Red Card

Red Card is a Common card from the Promo A set — a Trainer card of the Item kind: no HP, no evolution, no attacks of its own. It hits the table, fires its effect, and steps aside.

What it does: Red Card Trainer - Item

Trainer cards are balanced by how often you may play them in a turn, not by damage. Read the effect against what your deck is short of — energy acceleration, draw, healing, or forcing a switch — because a Trainer is only strong when it solves the exact bottleneck your deck actually has.

This card is not in any openable pack: Red Card is a PROMO card that only comes from events, login gifts or in-game rewards. No amount of pack opening will produce it — do not burn currency on that door.

Because no pack contains it, this page prints NO per-slot pull rate and NO expected pack count for Red Card — inventing a number here would be a lie. The two remaining routes are Pack Points and trading, right below.

For Red Card the "open packs" route simply DOES NOT EXIST: no openable pack contains it, so any pull rate or expected pack count would be meaningless here.

The second path removes luck entirely. Every pack you open awards 5 Pack Points (an official in-game mechanic, not part of the drop-rate table) regardless of what comes out of it, and those points accumulate until you can redeem this exact card outright. Red Card costs 35 PP — no pulls, no gambling, just the count.

The third path is trading, which spends Shinedust rather than Pack Points, and whether it is open to you depends entirely on the card's rarity. For Red Card: It can be traded, and it costs 0 Shinedust.

Red Card does not evolve from or into anything — it stands alone.

Some Pokémon are also printed more than once — across different sets or promo drops, with different art, different rarity, and sometimes different attacks under the same name. Where other printings of this card exist, they are linked on this page, because the stats can differ even when the name matches.

Red Card is not a core card in any of the 50 meta decks currently tracked. It is a filler card: Pack Points cost only 35, so do not burn packs hunting it — open packs for the rare slots and this one arrives on its own.

The meta deck table is recomputed from tournament data (play rate plus win/loss/tie record), not from anyone's opinion. A card missing from that table can still be beautiful and still be expensive to trade for, but it will not win games on its own — those are two different questions and this page answers them separately.

Which pack should I open to get Red Card?

None of them. Red Card is a PROMO card — it does not appear in the pull table of any openable pack; the only sources are in-game events and gifts, plus Pack Points or trading if its rarity allows it.

Roughly how many packs does it take to pull Red Card?

There is no number to give, because Red Card does not drop from any pack — opening more will never produce it. Look at the other two routes instead: Pack Points and trading.

Can I trade for Red Card instead of pulling it?

It can be traded, and it costs 0 Shinedust. Trading uses Shinedust, and whether a card is tradeable at all is fixed by its rarity tier — Immersive Rare and Crown Rare cards can never be traded under any circumstance, so for those two tiers Pack Points or a direct pull are the only ways in.
