200 packs.

30 hits.

Youtuber Leonhart opened up 200 Pokemon Trading Card Game Sun & Moon booster packs from Dollar Tree (an entire box), over the course of a 10 day special. Each of those packs includes 3 cards with no guarantees.

I figured it would be informative to cover the Rare Reverse Holo or better cards (a.k.a. a "hit") that he pulled. Please note that other boxes might have a worse pull rate.

Overall: Leonhart pulled a hit in approximately 1:7 packs, or 1:20 cards. That's quite surprising!

What's even more surprising is he pulled an Ultra Rare card in 1:67 cards, which is better than most hobby boxes, that typically includes an Ultra Rare card in 1:90 cards.
