How to pull Pikachu
In an Emerald pack, the Common slot shows a Common card about 100% of the time. Pikachu is one of 32 priced Common cards in Emerald that can fill that result, so landing this exact card is less likely than the rarity figure. These are the published odds for Emerald: the full slot-by-slot table is on the Emerald page, and the odds page explains how each set's rates are built. Every Emerald box commits its card order before the first pack is sold, so each rip can be checked once the box sells out.

Pikachu is a Common card, number 60 in Emerald. Emerald lists 32 Common cards out of 107 cards in total, about 30% of the set list.
