Rare Packs
Just like the physical TCG, card packs in Pocket have a chance of containing a higher quantity of rare cards. Termed God Packs in the former, here, they’re officially called Rare Packs with thechance of opening one being an incredibly slim 0.05%.
Outwardly,Rare Packs look identical to standard boosters, so there’s no way to know before choosing a pack if it’s a rare version or not.Rare Packsnever contain cards with a rarity lower than one star, with pull rates for every rarity, from One Star to Crown, applying to every slot.
For example, A Crown rarity card has a 5% chance of appearing in every slot of a Rare Pack compared to standard packs, where the 0.053% pull rate for a Crown rarity applies only to the final slot.
