Buy it outright. Shining Steelix is $611 on the marketplace. Its best pack route is the Diamond Pack at $1,000, where it sits in the $500-$750 band — that band hits 50.00% of the time and we count 30 cards in it, so this one slab is at most a 1.667% pull. That works out to 60 packs, or about $60,000, to land this specific card — and that is the optimistic end, because the real pool is larger than the 30 cards we can see. Packs are the wrong tool for a named card.
| Tier | Ticket | Band | Band odds | Expected spend for this card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Pack | $50 | the $400-$800 band | 0.20% | $750,000+ |
| Emerald Pack | $500 | the $500-$750 band | 15.00% | $100,000+ |
| Diamond Pack | $1,000 | the $500-$750 band | 50.00% | $60,000+ |
Per-card chance = band probability / cards counted in that band's pool. Our pool data is a sample, so the per-card chance is an upper bound and the expected spend is a lower bound.
