What are the pull rates for Heat Wave?
Pokémon doesn't publish pull rates. Going by what collectors report, a standard Scarlet & Violet box like this one typically holds three Art Rares and one card of SR or better as the main hit, along with about four Double Rare Pokémon ex. Special Art Rares turn up in roughly 1 box in 3 to 6 and the gold Ultra Rare in about 1 box in 10. These are unofficial figures from collectors recording their own openings, so no box is promised any of them. Our pull rates guide explains where they come from.
Our guides cover how Japanese boxes compare with English ones, what a Japanese box typically holds, the top hits in every Japanese set and what the rarity codes on the cards mean.

Buying Heat Wave in Australia
We are an independent seller based in Sydney, so ordering a booster box here means it ships domestically instead of turning up weeks later from overseas with a customs bill attached to it. Everything leaves Sydney tracked and insured within 1 to 3 business days (we dispatch Saturday to Wednesday), then Australia Post takes 2 to 5 business days to most addresses. Prices are in Australian dollars and already include GST, so the number on this page is the number you pay.
This booster box is in stock right now and is dispatched within 1 to 3 business days. If you want the detail first, there is the full shipping and tracking page and the returns policy.
