Math, not vibes
Expected value as a weighted sum over every card in the set.
EXPECTED VALUE · POKÉMON TCG
Poké EV calculates what you can expect to pull from a booster pack, a booster box, or an ETB, and tells you whether it's worth opening.
The expansions with the best expected value per pack, at today's market prices.
Set, format (booster box, pack, ETB) and the price you paid. That's all we need.
Every rarity in the set is weighted by its documented pull rates, card by card, slot by slot.
OPEN when expected value beats your price paid. Otherwise KEEP.
