Salamence ex is card #156 of 30th Celebration (2026), a Special Illustration Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Ryota Murayama.
Salamence ex appears in 8 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The 30th Celebration (2026) #156 card is the most recent of 8 printings (2005–2026). Ryota Murayama only illustrated this 30th Celebration version; other printings credit Mitsuhiro Arita, Hikaru Koike, 5ban Graphics. Other Salamence ex printings sit at Rare Holo EX, Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Promo rarity tiers, so this Special Illustration Rare 30th Celebration card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 330 HP, while other Salamence ex cards in the catalogue range from 160 to 330 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Salamence ex hub page.

The 1 in 172 pull chance is calculated from the 30th Celebration rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Salamence ex or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
