What is the Hyper Rare pull rate in Scarlet & Violet?

2.80% per booster pack — roughly 1 in 36 Scarlet & Violet packs contains a Hyper Rare card. Scarlet & Violet ships 4 Hyper Rare cards in its pool, so per-card odds are ≈1 in 143. The rate is PackRip's own published constant for that tier, identical in the simulator and in this dataset. It is not derived from real print-run data, which has never been published.

How many Scarlet & Violet packs to pull a Hyper Rare?

On average 36 packs to hit your first Hyper Rare — that's the expected value of a geometric distribution with parameter p=0.028000. At 95% confidence you'll have one within 106 packs. A sealed 36-pack booster box yields a Hyper Rare with probability 64.0%.

Which Hyper Rare cards are in Scarlet & Violet?

Scarlet & Violet Hyper Rare Pull Rate — 2.80% per pack (1 in 36)

Miraidon ex — Scarlet & Violet

2.80% of Scarlet & Violet booster packs contain a Hyper Rare card — roughly 1 in 36 packs. Scarlet & Violet ships 4 Hyper Rare cards in the pool, so the chance of pulling any specific Hyper Rare is 0.0070 (≈1 in 143). These percentages come from PackRip's own rate table (the same constants the simulator runs on) — they are a model of the product, not a measurement of it. The Pokemon Company has never published pull rates.

Scarlet & Violet Hyper Rare pull-rate methodology

How PackRip computes this page
Formula	Tier odds = 2.80% per pack; per-card odds = tier odds ÷ 4 Hyper Rare cards = 1 in 143.
Assumptions	One independent rare-slot roll per pack; uniform selection within the tier; no pity timers, box mapping, short-print correction, or edition/condition split.
Data source	Set checklist and rarity labels from the bundled Pokemon TCG API catalog; tier rates from `rareSlotRates()`, mirrored from the live pack opener.
Update cadence	Regenerated by prerender whenever set metadata, catalog data, or pull-rate constants change.
Limitations	This is a theoretical per-pack rate. Real sealed product can show print-run variance, collation quirks, and market-specific edition differences.

Hyper Rare cards in Scarlet & Violet

#	Card	TCGplayer market	Per-card odds
1	Miraidon ex #253	$7.65	1 in 143
2	Koraidon ex #254	$5.54	1 in 143
3	Rare Candy #256	$5.36	1 in 143
4	Nest Ball #255	$3.42	1 in 143

How the 2.80% rate is computed

Every Scarlet & Violet booster pack rolls one rare-slot card (plus uncommons, commons, and energy in fixed slots). The rare slot is itself a weighted random draw across 6 tiers — Rare, Holo Rare, Hyper Rare, and the era's other chase rarities. The Hyper Rare tier captures 2.80% of those rare-slot draws (= 2.80 packs out of every 100). Within the Hyper Rare tier, all 4 cards share the slot uniformly, so per-card odds are 2.80% ÷ 4 = 0.0070 = 1 in 143.

This is the same math PackRip's live Scarlet & Violet simulator uses to roll packs — open as many as you want for free, watch the empirical hit rate converge to the theoretical 2.80% over a large enough sample. Source code lives in src/utils/packGenerator.ts and the per-rarity drift is build-time-asserted against the published rates so the simulator and this landing page can never disagree.

Cumulative probability — how many packs to hit Hyper Rare

Hyper Rare pulls follow a geometric distribution with per-pack rate 0.028000. The expected number of packs until your first Hyper Rare hit is 36; at 95% confidence you'll have one within 106 packs. Most experienced openers crack a sealed booster box (36 packs) and hit Hyper Rare with probability 64.0% — so the average box yields just over 1.0 Hyper Rare pulls.
