12 Hardest Tauros Pokémon Cards to Pull
Ranked by estimated pull rates from English booster packs.
Tauros’s collection includes the familiar Kanto form and Paldean appearances, with rainbow and illustration cards adding variety. These are different numbered chases from ordinary set cards. Compare their estimated English pack odds here, with rough assumptions openly labelled.
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 Tauros ever printed; nearby estimates may not represent a real difference in difficulty.

This Team Up reverse holo is a separate target from its ordinary finish. Where a set has more than one artwork of the same Pokémon, the collector number matters just as much as the name.
Where this estimate comes from
Assumes 1 effective ordinary reverse-holo slots per pack, shared equally across 145 eligible reverse printings. This simplifies special-card replacements and unequal print sheets; the slot allowance is a modelling assumption.

Tauros lunges forward in rainbow colours on this secret GX card. The 156/149 number separates it from the other Sun & Moon Tauros-GX artworks. Its rough estimate uses an illustrative rarity assumption.
Where this estimate comes from
Illustrative starting assumption: one Rare Rainbow group hit in about 80 packs, shared equally across 8 eligible cards. No measured rate supports this assumed frequency; use it only as a rough scenario.
How we compare Tauros 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 Tauros 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.
Tauros pull-rate questions
Which Tauros card is hardest to pull?
Tauros GX (Secret) 156/149 (Sun & Moon Base Set, Holofoil) has the lowest estimated chance among the qualifying cards here: about 1 in 640 packs. This is the current model’s ordering, including any rough assumptions labelled above. It does not cover every Tauros ever released.
Will opening 640 packs guarantee the top-ranked card?
No. For the first card listed at rank 1, opening 640 independent packs gives an estimated 63.2% 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 Tauros 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 Tauros guide compares available raw prices instead.
Do a booster box or an Elite Trainer Box guarantee a Tauros?
These estimates do not establish any product-level guarantee. A named Tauros 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 Tauros 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.
