How this is worked out

Every night, after the prices are refreshed, we open 40,000 boxes pack by pack, from the same pack contents and card prices as the value above, and record what each box is worth at market price and after selling. On Nov 7 they averaged $125.37 against a value of $125.31 ($46.74 against $46.69 if sold); a night more than 2% out isn't shown. The share that beat the box is counted against that day's $299.77; at other prices it's read off the spread of boxes, to about a point. The run's random numbers come from the seed 2026-11-07:pokemon:mega-evolution, so it can be repeated exactly.

How we work it out

Pull rates. The Pokémon Company publishes none. Ours come from the TCGplayer Authentication Center, which opened 5,000+ packs of Mega Evolution (their article ). Every card in a rarity counts as equally likely, as they found. The ± is their 95% margin; the range in the verdict is the box value across it.

The pack. 4 commons, 3 uncommons, two reverse holo slots (the second can be an Illustration Rare or better) and a rare slot (a Double or Ultra Rare at their rates). Mega Hyper Rares count as their own small chance per pack. Packs are independent: English boxes carry no guaranteed hits.

Prices. TCGplayer market price for every card, refreshed daily; reverse holos at their reverse holo price. Card scans and artists from TCGdex.
