Right now: the best rip in Shining Legends is the Elite Trainer Box at $921.66 against $166.99 of expected pulls — a −85% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.
Shining Legends, released October 6, 2017, brought Shining Pokémon back for the first time since the Neo era, headlined by Shining Mew — and it also hides a rainbow Charizard-GX, which does as much for pack prices as the shinies do. It's a special set: no 36-pack booster box was ever sold, and its Elite Trainer Box holds 10 packs rather than the mainline 8.
Under our model, the hit slot beats a plain holo roughly 1 in 6 to 7 packs, with the Shining tier at about 1 in 17, full arts near 1 in 15, rainbows around 1 in 50 and golds about 1 in 100. Community estimates — official rates don't exist.
The EV picture is classic special-set economics: limited print, no box option, two marquee chases, and sealed prices that reflect all three. The average pack returns a small slice of its cost, so the live table below is mostly a measure of how much you're paying for the experience.
