What’s New
Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes introduces God Packs and God Boxes, features that have generated significant discussion among collectors. God Packs guarantee an Illustration Rare, Special Illustration Rare, or higher in every card slot within a pack. The set also includes Demigod Packs, which contain three to six high-value cards. These chase elements are intentionally included by The Pokémon Company, continuing a trend seen in recent special sets.
Configuration at a Glance
- God Packs: Each card in the pack is an Illustration Rare, Special Illustration Rare, or higher.
- Demigod Packs: Contain three to six high-value cards per pack.
- God Boxes: Refers to trainer boxes with unusually strong pulls; these are random occurrences and not officially seeded.
- Standard configuration for packs and boxes follows usual Pokémon TCG structure, with a mix of commons, uncommons, rares, and chase cards.

Collector Notes
- God Packs are intentionally seeded by The Pokémon Company in Ascended Heroes.
- God Boxes, defined as boxes with unusually strong pulls, occur randomly and are not a guaranteed or manufactured feature.
- Pack weighing has been debated since the Base Set, with no definitive evidence that weight can reliably reveal God Packs or God Boxes in Ascended Heroes.
- Manufacturing variations in card stock and packaging materials can affect weight, making it unreliable for identifying special packs or boxes.
- Trainer boxes contain multiple components (packs, promo cards, accessories), further complicating any attempt to identify God Boxes by weight.
- No official odds or serial numbering for God Packs or Demigod Packs are provided by The Pokémon Company.
