What is in a Ancient Roar booster box?
A sealed Ancient Roar box holds 30 packs of 5 cards, 150 cards in all. 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, so no box is promised any of them. Our pull rates guide explains where the collector numbers come from.
What is Ancient Roar called in English?
The cards of Ancient Roar went into the English set Paradox Rift, which combines it with its twin Future Flash. English cards also use different rarity names, so the Japanese AR is called an Illustration Rare and the SAR a Special Illustration Rare.
