Question 1

What is PackIQ?

Accepted Answer

PackIQ is a live analytics site for Pokémon pack buyers. It tracks every pull on Collector Crypt Pokémon machines, shows expected value (EV) per machine, real returns from recent pulls, droughts since the last chase, and cards listed below their value.

Question 2

What is expected value (EV) on a pack machine?

Accepted Answer

EV is the average card value you get per pack divided by the pack price. Above 1.0x means the average pull is worth more than the pack; below 1.0x means less. PackIQ shows both the odds-based EV and the real EV from recent pulls.

Question 3

Does PackIQ cover Collector Crypt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PackIQ tracks every Collector Crypt Pokémon gacha machine: published odds, EV, stock, rare and epic droughts, and a live pull feed, using Collector Crypt's public APIs.

Question 4

Can PackIQ predict the next pull?

Accepted Answer

No. Every pull is random and independent. PackIQ shows what has happened and what the published odds imply, so you can make an informed decision, but it cannot predict a specific pull.

Question 5

How do the deal alerts work?

Accepted Answer

PackIQ scans the Collector Crypt marketplaces every few minutes for graded Pokémon cards listed well below their fair market or insured value, and posts them on the deals page and in Discord.

Question 6

How does the AI card grader work?

Accepted Answer

Upload photos of the front and back of a Pokémon card and the AI grader returns a predicted grade with centering, corners, edges and surface sub-grades plus an estimated value.

Question 7

What do the 70%, 80% and 90% deal tiers mean?

Accepted Answer

A 70% deal is a graded card listed at 70% of its Collector Crypt insured value or less. An 80% deal is listed at 80% or less. A 90% deal is listed at 90% or less and only counts for cards worth $100 or more.

Question 8

What are the odds on Collector Crypt Pokémon packs?

Accepted Answer

Each Collector Crypt machine publishes its own odds. Most Pokémon machines give about 1% epic, 4% rare, and the rest uncommon and common cards. PackIQ shows the published odds, the real hit rate from recent pulls and the drought since the last rare or epic for every machine.

Question 9

Is PackIQ free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PackIQ is free to use during beta.
