Which set should you open for Gengar?
- Mega Dream ex ($163.88): Mega Gengar ex SAR and Mega Gengar ex MA
- 30th Celebration Box ($288.88): Gengar CR and Gengar ex SAR
- Wild Force ($168.88): Gengar ex SR
No card is guaranteed in any box. Going by collector records a Special Art Rare turns up in roughly 1 box in 3 to 6 and a Mega Ultra Rare in about 1 box in 50 to 55. Each set has several Special Art Rares, so the odds of one particular card are a fraction of that. If one card is the goal, buying the single is the only sure way to get it, while our pull rates guide explains what a box does tend to hold.
