| Phantasmal Flames rarity | Pull rate per pack (TCGplayer) | Chance of at least one in this box’s 4 packs* |
|---|---|---|
| Double Rare | About 1 in 5 packs | About 59% |
| Ultra Rare | About 1 in 12 packs | About 29% |

Is It Worth It Now?
It depends on what you want from the box and what it costs when you buy it:
- Price per pack: at the $119.99 MSRP, the box works out to about $6.67 per pack before counting the promos and accessories. To compare today, divide the current market price by 18 and compare that with single-pack prices for the same sets.
- Promos and accessories: the two foil promos, playmat, sleeves, deck box, coin and dice are part of the value, especially if you play or collect Mega Charizard X.
- Chasing one card: the top chase cards are rare (see the odds above). If you want one specific card, buying the single is the more predictable route.
- Sealed for later: keeping it sealed is a collecting choice. Future prices can fall as well as rise.

A Brief History of Mega Charizard in the Pokémon TCG
Mega Charizard X first appeared in the Pokémon TCG during the XY era, and its blue-flame design made it a fan favorite. This collection brings it back as a Mega Evolution Pokémon ex under today’s rules, with something for players (two playable promos and accessories) and collectors (a promo set and a stack of packs).
