Rarity Pull Success Rates

Two Types of Booster Packs

In Pokemon TCG Pocket, Booster Packs go through an initial draw to determine whether they are a "Common" Pack or "Rare" Pack, followed by a random selection of the cards included. The odds vary depending on the type of Booster Pack.

Normal Packs (99.950%)

Three out of the five cards are guaranteed to be ◇1 (the order of appearance is random). Although ◇2 has a higher pull rate, the sheer number of types means the chances of pulling a specific one isn't actually very high.

Rare Packs (0.050%)

There’s a 0.050% chance of pulling a Rare Booster Pack, where only Star 1 or higher cards are included. This is sometimes referred to as a God Pack.

Rarity Differences

No Difference in Card Abilities

Pokemon TCG Pocket has cards with the same name but different rarities. However, all the cards have the same effects, with only the appearance being different.
