Ruby/Sapphire and Sandstorm Packs -- rarity?

[CPUSrchDiscarding2forOak]

Quick Q: Is it possible for you to get only a non-holo rare and a random RH in Ruby/Sapphire or Sandstorm packs, or is there either a holo or an EX in every pack now?

I've bought 12 packs of SS and gotten 7 packs containing a Normal Holo, Reverse Holo, and non-holo Rare, and 5 packs containing an EX Pokemon, Reverse Holo, and non-holo Rare. Is this luck or normal pack distribution?

Luck. Holos are still 1:3 packs. EX were supposed to be 1:3 also but the first print run of R&S had them packed out as a regular rare. Later printing had EX packed out at 1:3. With SS, it looks like EX are packed out 1:3 again.

Packed as a regular rare? That explains why I've pulled 3 Ex Pokemon out of 6 packs at a gas station I just noticed had R&S. Hmm, $4 a pack, but if I can keep getting Ex....

Heh, out of 9 packs from that gas station, I've gotten 5 Ex. Unfortunately, one was Sneasel. The other ones were nice, though. Magmar, Electabuzz (was actually looking for those 2), Chansey, and Mewtwo (woo hoo!!!).
