Perfect Order has been out for four days and the community has been ripping packs nonstop. Weβve compiled pull rate data from over 1,000 tracked pack openings across the community to give you the real numbers β not guesses, not βfeels likeβ estimates, actual data.
Hereβs what we found.
Overall Pull Rate Breakdown
Based on community-tracked openings from booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, and loose packs:
| Card Type | Approximate Pull Rate | Per Booster Box (36 packs) |
|---|---|---|
| Common/Uncommon | Every pack | 36 |
| Holo Rare | ~1 in 3 packs | ~12 |
| Pokemon ex | ~1 in 6 packs | ~6 |
| Mega Evolution ex | ~1 in 18 packs | ~2 |
| Full Art | ~1 in 24 packs | ~1-2 |
| Secret Rare | ~1 in 36 packs | ~1 |
| Special Art Rare (SAR) | ~1 in 72 packs | ~0-1 |
| Gold Secret Rare | ~1 in 144 packs | ~0-1 |
The takeaway: You should expect roughly 1 Secret Rare per booster box, with a chance at a Special Art Rare. Mega Evolution ex cards show up about twice per box, which is generous compared to recent sets.
Mega Evolution ex Pull Rates
The four Mega Evolutions are the stars of Perfect Order, and theyβre pulling at surprisingly fair rates:
- Mega Charizard ex β The chase card. Showing up at roughly 1 in 72 packs for the SAR version, 1 in 18 for the standard Mega ex
- Mega Mewtwo ex β Similar rates to Charizard for standard, slightly less common in SAR
- Mega Rayquaza ex β Consistent with other Megas at ~1 in 18
- Mega Gardevoir ex β Same bracket, pulling evenly with Rayquaza
The standard Mega ex versions are very pullable. If you buy a booster box, you should expect to see at least one or two Mega Evolutions.
Booster Box vs. ETB vs. Loose Packs
Booster Box (36 packs, ~$130-145)
- Best value per pack
- Most consistent pulls β almost guaranteed at least 1 Secret Rare
- Expected value: $90-180 depending on hits
- Verdict: Best option for collectors and openers
Elite Trainer Box (9 packs, ~$45-50)
- Good accessories (sleeves, dice, storage)
- Only 9 packs means high variance
- You might get nothing exciting or you might hit the chase card
- Verdict: Good for casual collectors who want the extras
Loose Packs (~$4.50-5 each)
- Highest cost per pack at most retailers
- No guaranteed distribution β pure lottery
- Fun for impulse buys, terrible for consistent collecting
- Verdict: Fine for fun, donβt rely on them for building a collection
Whatβs Worth Chasing
Based on early market prices (as of March 31, 2026):
- Mega Charizard ex SAR β $85-120 (and climbing)
- Mega Mewtwo ex SAR β $50-70
- Mega Rayquaza ex SAR β $45-65
- Mega Charizard ex (standard) β $15-25
- Mega Gardevoir ex SAR β $30-45
The Charizard SAR is the clear money card. If you pull one, that single card likely pays for your entire booster box.
Are Perfect Order Booster Boxes Worth It?
Short answer: Yes, especially at MSRP.
The pull rates are fair, the set is small enough that you can realistically complete the main set in 2-3 boxes, and the Mega Evolution mechanic is generating huge collector interest. Early market data shows boxes holding value well.
For investors: The Mega Evolution nostalgia factor is real. These cards have long-term appeal similar to how Eeveelution cards from Evolving Skies held value. Consider holding sealed boxes.
For players: The Mega ex cards are competitively viable. Mega Mewtwo ex and Mega Rayquaza ex are already showing up in tournament lists. Worth opening for playables.
For collectors: Small set + fair pull rates = very completable. This is one of the more collector-friendly sets weβve seen in a while.
Tips for Pack Opening
- Buy from authorized retailers β Fake Perfect Order packs are already showing up on marketplace sites. Stick to Pokemon Center, GameStop, Target, or verified LGS
- Track your pulls β Use a spreadsheet or app. Knowing your actual pull rates helps you decide when to stop buying
- Donβt chase one card β If you want the Mega Charizard SAR specifically, youβre statistically better off buying it as a single once prices stabilize (usually 2-3 weeks post-release)
- Check for mapped boxes β If buying from third parties, make sure boxes are factory sealed with the official Pokemon shrink wrap
Final Thoughts
Perfect Order is living up to its name so far. The pull rates feel balanced, the chase cards are genuinely exciting, and the Mega Evolution nostalgia is hitting different for anyone who grew up with the XY era.
If youβve been on the fence β this is a good set to go in on. Grab a booster box at MSRP if you can find one, and enjoy the rips.
