Volcarona is card #17 of Ancient Origins (2015), a Rare Holo Pokémon, illustrated by Kyoko Umemoto.
Volcarona appears in 16 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Ancient Origins (2015) #17 card is one of 16 printings spanning 2011–2025. Kyoko Umemoto only illustrated this Ancient Origins version; other printings credit 5ban Graphics, Mitsuhiro Arita, Shin Nagasawa. Other Volcarona printings sit at Rare, Promo, Uncommon, Common rarity tiers, so this Rare Holo Ancient Origins card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 100 HP, while other Volcarona cards in the catalogue range from 100 to 140 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Volcarona hub page.

The 1 in 29 pull chance is calculated from the Ancient Origins 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 Volcarona Ancient Origins #17 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $0.56 USD, which puts it in the common-bulk 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 150 Pack Dust from the Ancient Origins dust pool, which fills as you open Ancient Origins 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 Volcarona 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.
