TRR Ex's I'm pretty sure are around 3 per box. As far as Gold Stars, the typical rate of most gold stars is 1 in every 3 boxes, so 1 in 108 packs.

Pull rates for Noble Victories can be discussed here.

It's the same as the other BW boxes, apparently. Meaning two, three if you're lucky. Which is really disappointing since there's five AND Meowth, IMO.

@pokemonjoe, from seeing primetimepokemon the energy takes the place of the RH, so theres a good chance (I'd say 1/4-1/5 depending on the set)

I don't if I should discuss this in this topic but anyway...
Does anyone suspects that online stores switch the cards in the packs?

I don't know, it's just that I bought the following items from an online store:
-Zoroark Box
-Reshiram & Zekrom Boxes
-Snivy, Tepig & Oshawott Boxes (with the Jumbos)
-Evolved Starter Tins

They arrived today and all of them were sealed and from all these items, I ended up with 25 packs of Emerging Powers. These are the main pulls:
-1 Thundurus FA
-3 Zoroark
-3 Virizion (1 Rev-holo)
-2 Gothitelle (Magic Room) (both Rev-holo)
-4 Darmanitan (2 Rev-holo)
-3 Gigalith (1 Rev-holo)
-3 Klinklang (2 Rev-holo)

how the hell is this even possible?! I mean, how did I pull 3 normal holo Zoroark or 4 Darmanitan (2 of them rev-holo)?
Well, while I managed to pull a FA, plus a Tornadus, and 1 Pokémon Catcher then there are things like:
5 or 6 Roggenrola (the one from the theme decks) but absolutly 0 of the other
or cards like Sandile (that come in theme deck too) which I pulled like 7 but other cards like Cottonee or Cubchoo (the one that isn't in theme deck) I only pulled 1 or even 0...
Then there are other curious cases like I pulled the same 3 uncommons in two different booster packs... Also, the borders of the packs weren't very straight...

I'm just wondering this cuz I had a similar case when I bought a RR booster box from another online store and the pulls were also very irregular...
Although I've bought boxes from other sets and this didn't happen.
So, what do you guys think? I remember that a person, here in the forum, once said this kind of things were really done by online stores...

typically, around 1 in 3 packs, and the Full Arts in the BW expansions are included in that.

I would hedge my bets that some cards with the same rarity have vastly different pull rates. Most of the cards you can get in decks seem to appear in the boosters far more than the cards you can't get in decks.

There are also a number of cards which just seem to pop up all the time.

For example, I've pulled four Zoroarks (EP), and only one of all the other holos. In BW I pulled a ridiculous number of Simisears and Darmanitans. In EP Sandile seems very common, as does Petlil, Basculin and Jolitk. In BW the most common commons appear to be Timburr (#59) and Snivy (#1).

Perhaps it's just coincidence, but I doubt it.
