How to pull Charizard

Charizard is one of 16 priced Rare Holo cards in Base that can fill that result, so landing this exact card is less likely than the rarity figure. These are the published odds for Base: the full slot-by-slot table is on the Base page, and the odds page explains how each set's rates are built.
