Venusaur ex sits at #3 in Pokemon 151, the Pokemon TCG expansion released in 2023. PackRip's catalogue logs it as a double rare pokémon and credits the illustrated by 5ban Graphics as the artist of record.
Venusaur ex appears in 7 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Pokemon 151 (2023) #3 card is the most recent of 7 printings (2004–2023). 5ban Graphics only illustrated this Pokemon 151 version; other printings credit Ryo Ueda, PLANETA Yamashita, Yoriyuki Ikegami. Other Venusaur ex printings sit at Rare Holo EX, Ultra Rare, Special Illustration Rare, Rare Ultra rarity tiers, so this Double Rare Pokemon 151 card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 340 HP, while other Venusaur ex cards in the catalogue range from 150 to 340 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Venusaur ex hub page.

In our latest large-scale simulation of 999,055 booster packs using authentic 151 era pull-rate models, this exact printing was pulled 13,881 times. This represents an empirical simulation frequency of 1.3894%, confirming the mathematical model's alignment with historical collector data.
Pokemon 151 (September 2023) is the Scarlet & Violet special expansion at 207 cards and focuses entirely on the original Kanto Pokédex. Venusaur ex, Charizard ex and Blastoise ex lead the nostalgia chase, while the Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rare evolution-line stories for Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are the set's defining collector hook. Mew ex, Zapdos ex and Alakazam ex round out the ex lineup. Pack composition is the 10-card Scarlet & Violet layout (1 Rare + 3 Uncommon + 4 Common + 1 Energy + 1 Reverse Holo).
The 1 in 72 pull chance is calculated from the Pokemon 151 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 Venusaur ex 151 #3 sits at approximately $1.02 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 72 pull, PackRip's Pack Dust crafting system lets you spend 10 dust from the Pokemon 151 pool. Every Pokemon 151 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 Scarlet & Violet era through Twilight Masquerade is live with lowercase ex, Illustration Rare, Special Illustration Rare and Hyper Rare cards. 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.
16,341 collectible cards across 103 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.
