10 Hardest Mewtwo Pokémon Cards to Pull
Ranked by estimated pull rates from English booster packs.
Mewtwo’s solo and Team Rocket printings offer dramatic alternatives for a Psychic-type collection. Different ex artworks can share a name while belonging to separate numbered rarity pools. This guide compares existing English estimates, preserving rough evidence labels and exact printing details.
Pull rates are estimates—see how this ranking works.
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 Mewtwo ever printed; nearby estimates may not represent a real difference in difficulty.

How we compare Mewtwo 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 Mewtwo 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.
Mewtwo pull-rate questions
Which Mewtwo card is hardest to pull?
Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex 281/217 (Ascended Heroes, Holofoil) has the lowest estimated chance among the qualifying cards here: about 1 in 1,500 packs. This is the current model’s ordering, including any rough assumptions labelled above. It does not cover every Mewtwo ever released.
Will opening 1,500 packs guarantee the top-ranked card?
No. For the first card listed at rank 1, opening 1,500 independent packs gives an estimated 62.5% 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 Mewtwo 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 Mewtwo guide compares available raw prices instead.
Do a booster box or an Elite Trainer Box guarantee a Mewtwo?
These estimates do not establish any product-level guarantee. A named Mewtwo 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.
