Pokémon pack simulator.
Other simulators: One Piece · Sports · Rolex watches
Pull real Pokémon cards, from Base Set holos to modern alt arts, valued at TCGplayer market prices. One pack at a time; the odds are simulated.
How it works
- Pick a pack. Tap a price, swipe, or use the arrows, from a $5 Spark to a $100 Legend. The panel shows its average payback, how often it beats its price, the top pull and the full odds.
- Set the risk. Low, Medium or High changes the odds of each tier, from Common up to Chase.
- Pick one of three packs and rip it. The top tears off and a single item spins face down. Its back climbs through the tier colors and stops on what you pulled, then the real card dissolves into view. Tap to speed it up.
- Sell, keep or open again. Sell at the market value, keep it in your collection, or rip the same pack again. Turn on the lightning bolt to skip straight to the result.
You start with $100 of simulated cash. Every one of the 846 cards is real and valued at its current market price, and each pack pays back 90 to 95% on average depending on risk.
Questions
Is this pack opening simulator free?
Yes. You start with $100 of simulated cash, and no real money is involved at any point.
How does the simulator work?
It works like a real pack ripping app. Pick a pack and a risk level, tap Open, choose one of three packs, and watch it reveal. Then sell it for its value or keep it in your collection.
Are the cards real?
Yes. The Pokémon simulator uses 846 real cards valued at TCGplayer market prices. The One Piece simulator uses real One Piece Card Game cards, including alt arts, SPs and manga rares, valued at TCGplayer market prices. The sports simulator uses real basketball, football and baseball cards, from 1952 Topps to 2024 Topps Chrome, valued at SportsCardsPro ungraded prices. Prices were pulled on November 3, 2026.
Where do the card images come from?
Pokémon images load from the Pokémon TCG API, One Piece images from OPTCG API and sports card images from SportsCardsPro. The cards belong to their respective rights holders.
More simulator questions
Are the odds real?
No. The odds are simulated and don't belong to any platform. Each pack is tuned so it pays back 90 to 95% of its price on average, depending on risk, which is in the range real platforms publish.
What do Low, Medium and High risk mean?
They change the spread of outcomes for the same pack price. Low gives more cards near the pack price, High gives more low pulls but more Chase hits. Average payback is slightly lower as risk goes up.
What are the tiers?
Common (0.2 to 0.7x the pack price), Uncommon (0.7 to 1x), Rare (1 to 1.5x), Epic (1.5 to 3x), Legendary (3 to 8x) and Chase (8x and up). A real card is drawn at random from all the cards whose market price falls in that tier.
What does the card back color mean?
While the card spins face down, its back climbs through the tier colors and stops on the tier you pulled: silver, green, blue, purple, orange, then gold for Chase. Then the real card dissolves into view.
Why does my balance usually go down?
Because average payback is below 100%. A big hit can put you ahead for a while, but over many packs the return tends to settle below the pack price. The Stats tab charts it pack by pack.

Rip responsibly
Pulls are random and a card can be worth far less than the pack. Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
