The English Pokémon card rarity guide

Ex Deoxys

Despite the fact that this set contains the famous Gold Star Rayquaza card, there is not terribly much to say about it, save for the fact that compared with Ex Team Rocket Returns, another set considered very hard to find nowadays, there are very few (four in total) videos of complete box openings on Youtube.

All four boxes contained 9 holos, 3 Pokémon-ex and 0 Gold Stars. I will assume the Gold Stars take the place of a Pokémon-ex when they appear, as is the case in Ex Team Rocket Returns and Ex Unseen Forces. I am also guessing their overall rarity to be 1 in 3 boxes, like the average of all the sets containing them.

The rarity table for this set looks like the one for Ex Team Rocket Returns, minus the secret rare (“O” being the box topper, Rocket’s Raikou ex):

The raw data for the holos, rares and Pokémon-ex looks as follows (dashed lines indicating where the transition from H8 to H7, R9 to R8 and EX13 to EX12 would occur):

I did not look at the commons or uncommons. The reverses data (3 of the 4 boxes looked at) best fits a 110 card sheet being used, with 15 reverse commons being printed twice:
