TCGPlayer publishes Phantasmal Flames pull rates from 5k packs

Phantasmal Flames mirrors the moderate pull rates of Mega Evolution, giving collectors fairly steady odds across most rarities and slightly stronger chances at Special Illustration Rares. In more than 5,000 packs opened, Double Rares such as Mega Gengar ex appeared in one out of five packs, Ultra Rares like Empoleon ex in one out of twelve, and Illustration Rares such as Meowth and Piplup in one out of nine.

Special Illustration Rares, including Mega Lopunny ex and Dawn, surfaced about once every 80 packs. The major chase is Mega Charizard X ex, which showed up as a Special Illustration Rare once every 400 packs and as the lone Mega Hyper Rare once every 1260 packs. Thanks to the smaller 130 card set, hitting specific high end cards is easier than in larger sets, giving collectors better odds overall even with the extremely rare Mega Hyper slot.
