A Sword & Shield pack puts a hit in slot 1 and slot 10, and about 1 in 48 packs holds one of the 1 rarities below. 14 of the set's 216 cards can fill them. The best of them is Snorlax VMAX #206 at $107.02 — a card you would open once in 671 packs. 1 trade above $50; the rest are worth about $11.09 each. Nobody has published a pull-rate study of Sword & Shield, so these rates are estimated from measured sets of the same era — good to about a tier, not to a decimal.

Published by Pokémon for the Sword & Shield era. Slot 1 is a hit slot too — most guides miss this. States which rarities each slot may hold, not how often. The figures are for the digital Pokémon TCG Live pack and are believed, not confirmed, to mirror the physical one.
Numbered above the set’s main run — the rainbow foils, the golds and the alternate arts. Pokémon files all of them under one label, so the market can price two cards in this tier hundreds of times apart.
"Specific card" splits the tier's rate evenly across its 14 cards. Real spread within one tier runs to ±30%.
