Altaria ex is card #253 of Paradox Rift (2023), a Special Illustration Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Jiro Sasumo.
Altaria ex appears in 6 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Paradox Rift (2023) #253 card is the most recent of 6 printings (2005–2023). Jiro Sasumo only illustrated this Paradox Rift version; other printings credit Ryo Ueda, Saki Hayashiro, Eske Yoshinob. Other Altaria ex printings sit at Rare Holo EX, Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Rare Ultra rarity tiers, so this Special Illustration Rare Paradox Rift card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 260 HP, while other Altaria ex cards in the catalogue range from 100 to 260 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Altaria ex hub page.
HP: 260 · Type: Dragon · Retreat cost: 1 energy · Evolves from: Swablu
The 1 in 536 pull chance is calculated from the Paradox Rift 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 Altaria ex Paradox Rift #253 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $60.64 USD, which puts it in the mid-tier 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 10 Pack Dust from the Paradox Rift dust pool, which fills as you open Paradox Rift 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 Altaria ex 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.
