Quick answer
Arceus V is a Ultra Rare card from Brilliant Stars (Pokémon TCG). If you only want this specific card, buying the single card may be more predictable than opening sealed packs.
The Arceus V alternate art is the set mascot's premium print and a steady collector favorite. It is far more attainable than the Charizard V alt, but still a random long-odds pull — the single is the reliable way to get it.
Rough market estimate: ~$62 (editorial estimate — always check live listings)

A single 10-card Brilliant Stars pack with random contents, from the set that introduced VSTAR cards and the Trainer Gallery. The Charizard V alternate art is the estimated headline pull at long odds. The set is out of print, so loose packs carry secondary-market pricing — buy from reputable sellers and compare the cost of singles first.
A standard 36-pack Brilliant Stars booster box, now out of print and trading above its original retail price. A box samples the set broadly but does not guarantee the Charizard V alt art or any other specific card. Check current street prices against recent sold listings and authenticate the seller before buying aged sealed product.
The Brilliant Stars Elite Trainer Box pairs 8 booster packs with sleeves, dice, energy cards and a promo — SWSH-era ETBs shipped with 8 packs rather than the 9 in current sets, so verify the pack count on the listing. Packs inside have no special odds. Out of print, it now appeals mainly to sealed collectors; compare per-pack cost against loose packs before buying to open.
Estimates, not guarantees
Pull statistics are estimates based on available data and may vary. Opening packs is random. No pack, box, or sealed product guarantees a specific card unless the product explicitly states it.
Always check official product details and set lists before buying.
Arceus V is part of Brilliant Stars. Products from that set that can contain it: Brilliant Stars Booster Pack, Brilliant Stars Booster Box, Brilliant Stars Elite Trainer Box. Every pack is random — no product guarantees this card.
No card-level observed estimate is available. Its rarity tier (Ultra Rare) is the best general guide, and pulling any specific card is random.
If you only want this specific card, buying the single card may be more predictable than opening sealed packs. Packs make sense when you enjoy opening and want many cards from the set, not just this one.
Collect responsibly
Open packs for fun and collecting. If you need a specific card, compare the cost of buying the single.
