A single 10-card Obsidian Flames booster with random contents. The Tera Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare is the estimated headline pull at long community-observed odds. A heavily printed mainline set, so packs are often findable near retail — a reasonable casual open, though the single remains the predictable route to any specific card.
A standard 36-pack Obsidian Flames booster box. A box provides a wide sample of the set but does not guarantee the Charizard ex SIR or any other specific card. Generous print runs have kept box prices closer to MSRP than most Charizard-led sets — still, compare the live price before buying.
Six random Obsidian Flames packs in a simple box with no accessories — typically the cheapest per-pack way to buy the set sealed at retail. Contents are random and no hit is guaranteed. Compare the per-pack price against loose packs and the ETB before buying.
The Obsidian Flames Elite Trainer Box bundles 9 random booster packs with sleeves, dice, energy cards and a promo. Packs from an ETB have no special odds — the accessories and presentation are the reason to pick it over loose packs. A solid entry point for newer collectors into a Charizard-headlined set.
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.
Gloom is part of Obsidian Flames. Products from that set that can contain it: Obsidian Flames Booster Pack, Obsidian Flames Booster Box, Obsidian Flames Booster Bundle, Obsidian Flames Elite Trainer Box. Every pack is random — no product guarantees this card.
No card-level observed estimate is available. Its rarity tier (Illustration 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.
