10 Hardest Raticate Pokémon Cards to Pull
Ranked by estimated pull rates from English booster packs.
Raticate has more variety than its ordinary card names might suggest, from Alolan and Team Rocket printings to a modern illustration rare. Here, each English collector number and finish is a separate chase, ranked by the existing estimated chance per pack.
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 Raticate ever printed; nearby estimates may not represent a real difference in difficulty.

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.
Reverse holos use the community single-sheet estimate of 1/110. Common and uncommon estimates approximate the mixed nine-card sheet.

Several Raticate crowd a busy indoor scene with Team Rocket figures in this illustration rare, giving the card plenty of detail to explore. The owner’s name and 202/182 collector number are both useful details when comparing it with ordinary Raticate cards or the set’s reverse holo.
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.
Published TCGplayer opening frequencies. Specific-card rates assume an equal share of its rarity pool; these are estimates, not manufacturer odds. Common and uncommon cards use a uniform slot approximation. Ordinary reverse odds are unavailable. Independent pack calculations do not reproduce print-sheet collation.
How we compare Raticate 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 Raticate 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.
Raticate pull-rate questions
Which Raticate card is hardest to pull?
Team Rocket's Raticate 202/182 (Destined Rivals, Holofoil) has the lowest estimated chance among the qualifying cards here: about 1 in 280 packs. This is the current model’s ordering, including any rough assumptions labelled above. It does not cover every Raticate ever released.
Will opening 280 packs guarantee the top-ranked card?
No. For the first card listed at rank 1, opening 280 independent packs gives an estimated 63.6% 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 Raticate 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 Raticate guide compares available raw prices instead.
Do a booster box or an Elite Trainer Box guarantee a Raticate?
These estimates do not establish any product-level guarantee. A named Raticate 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 Raticate 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.
