How to pull Pikachu
In a 151 pack, the Foil rare slot shows an Illustration Rare card about 10.5% of the time. In other words, about one 151 pack in 10 lands an Illustration Rare card in that slot. Pikachu is one of 16 priced Illustration Rare cards in 151 that can fill that result, so landing this exact card is less likely than the rarity figure. These are the published odds for 151: the full slot-by-slot table is on the 151 page, and the odds page explains how each set's rates are built. Every 151 box commits its card order before the first pack is sold, so each rip can be checked once the box sells out.
