Prismatic Evolutions Pull Rates: 1 in How Many Packs?
The Eeveelution set broke every modern print-run record and still trades far above MSRP. Its structure is unusual: no standard Illustration Rare tier — the chase ladder jumps from Double Rares straight to a huge 32-card Special Illustration Rare pool, which is why "any SIR" comes fast but the one you want stays brutal.
How we measure
Odds come from TCGplayer's published 1,200-pack opening plus community aggregate trackers — the largest samples publicly recorded for this set. The Pokémon Company never publishes official pull rates; treat rare tiers as ±20%. Card counts, prices and pack costs on this page come from CardPrice’s own live market data and refresh daily.

Pull-odds calculator: your packs, your chances
Loose Prismatic Evolutions packs trade around $14.00 today — roughly 3.1× the $4.49 print-era MSRP. The calculator prices your rips at the live number.
Any Double Rare: about 1 in 4.7 packs · One specific Double Rare card (of 25): about 1 in 118 packs
That’s the whole singles-vs-packs argument in two bars: tier hits come steadily, but a specific chase card usually costs less to buy outright than the packs it takes to pull it.

How many packs to pull a specific Prismatic Evolutions chase card?
