Though the odds were stacked against them, a Pokemon TCG player pulled a Charizard Demigod Pack from a Zapdos EX Box.
Pokemon booster packs known as God Packs feature nothing but high-rarity, Full Art cards. To the chagrin of the community, though, these types of rare card packs cannot be purchased in an English set.
There does exist somewhat of a catch, though. The launch of Pokemon 151 introduced so-called Demigod Packs, a single English set boasting three evolutions of the three Gen I starter Pokemon.
There’s much debate online about the rarity of such finds. Some think TCG collectors have 1 in 250 chances to pull a God or Demigod Pack. Meanwhile, other estimations say the Demigod Pack odds likely float around 1 in 1,300. Whatever the case, someone on Reddit recently proved that luck is on their side.
Pokemon TCG collector strikes gold with Demigod Pack pull
In a post on the PokemonTCG subreddit, a user named Osjey shared photos of their incredibly rare Charizard pull. The Redditor managed to bag a Charizard Demigod Pack from a Zapdos EX Box, according to their post.
Responding to other fans, Osjey noted that purchasing Pokemon 151 boxes has treated them well of late. “I’ve been super lucky with 151. I once got a Charizard SIR and Venusaur SIR in one Alakazam Box… I think I’ll stick to boxes for the rest of my life instead of random packs,” they added in part.
Are the odds 1/6000 to pull the Charizard Demi God Pack? Because I just pulled it for real in a Zapdos EX Box byu/Osjey inPokemonTCG
In terms of Demigod Pack finds, other Pokemon TCG collectors say the Zapdos EX Box has been a winner. Wrote one such Redditor, “That zapdos box seems to be the goat, the one I got, Had venasaur sir, Ivysaur sir & Charizard ex (183/165).”
However, several other people chimed in to say they’ve experienced no such luck. “I’ve had 3 zapdos boxes and never even packed a single ex,” one comment reads.
Elsewhere in the thread, another Pokemon fan claimed they’ve probably opened hundreds of packs and have yet to see a single God pack among them. As mentioned above, it all seems to come down to a matter of sheer luck.
