The odds
Raikou is a Rare in Lost Thunder — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 59.7% of the time, split across 38 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 64 packs.
Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates
Only 45% of 60 PSA-graded Raikou copies are a gem-mint 10 (27 of 60) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Raikou 10 is harder to pull.
