Price: $19.99
Silver Tempest sleeved booster packs from the Sword & Shield era come as single units, each containing 10 cards straight from the set. You’ll get a mix like five commons, three uncommons, one rare or better, and a reverse holo that could land anywhere in the pack. Sometimes that rare slot upgrades to a holo or even an ultra rare if luck’s on your side. Oh, and don’t forget the basic Energy card tucked in there, plus a code card for the online game—handy for digital battles without the mess.
From what I’ve seen in community openings on YouTube and Reddit, plus some data pulls from sites like tcgplayer, these packs average about a 1 in 6 chance for an Illustration Rare or better per pack. Secret Illustration Rares show up roughly once every 20-30 packs, while Hyper Rares (like those gold VSTARs) are even tougher, maybe 1 in 50 or so based on box breakdowns. Full Art Trainers pop occasionally too, adding some variety. It’s not a guarantee in one pack, but that’s the fun of it—averages from thousands of rips give a sense of the odds.
Personally, I’m always eyeing a few chases from this set. Lugia VSTAR Rainbow Rare, with that majestic wingspread against the stormy sky. Alolan Vulpix VSTAR, fluffy and fierce in its icy pose. Unown V Alternate Art, all mysterious with those floating letters in a cosmic void. Regidrago V Alternate Art, dragon energy swirling like a vortex. And Serperior VSTAR, coiled up regal in that lush forest scene.
Fingers crossed for that foil pull that makes you pause mid-rip.
Quick Facts:
– Expected Hits: About 1 rare per pack; ultra rare odds around 1:6 from community data.

Reverse holos in every pack, with potential for upgrades.
