The odds

Articuno is a Holo / V / ex in Next Destinies — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 16 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 57 packs.

Holo / V / ex27.9%16 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)11.9%17 of 143
PSA 942.7%61 of 143
PSA graded so far143
Gem Mint 1017
Total graded143

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.

PSA 9$65.00$71$1112.3×

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.
