All different Pokémon TCG card rarities
If you’re getting into the Pokémon Trading Card Game for the first time and looking to open packs, it’s worth knowing the Pokémon TCG card rarities in case you want to sell or trade them in the future. The TCG has Common, Uncommon, and Rare cards with much more nuance in the Rare varieties.
The Pokémon Company created this game around trading, so having good cards to trade and knowing how to find out if a card is rare is vital to not getting ripped off. Keeping track of different Rare variants has become increasingly difficult over the years, though. And Japanese Pokémon TCG cards use different rarity symbols than English cards do, adding to the confusion.
