 16 Gym Badges (8 Kanto, 4 Johto, 4 Hoenn) that unlock permanent gameplay perks. A 28-day Monthly Login Calendar layers escalating coin rewards and weekly milestone packs on top. The Pack Dust crafting system lets every pulled card contribute set-specific dust (Common 1 → Crystal 50, +50% on duplicates) toward guaranteed acquisition of any missing card from that same set — endgame pity that doesn't break the per-pack economy.
Holo Rare and Secret Rare cards feature interactive holographic shimmer effects that follow your mouse or touch. Drag cards to tilt them and inspect the foil from every angle. Crystal Pokemon use a translucent prismatic effect; Pokemon-ex carry a red-orange-gold metallic shimmer; Gold Star Pokemon have a unique gold-overlay foil; Shining Pokemon glow with a metallic alternate-colour sheen; Delta Species (δ) Pokemon layer a violet-cyan-rose dual-type tint that composes on top of any underlying rarity. God Packs (1-in-500) deliver an all-holo 11-card pull.
