How to Tell the Rarity of a Pokémon Card
By Poke4India | Updated Sept 3, 2024 |
What Is Rarity in the Pokémon TCG?
Rarity is a designation that The Pokémon Company assigns to cards, in order to give a rough understanding of how many copies of that card exist.
Most Pokémon cards come in booster packs, which contain a random selection of cards from a larger set. Each booster pack comes with more cards from the lower rarities, and few (or no) cards of higher rarities.
And rarer cards are generally more scarce, they tend to be more valuable than lower rarity cards from the same set.
How Many Rarities Are There in the Pokémon TCG?
In general, Pokémon cards come in six rarities. From least to most rare, they are:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Holo Rare
- Ultra Rare
- Secret Rare
- Black Star Promo
