Many modern Japanese sets have a guaranteed* number of hits per booster box. For High Class Packs, there is also the possibility of pulling a "God Pack", a very rare booster pack where the majority cards pulled are hits.
Booster box guaranteed hit rates are specific to Japanese Pokémon TCG. English booster boxes will always be random.Â
*While unconfirmed by TPCi, there is a high suggestion of guarantee based on pull rates reported by numerous collectors across sets.
Â
SCARLET & VIOLET:
Guaranteed hit rates in Japanese Scarlet & Violet booster boxes seem to be consistent across all non-High Class Pack sets, with the only difference being the inclusion of an ACE SPEC card for sets that contain those cards.
The High Class Pack and Special Expansions from Scarlet & Violet each have a different combination of guaranteed hits.

Â
SWORD & SHIELD:
Guaranteed hit rates for Japanese Sword & Shield booster boxes aren't as well documented as those from Scarlet & Violet. Through online self-reports, there is a enough consistency though to suggest a guarantee across at least a few sets (listed below).Â
For most other Sword & Shield sets, it's generally assumed that there is a guarantee of at least 1 secret rare per booster box* along with a few V+ cards. However, there are some sets (eg. Blue Sky Stream, Towering Perfection) where people have reported pulling no secret rares, as well as some instances across various sets where people have reported puling more than one secret rare.
*For some Japanese sets, TPCi promoted (via X, formerly known as Twitter) that the booster boxes would have a guaranteed secret rare per box.
