Which Cards Are the Rarest? (As of Now)

Alright, let’s dive into this wild ride about Pokemon TCG Pocket. Forgive me if I ramble—it’s just one of those topics where my mind buzzes all over the place. First off, if ya haven’t heard, Pokemon TCG Pocket’s supposed to be a freebie playground. Daily booster packs, tons of cards, deck-building… you name it. Sounds sweet, right? Yet, it’s got this sneaky gacha vibe, making those super-rare cards feel like they’ve woven themselves into legends or something. Yeah, collecting can be such a mind-bender. Who’s got the rarest card? Heck, beats me. There’s always a new contender.

Let’s talk criteria. Two biggies here—first up is the sheer madness of pulling a rare card from a booster. Some cards feel like they’re just written into existence with “rarity” in bold letters. Then there’s how accessible they are. Like, are they lurking in every pack or just chillin’ elsewhere? With each new set, about 13 cards get slapped with the rare label, but who knows? The numbers might shuffle around when we hit July’s end.

Ok, picture this: you’re ripping open a booster pack, fingers crossed for those Crown Gold rares—like striking gold, if you’re lucky. They’re the top dogs amidst the pack chaos, followed by Immersive rares and those hypnotic Rainbow rares. Flash-forward to Eevee Grove, and here are your rare beasts: Charizard Ex, Pikachu Ex, and Mewtwo Ex. They’re in a league of their own with Genetic Apex packs—each barely peeking out at 0.013% or something wild like that. Makes my head spin just thinking about it.

And why stop there? More rarities pop up in other sets like Space-Time Smackdown—cue Dialga Ex and Palkia Ex. The odds are wild; feels like trying to win at a carnival game. Yet, add in the God Pack twist where Charizard can show up with a 5% chance. Almost like its own Pokemon mystery.

Side note: I’m sure some big brains are crunching numbers, theorizing about this stuff. But truth be told, Gold Crown Charizard, Pikachu, and Mewtwo Ex are like unicorns in this game. They’re tricky to nab ‘cause they’re only in these specific packs. Maybe the rarest card you’ve hardly ever seen might actually be our buddy Eevee Bag—new kid on the block.

Let’s not forget the promos! A whole separate flavor of elusive. Remember Lapras Ex? Ya probably don’t—it’s that niche. Back when the game just launched, there was this quick event to snag it. Blink, and you missed it. No place in Genetic Apex or the usual lineup for ol’ Lapras. Just a few players, from the old school days, can lord that over us.

Anyway, sorry for the zigzag through ‘card land’. Pokemon TCG Pocket’s a maze of shiny cardboard, but it’s oh-so-fun getting lost in it.
