Gundam Card Game pull rates: what is known and what is not

What Bandai does and does not publish

Each booster set has an official product page. For Freedom Ascension [GD05], released July 24, 2026, the page lists an MSRP of $4.99, a pack of 12 cards, and a rarity line of 138+10 card types: 50 Common, 36 Uncommon, 32 Rare, 12 Legend Rare, 8 Special, 2 Token and 8 Special EX Resource. The page highlights new Link Rare cards, SP cards and a record five types of LR++. It does not say how often any of them appear.

That pattern holds across the booster pages from GD01 to GD06. They give design counts and pack contents, and list no pull rates. So when someone quotes an exact rate for a rarity, it is not from Bandai.

The official counts, set by set

These are the card types listed on the official booster pages as of October 1, 2026. The first number covers the Common to Legend Rare and Special card types, the second the token and resource types, as printed on each page. Stardust Trails [GD06] had not been released on that date, so its page shows the planned contents.

Dual Impact [GD02], October 24, 2025: 130+13, with 50 Common, 36 Uncommon, 32 Rare, 12 Legend Rare, 3 Token and 10 Resource. Steel Requiem [GD03], January 30, 2026: 139+20, with 50 Common, 36 Uncommon, 34 Rare, 12 Legend Rare, 7 Special, 10 Token and 10 Resource. Freedom Ascension [GD05]: 138+10 as above. Stardust Trails [GD06], releasing October 30, 2026: 135+8, with 50 Common, 36 Uncommon, 32 Rare, 12 Legend Rare, 5 Special and 8 Token.

Packs for GD01 through GD04 are listed as 12+1 cards, while the GD05 and GD06 pages list 12 cards. Read each set's own page before comparing packs.

Why counts are not odds

A count says how many different designs exist. It does not say how many packs contain one. A set with 12 Legend Rare designs could place them in one pack out of four or one out of forty, and the count looks the same.

The same goes for box math. Multiplying a count by a number of packs gives a number that looks like a rate but is only arithmetic on design counts. Parallel versions make it worse: the GD05 page says Link Rare cards are included as parallel cards of cards featured in the set. Our rarity guide explains the marks. Even the record five types of LR++ that the GD05 page advertises is a count of designs: it tells you there are five to look for, not how many packs it takes to find one.

How to read a community tally

This part is our own advice. We cite no community count in this guide, so any rate you find online is yours to weigh. Look for four things: how many packs or boxes were opened, whether the author opened them or collected reports, which set and print it covers, and how the author counted + and ++ marks and parallels.

Small samples mislead in both directions. A person who opened a few boxes and found no Legend Rare has learned very little about the rate, and so has someone who pulled several. Treat the figure as an estimate, and distrust a precise percentage built from a small count.

How to log your own packs

Your own record is the only data you can fully trust, and it also helps you decide whether to buy more packs. Write down the set, the date and where you bought the packs, then for each pack list the rarity of every card, including + and ++ marks and any promo or Link Rare version.

Note whether the packs came from a box, a bundle or single purchases, because mixed sources blur the tally. Keep going across many packs before you read anything into the totals. The total packs opened is the number that matters most, so never delete a record of a pack with nothing good in it.
