Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved
Sealed product EV calculator
Compare the expected value (EV) of supported Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved sealed products in one calculator. Choose Booster Box / Display, Elite Trainer Box, or Booster Bundle; the calculator uses the selected product's pack quantity and generated model while retaining the set's documented pull assumptions and live singles pricing.
Basic Energy, code cards, and sealed extras are not included in this calculation.
Calculation order: every pack's full card contents are drawn first. Disabled pools and optional Sift filtering apply only afterward and never backfill removed outcomes.
Set theme: Paldea Evolved pushes Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex, and Quaquaval ex into their final-stage spotlight, adds standout Tera Pokémon ex like Forretress ex, Slowking ex, and Dedenne ex, and offers one of the deepest early Scarlet & Violet premium sheets with Illustration Rare, Ultra Rare, Special Illustration Rare, and Hyper Rare chase cards like Magikarp, Iono, Chien-Pao ex, and Super Rod.
Paldea Evolved pull-rate context (community estimates)
This calculator uses live pricing with a configurable Paldea Evolved pack model. Published pull-rate references are listed below for context and tuned to the TCGplayer Paldea Evolved pull-rate article. Reverse Holofoil cards are modeled across a guaranteed reverse slot plus a second reverse/premium slot, while Illustration Rare, Special Illustration Rare, and Hyper Rare hits are handled as upgrades to that bonus slot.
Simulation order: card contents are drawn first, then optional Sift filtering is applied to the drawn pulls.

|---|---|---|
| Double Rare | 13.72% (~1 in 7 packs) | Rare-slot upgrade = 13.72% |
| Ultra Rare | 6.64% (~1 in 15 packs) | Rare-slot upgrade = 6.64% |
| Illustration Rare (IR) | 7.70% (~1 in 13 packs) | Bonus-slot upgrade = 7.70% |
