Is a booster box of DLR worth opening?
On average, no: selling the cards from a DLR box would get you $114, 53% of the $215 it costs. A typical box gives $81.17 and only 9.8% of boxes get your money back. If you're after a specific card, buying it as a single is usually cheaper.
How reliable the rates are: low (the game's generic rates: this set has no estimates of its own).

Where the numbers come from
The expected value adds up, for each rarity group, the copies in a box times the average price of its cards (the English card, with its TCGplayer price or, if there isn't one, Cardmarket's converted). The simulation opens 10,000 boxes with the same rates.
Estimate: TCGplayer hasn't published a study of this set yet, which has the same layout as the main Mega Evolution sets. It uses the average of the four measured ones (Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, Perfect Order and Chaos Rising), with the range of all of them: Double Rare 1 in 5 packs, Ultra Rare 1 in 12, Illustration Rare 1 in 9, Special Illustration Rare 1 in 85 and Mega Hyper Rare 1 in 1,250. Commons, uncommons, rares and reverse holos come from the pack layout (4 commons, 3 uncommons, 2 reverse holo slots and 1 rare or better).
