Ascended Heroes Pull Rate Guide: The Brutal 1-in-2,002 Fact Check

The First "Special Set" of 2026: A Record-Breaking Challenge

Ascended Heroes, released on January 30, 2026, has officially made history as the largest English-language Pokémon set ever released, featuring nearly 300 cards.

This massive set is a powerful "super-compilation" of three major Japanese releases: Mega Dream ex, The Rocket’s Strike, and the Start Deck 100 Battle Collection. While this ensures an incredible abundance of fan-favorite characters and high-tier artwork, it also means the card pool is deeper than ever, significantly diluting the odds of pulling specific "chase cards".

Pull Rate Exposed: The Truth Behind the Packs

With the community having opened over 8,000 packs, the statistical reality of Ascended Heroes has been revealed.

⚠️ Community Data Disclaimer: These pull rates are based on early community data and statistical tracking from thousands of pack openings. As this is a brand-new set and the bulk of the supply (Elite Trainer Boxes) won't arrive until February 20, 2026, these numbers are subject to change.

Rarity Breakdown: What's in the Set?

Rarity	Art Type	Total in Set	What's Special
IR		33	Pokémon cards featuring beautiful artwork; pull rates are relatively stable.
MAR		7	A brand-new rarity focusing on the intense battle energy of Mega Evolutions.
SIR		22	The highest-value "chase" category, including Mega Gengar and Pikachu.
MHR		2	Gold cards at the end of the set list (Mega Charizard Y and Mega Dragonite).

The Statistics: Any Pull vs. Specific Pull

While hitting "something rare" happens frequently, hunting for a specific legend like Mega Gengar is the real challenge.

The "SIR Trap" vs. Gold Card Luck

The most shocking discovery is the 1-in-2,002 chance for a specific SIR. Because Ascended Heroes includes a staggering 22 different SIR cards, your chances of pulling a specific one are actually much lower than pulling a specific Gold MHR card.
