Pokémon Destined Rivals: the pull rate of Mewtwo ex

Among the Pokémon cards people chase in Destined Rivals, Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex in special illustration rare holds a place of its own, and its price is read every day. What that figure lacks is the pull rate: how many packs must be opened to pull it? The answer comes further down, with the name of the study that publishes it.

Four special illustration rares from Destined Rivals

Each has its own page, with its price on record: Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex, Ethan's Ho-Oh ex, Cynthia's Garchomp ex and Team Rocket's Moltres ex. These four cards share one rarity, so they share one chance of leaving a pack.

The pull rate of this Pokémon card, source included

The source of the rate is a card authentication study of more than eight thousand opened packs, relayed by Game Rant and PokePatch. It publishes the frequency of the whole rarity: a special illustration rare sometimes replaces a pack's second reverse-holo card. The site's rarity model divides that frequency among every card of the rarity, which gives the grid's one-in-N for this single card. The model is rated high confidence for this set: published rates cover its main rarities.

This rate is an average over a very large number of openings. It says nothing about a given display: a display holds thirty-six packs, and you may find no special illustration rare in it, or several. The card alone is one copy; the display opens onto a draw.
