Kyurem ex is card #165 of Black Bolt (2025), a Special Illustration Rare Pokémon, illustrated by chibi.
Kyurem ex appears in 10 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Black Bolt (2025) #165 card is the most recent of 10 printings (2011–2025). chibi only illustrated this Black Bolt version; other printings credit Eske Yoshinob, Shizurow, 5ban Graphics. Other Kyurem ex printings sit at Rare Holo EX, Rare Ultra, Promo, Double Rare rarity tiers, so this Special Illustration Rare Black Bolt card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 230 HP, while other Kyurem ex cards in the catalogue range from 180 to 230 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Kyurem ex hub page.
HP: 230 · Type: Water · Weakness: Metal ×2 · Retreat cost: 2 energy
The 1 in 250 pull chance is calculated from the Black Bolt 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 Kyurem ex Black Bolt #165 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $79.25 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 Black Bolt dust pool, which fills as you open Black Bolt 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 Kyurem 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.
