What Is a Pokémon God Pack?
Share
If you're deep into the world of Pokémon TCG, you've likely heard the term “God Pack.” These ultra-rare booster packs are the stuff of legend—and for good reason.
Originally unique to Japanese sets, God Packs have become a high-chase moment for collectors. And now, even English Pokémon sets are starting to show signs of similar rare pack structures.
Let’s break down what God Packs really are, which sets include them, and how they’ve evolved.
1. What Is a God Pack?
A God Pack is a booster pack where every card inside is a holo, ultra rare, or better. Instead of the usual mix of commons and uncommons, you get hit after hit in a single pack.
In most cases, this means:
All 10 cards are holographic or higher.
Many contain multiple Full Arts, Secret Rares, or Shiny Pokémon.
Some are themed (e.g., all Shiny Pokémon or all Character Rares).
2. Which Japanese Sets Have God Packs?
God Packs originated in the Japanese Pokémon TCG and only appear in select High-Class Packs or special sets. Known sets include:
Tag Team GX All Stars (2019)
Shiny Star V (2020)
VMAX Climax (2021)
VSTAR Universe (2022)
Shiny Treasure ex (2023)
Pokémon Card 151 (2023)
Terastal Festival ex (2024)
These packs have built-in odds, though very rare—typically 1 in 200 to 600 packs depending on the set.
3. What Do You Get in a God Pack?
The exact contents depend on the set, but common God Pack types include:
All Shiny Pokémon (e.g., Shiny Star V)
Full Character Rare sets (e.g., VSTAR Universe)
Secret Evolution Lines (e.g., Pokémon 151)
Full Art/Gold/VSTAR hits in a single pack
In some sets like Tag Team GX All Stars, God Packs include multiple GX cards or Secret Rares.
4. Do English Pokémon Sets Have God Packs?
Historically, English sets did not include true God Packs due to randomized collation.
But that’s changing.
English Scarlet & Violet: 151 introduced a new phenomenon: unofficial “God” or “Demigod Packs.” Some collectors pulled packs containing:
Full holo evolution lines
Multiple ultra rares or Secret Rares in one pack
This trend continued in Prismatic Evolutions and newer Scarlet & Violet-era sets. While not officially advertised, these English God Pack-style pulls are real and confirmed by the community—though still incredibly rare.
5. How Rare Are God Packs?
In Japanese sets, estimated odds are:
| Set | God Pack Odds |
|---|---|
| Tag Team GX | 1 in ~250 packs |
| Shiny Star V | 1 in ~250 packs |
| VSTAR Universe | 1 in ~600 packs |
| Shiny Treasure ex | 1 in ~500–600 packs |
English God Packs? There are no confirmed odds, and they’re not guaranteed—but they're starting to happen.
6. How to Get a God Pack
There’s no way to predict a God Pack—but here’s how to give yourself the best shot:
Buy sealed Japanese booster boxes from reputable sellers.
Avoid loose or “single” packs unless they’re guaranteed unweighed.
Be cautious with resellers who may weigh or reseal packs.
