11 Hardest Ivysaur Pokémon Cards to Pull
Ranked by estimated pull rates from English booster packs.
Ivysaur deserves its own space between Bulbasaur and Venusaur in a binder. Illustration rares and older foil versions give this middle evolution several distinct chases. This countdown compares the estimated chance of finding each exact printing in its English packs.
Estimated odds, limited coverage. This uses the same estimates as our pull-rate calculators, including labelled rough models and very-low-confidence assumptions. It does not establish the hardest Ivysaur ever printed; nearby estimates may not represent a real difference in difficulty.

This EX Crystal Guardians printing adds a reverse-holo version to the Pokémon’s checklist. The estimate concerns the exact collector number shown. An ordinary card with the same artwork does not count as this foil pull.
Where this estimate comes from
Assumes 1 effective ordinary reverse-holo slots per pack, shared equally across 88 eligible reverse printings. This simplifies special-card replacements and unequal print sheets; the slot allowance is a modelling assumption.

Legendary Collection’s distinctive reverse-holo treatment makes this a different collecting target from the ordinary finish. The displayed image may be an artwork reference; check the actual foil pattern when buying.
Where this estimate comes from
The estimated rarity frequency is divided across the eligible cards in that pool, assuming equal individual chances. It is not a measured count of this particular card.

Ivysaur moves through a lush watery setting beneath its pink bud, giving an evolution-line collection a richly detailed middle stage. Number 167/165 keeps it distinct from the standard and reverse-holo versions of 002/165.

Published TCGplayer opening frequencies. Specific-card rates assume an equal share of its rarity pool; these are estimates, not manufacturer odds.

How we compare Ivysaur pull rates
We compare the chance of pulling one exact card from one English pack of its release. A rarity’s overall hit rate is different from the odds of finding a particular Ivysaur within that rarity. Evidence ranges from reported community openings and print-sheet models to rough comparisons and assumed rarity frequencies. Each rough estimate carries its warning beside the odds; expand its explanation for the actual basis.
Japanese cards, guaranteed promos, deck cards and box toppers are outside this ranking. Vintage editions with shared odds take one position. Distinct pack-pulled finishes can qualify separately. Prices do not affect the order, and a missing price does not remove an otherwise eligible card.
Up to ten cards are selected automatically from available estimates, with any tie at the cutoff kept together. Estimates are rounded to two significant digits for comparison, not presented as precise measurements. New cards can enter when a matching printing and estimate are available; prices refresh with the catalogue. Descriptions stay with their card when the order changes.
Ivysaur pull-rate questions
Which Ivysaur card is hardest to pull?
Ivysaur 134/132 (Mega Evolution, Holofoil) has the lowest estimated chance among the qualifying cards here: about 1 in 200 packs. This is the current model’s ordering, including any rough assumptions labelled above. It does not cover every Ivysaur ever released.
Will opening 200 packs guarantee the top-ranked card?
No. For the first card listed at rank 1, opening 200 independent packs gives an estimated 62.9% chance of at least one copy. The average waiting time is not a promise; actual packs and factory collation can behave differently from this model.
Is the hardest Ivysaur to pull also the most expensive?
Not necessarily. Artwork, demand, condition and how much product exists also matter to collectors. This guide ranks estimated pack odds. Our most expensive Ivysaur guide compares available raw prices instead.
Do a booster box or an Elite Trainer Box guarantee a Ivysaur?
These estimates do not establish any product-level guarantee. A named Ivysaur promo included in a product is separate from the random cards inside its booster packs. Use the exact-card calculator to explore pack quantities and its stated assumptions.
Why can a reverse-holo Ivysaur rank above a rarer-looking card?
This compares one exact printing. A large reverse-holo pool can make a particular card’s modelled chance small even when reverse holos overall are common. Most of these estimates assume equal chances within the pool. That does not prove this Pokémon is short-printed, and it does not describe the ordinary non-holo version.
