What Are the Rare Cards to Date?

Alright, so here’s the thing. Pokémon TCG Pocket is this wild ride of a game that’s, yeah, free-to-play – if you can dodge the gacha traps. Every day, you get these booster packs. And honestly? Each time feels like opening a fortune cookie, hoping for the golden ticket but, well, mostly getting the tiny motivational speech instead. Deckbuilding’s the name of the game here, and it’s addictive as heck, grabbing folks like me and maybe you too? I mean, freebies are great and all, but racking up those cards? It’s like trying to catch a breeze in a bottle. So, you get the drill – it’s tricky to crown a single card as the rarest in this chaotic realm. But we’ve got some contenders.

Two main paths, you know? First, it’s pure stats – the odds of stumbling upon a card in these packs. So, here we’ve got our so-called rarest cards, by design. Then there’s the other factor – availability, as if that makes it simpler! Anyway, about 13 cards hover around the rarity top tier, but who knows? New releases around the corner could shuffle the deck, almost literally.

Talking about rarities is like unraveling a mystery. Imagine a sorted list, if you will – Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Crown Gold sits right at the dizzying peak, because why not? Eevee Grove’s latest scene stealer serves us an array of head-scratchers:

– Genetic Apex dishes out Charizard Ex, Pikachu Ex, and Mewtwo Ex, flaunting teeny tiny percentages around 0.013% for some slots, but hey, don’t let that stop you. Meanwhile, unlatching a whole God Pack gives a 5% thrill – Jackpot! Or not. Confusion, anyone?

– Meanwhile, Mythical Island drops Mew Ex into the mix, trying to one-up with its flashy 0.040% rarity. It’s neck and neck with Space-Time Smackdown’s Dialga Ex and Palkia Ex players, but who’s really counting?

– Whoops! Almost lost track there. Then we’ve got Arceus Ex sitting snugly in Triumphant Light, basically tiny odds whispering, “Catch me if you can!” Shining Revelry’s Poke Ball and Celestial Guardians’ Lunala Ex also join this glamorous little rarity conga.

Scratching my head again, is it possible the rarest of them all really is Charizard Ex of Gold Crown fame? Maybe. Or possibly that shiny new Eevee Bag lacks the numbers game—old hat versus the fresh face, y’know?

Hold up. Throwing a curveball, Lapras Ex swoops in from beyond – a promo card, sliding in like a shadow amongst Titans. Unique? A tad. Some had it from way back when the game first went live, making it an antique of sorts. It’s not even in those Genetic Apex packs! Talk about being a relic. So there it is. Maybe the rarest cards aren’t numbers but stories. Every turn of the pack is a story, after all. Who’d have guessed?
