Disclaimer

PokéRip is an independent, fan-made simulator. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., Wizards of the Coast, or any of their subsidiaries, licensees, or affiliates.

All Pokémon names, character names, card artwork, set names, set logos, attack names, ability names, and related trademarks and copyrights are the property of their respective owners. PokéRip makes no claim of ownership over any of those marks. The simulator displays them strictly under fan-use conventions for the purpose of operating an entertainment-only TCG pack opening experience.

Card data (set lists, card details, attacks, abilities, illustrators) and card artwork are sourced from TCGdex, an open-source community-maintained Pokémon TCG database. PokéRip mirrors that data into its own infrastructure for performance and resilience, but the original source is the TCGdex project, and the underlying intellectual property rights remain with their respective rights-holders.

If you are a rights-holder and believe specific imagery or data on this site should be removed or attributed differently, contact us via the email below and we'll address it promptly.

Every "pack" you open on PokéRip is virtual:

• The cards you pull have no real-world existence and cannot be redeemed, exchanged, sold, or traded for physical product
• Pull rates are approximations of typical retail Pokémon TCG boosters, not exact reproductions
• PokéRip is for entertainment, education, and nostalgia only
• No actual product is being purchased, sold, traded, or transferred at any point

Users should not rely on PokéRip simulator results when making decisions about physical Pokémon TCG product. The actual hobby has many real-world variables — set, language, region, print run, retailer, pack collation, era, individual luck — that an approximate simulator cannot replicate.

PokéRip involves no real money, no purchases, no microtransactions, no in-app currency, no virtual goods of value, and no exchange of value of any kind. There is nothing tangible to win or lose.

The site simulates the experience of opening a trading card game booster pack you would have bought at retail. It is not a gambling product, does not simulate gambling outcomes for monetary purposes, and is not subject to gambling regulations in most jurisdictions.

If you struggle with gambling, compulsive collecting, or impulse spending in the physical hobby, please use PokéRip mindfully — and consider stepping away if it triggers unhealthy patterns. Resources for problem-gambling support are widely available at gamblinghelponline.org and similar national hotlines.

Nothing on PokéRip — including the rarity guide, FAQ entries, set descriptions, chase-card highlights, or any other content — constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Card values mentioned anywhere on the site (where mentioned) are general market observations that may be wildly out of date. The Pokémon TCG secondary market is volatile and prices can change rapidly.

Do not use PokéRip content as a basis to:

• Buy, sell, or grade physical Pokémon cards
• Predict the value of sealed product
• Treat the hobby as a financial investment
• Make purchasing or trading decisions

Consult independent professional advice and current market data sources for actual financial decisions.

The Service is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. PokéRip and its authors are not responsible for:

• Any decisions you make based on simulator results
• Any purchasing, selling, or grading decisions about physical cards
• Any frustration, disappointment, or hype experienced from virtual pulls
• Outages, image loading errors, or temporary unavailability
• Lost binder data due to clearing browser storage, browser updates, or switching devices
• Inaccuracies in pull rates, card metadata, or rarity classifications

The pull rates PokéRip simulates (approximately 74% rare/holo, 14% ultra rare, 6% secret rare, 2% special illustration / hyper rare in the rare slot) are approximations. They are based on community-aggregated estimates from large-sample box openings and are not official figures from The Pokémon Company.

Real-world pull rates differ significantly between sets, between print runs of the same set, between languages and regions, and between retail product and Elite Trainer Boxes / collection boxes / etc. PokéRip does not differentiate these — it applies one approximate model across all sets in the simulator.

For more precise community pull-rate data, consult dedicated tracking communities (Reddit's r/pkmntcg, large-volume opening creators on YouTube, etc.).

"Pokémon", "Pokémon TCG", "Pokémon Trading Card Game", and the various Pokémon character names, ability names, and attack names are trademarks of Nintendo, Game Freak, and/or Creatures Inc. They are used here under fan-use conventions for the sole purpose of identifying and discussing the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Other trademarks referenced anywhere on the site (TCGdex and any service-provider names) are property of their respective owners.

PokéRip exists because pack opening is a fundamentally satisfying experience that deserves to be accessible without spending money. Whether you grew up tearing Base Set packs in 1999 or you're discovering the hobby through Scarlet & Violet today, the simulator is here to recreate that moment of anticipation — without the financial cost or environmental impact of physical product.

If you want to support the actual Pokémon TCG ecosystem, please buy product from official Pokémon Center retailers, your local game store, or licensed distributors.
