How to pull Pikachu
In a Shining Legends pack, the Common slot shows a Common card about 100% of the time. Pikachu is one of 23 priced Common cards in Shining Legends that can fill that result, so landing this exact card is less likely than the rarity figure. These are the published odds for Shining Legends: the full slot-by-slot table is on the Shining Legends page, and the odds page explains how each set's rates are built. Every Shining Legends box commits its card order before the first pack is sold, so each rip can be checked once the box sells out.
