Find out all details about Card Rarity in Pokemon TCG Pocket in this guide as we list each type and their drop rates from the Booster Packs.
If you have downloaded Pokemon TCG Pocket, you are either a collector or a competitive PvP player. Irrespective of which category you fall into, you should have an impressive collection of cards. Competitive battles will mostly see a continuous shift in meta as more cards are introduced. This would mean you need to keep up and continuously improve your collection to make various decks.
Since this is a Trading Card Game, the rarity of the cards is always an important factor. Not all cards share the same status, and the same Pokemon can have multiple cards with varying rarity. In this guide, we will explain the card rarity system in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
