The Pokémon Trading Card Game’s (TCG) Ascended Heroes expansion began its phased release in late January 2026, giving collectors and players the chance to discover the pull rates for its new cards. Community analysis and reports from The News Directory (via Marcus Rodriguez), Tom Urbain, and Pokebeach all indicate improved pull rates in Ascended Heroes compared to previous sets like Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames. In particular, the probability of pulling certain card types, such as Mega Hyper Rares, is reportedly double that of earlier expansions. Here’s a breakdown of average pull rates based on initial data: Mega Hyper Rare: 1 in 540 boosters Special Illustration Rare: 1 in 70 boosters Mega Attack Rare: 1 in 29 boosters Ultra Rare: 1 in 21 boosters Illustration Rare: 1 in 9 boosters Double Rare: 1 in 5 boosters Pokémon ex or Ultimate Rare: 1 in 4.8 packs Illustration Rare: 1 in 10.2 packs (overlapping category, different data source) Mega Attack Rare: 1 in 42 packs (overlapping category, different data source) Special Illustration Rare (SIR): 1 in 68 packs (overlapping category, different data source)

Enhanced SIR Rates and God Pack Chances in Pokémon TCG: Ascended Heroes Boost Popularity

Note that some of these rates are based on slightly different data sets from prerelease events and initial full releases, leading to overlapping categories with differing probabilities. For those seeking a specific Special Illustration Rare (SIR) card, approximately 2,100 packs may need to be opened. The chance of finding a God Pack containing two or more SIR cards, or an SIR alongside multiple Illustration Rares, is estimated at 1 in 950 packs. Kotaku and IGN have reported on the set’s most expensive cards. Despite high demand, Elite Trainer Boxes have been readily available at market price on Amazon, suggesting a well-supplied chain. With these improved pull rates, Pokémon TCG: Ascended Heroes is likely to become one of the most popular expansions among the Pokémon fanbase.
