Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift
Elite Trainer Box EV calculator
Estimate the opened booster-pack expected value (EV) of Paradox Rift elite trainer boxes using live TCGplayer market prices via TCGCSV. This calculator models the nine Paradox Rift booster packs inside a standard ETB with standard slots, rare-slot upgrades, guaranteed reverse holo pulls, and premium bonus-slot upgrades to produce realistic EV and variance projections.
This is pack-contents EV for the ETB. Basic Energy, code cards, the ETB promo, and ETB accessories are not included in this calculation.
Each sealed product is simulated pack-by-pack using the configured Paradox Rift pull-rate assumptions shown on the page. Simulations always draw full pack contents first, then apply optional Sift filtering afterward so EV follows true opening order.
Set theme: Paradox Rift introduces Ancient and Future Pokémon, type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex, and one of the larger Scarlet & Violet premium sheets with Illustration Rare, Ultra Rare, Special Illustration Rare, and Hyper Rare chase cards.
Paradox Rift pull-rate context (community estimates)
This calculator uses live pricing with a configurable Paradox Rift pack model. Published pull-rate references are listed below for context and tuned to the TCGplayer Paradox Rift 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.
| Rarity / slot | Article / community range | Model default |
|---|---|---|
| Double Rare | 15.57% (~1 in 6 packs) | Rare-slot upgrade = 15.57% |
| 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% |
| Special Illustration Rare (SIR) | 2.11% (~1 in 47 packs) | Bonus-slot upgrade = 2.11% |
| Hyper Rare (HR) | 1.22% (~1 in 82 packs) | Bonus-slot upgrade = 1.22% |
Validation targets: TCGplayer’s English Paradox Rift pull-rate data, plus the official Paradox Rift card list for premium numbering ranges and card names.
