What this is
The rhythm of Japan's high-class packs, the premium sets each year: one every October to December for eight straight years, 2018 to 2025, each about two to three times the size of a regular set.
How it’s built
- Listed each high-class pack's release date from the official Japanese card site and a fan database, and compared their median size with the median regular set.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Example: MEGA Dream ex came out on 28 November 2025 and Terastal Festival ex on 6 December 2024. The two sources' medians agree within about 2%.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- One per year Oct Dec: 8 consecutive years 2018-2025
- Multiple of regular expansion median: 264.5 / 99-133 = 2.0-2.7x
- official [210,237,243,250,279,326,351,360] median (250+279)/2 = 264.5
- Serebii [173,240,243,250,267,285,330,360] median (250+267)/2 = 258.5
- 264.5/133 = 1.99, 264.5/99 = 2.67
